Walking into a dispensary for the first time may feel overwhelming for some. There are cannabinoid acronyms, brand names, and percentages to learn about. The amount of information can make some people black out, not getting any valuable details the budtender explains. Having educational materials to pour over at home is often the best way to learn about complicated concepts like the endocannabinoid system or the compounds in weed. That used to look like piecing together many well-researched articles, but not anymore.

Acannability developed the Periodic Table of Cannabis Molecules for this exact reason: to provide comprehensive, interactive information that can propel general weed knowledge forward.
“We all have different endocannabinoid systems that metabolize cannabis differently,” Joseph Friedman, scientific board member at Acannability, said in a press release. “Beginning that trial and error process so consumers can find what does and doesn’t work for them requires education. Our Periodic Table of Cannabis is the best starting point for consumers to begin that journey.”
Learning from the Periodic Table of Cannabis Molecules
Cannabis consumers, healthcare workers, budtenders, curious grandmas, and everyone in between can benefit from this wicked-awesome interactive map of cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and precursor acids. The compounds are presented similarly to the traditional Periodic Table of Elements, color-coded and organized into a geometric “U” shape.
Click on each box and read about the compound, including potential therapeutic treatments and background information. Those looking to utilize cannabis for a specific job can explore the symptoms or disorders they may relieve. This is not the first time this information has been made available to the public, but it is the most digestible way it has been presented thus far.
Tools like the Acannability Periodic Table of Cannabis Molecules are instrumental. Easy-to-understand education and increased accessibility to regulated weed are a major coup. They equip people to choose between medical cannabis and pharmaceuticals.
New age of weed education
There is a bounty of information available online about cannabinoids, terpenes, medical weed applications, and so much more. The issue with getting this info to the people who need it is not about quantity. It is about delivery.
This interactive tool is a meaningful step in the right direction. The weed lover in every family, friend group, or workplace who fields frequent questions about which strain, cannabinoid, or product someone should get would benefit from bookmarking this one.
