From a scientific perspective, there is immense potential for the use of its components in the pharmaceutical and medical industries In this regard, there is an unexplored but promising future for using the plant's components for medicinal purposes. Proof of this was the recent news indicating that a study found that cannabis compounds prevent infection by Covid-19. Now that we know this, nothing is impossible for the pharmaceutical and medical industries. As the days go by, there is a new event that has to do with the achievements of…

There is a growing fight for the legalization of medical cannabis, and with each new law, a stigma is broken, a step forward is taken, and people's perception of the plant's benefits is changed. But what about the benefits not classified as medicinal? There are some additional benefits for those who consume cannabis for adult use, and the most outstanding is its stimulation of creativity. It is no surprise then that cannabis has had a place in the lives of so many artists, writers, singers, musicians, etc. Although there is still no conclusive scientific study to prove this statement, we find in the testimonies of our interviewees from our different editions the positive relationship it has had on them and their art. We want to dedicate this edition to all those who paint…

Water is the basis of life; its cycle on earth allows the development of different biological processes indispensable for the present ecosystems. It is one of the most abundant compounds in living beings; for example, it represents almost 90% of their constitution for plants. We find water in different places, such as rivers, lakes, seas, oceans, and groundwater; it is a resource that, depending on its origin, can have alterations in its physicochemical and biological factors. For instance, fresh water, with a pH between 6.5 to 8.5, is not the same as salt water, which generally has a pH between 7.5 and 8.4, to name one parameter of water quality (pH = Hydrogen Potential, which is an indicator of acidity or alkalinity of a solution). Cannabis plants are no exception and…

CWJ: When and how did Radio Cannabis Argentina begin? Leonardo Mesa: Radio Cannabis Argentina began at the end of 2020 in a very positive context, we had a lot of information about cannabis that was developing nationally, and internationally as well.

As I am…
