Laboratory A Brings Medicated Cheese Dip To The Party
Epoch Venture Group Pushes The Edible Envelope When considering medicated edibles, most people are inclined to think about the classics: brownies, cookies, and chocolates. However, Todd Shapiro, the founder of Epoch Venture Group, has taken a slightly different approach to edible making. Epoch Venture Group’s testing kitchen, Laboratory A, has created a number of interesting creations as of late. They offer veganic infused puppy chow and their Toffee Turtles were …
Terpenes May Improve Effectiveness of Medical Marijuana
Terpenes Influence the Synergy Effect of Cannabis As we know, science has identified and characterized the molecular structure of around 20,000 terpenes, which makes it the largest category of plant chemicals. These aromatic compounds are found in the essential oils of plants and flowers, and plenty of studies have been done on their effects. Of the 20,000 identified terpenes, about 140 of these have been found in cannabis. Only a few of them appear in high concentrations, but they have been found to have a number of benefits.

Northwest Naturals Coconut Butter By The Venice Cookie Co.
The Venice Cookie Company, the maker of our favorite strawberry lemonade, has been working hard in the kitchen to develop a healthy and potent spread for patients. Meet their new line of edibles, Northwest Naturals. As we know, cannabinoids are best absorbed by saturated fats such as butter or coconut oil. As a general rule of thumb, the more saturated a fat is, the easier it is for the body to break down in order to absorb the cannabinoids. Since Coconut Oil is about 92% saturated, it makes an excellent fat to use in cannabis …
Study: Cannabidiol (CBD) May Protect Neurons In Brain
Researchers Study CBD’s Neuroprotective Effects More evidence of cannabidiol’s (CBD) role in brain development seems to present itself every month.

Study: CBD-Based Topicals May Aid In Alcoholism Treatment
What Is CBD’s Effect On Brain Degradation? According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), alcohol can be linked to neurodegradation (i.e. breakdown of neurons, which are brain cells that communicate with each other to transmit signals) among other effects. Due to the fact that cannabidiol (CBD) has been found to potentially have neuroprotective effects, a study published last week in Pharmocology Biochemisty & Behavior aimed to explore the effect of cannabidiol topicals on alcohol-induced …
Gluten-Free Infused Puppy Chow From Lab A
Infused Puppy Chow Offers A Light Edible Option I am a firm believer that the gluten-free edible market is one that will take off in the coming years. With the recent events concerning federal cannabis policy, states will seemingly be free to regulate collectives and edibles without fear of prosecution. This is important, because it allows companies the security of mind necessary to create the best products possible. One company that is ahead of the game in that regard is the Epoch Venture Group. They …

Study: Cannabinoids Show Potential In Reducing Nausea
Study: THCV, CBDV May Reduce Nausea In Humans Although many of the benefits of cannabis go unreported, it has become a relatively common treatment for the experience of nausea. In fact, one of the most common conditions for which medical cannabis is prescribed is chemotherapy-induced nausea. This should come as no surprise; cannabis has been successful in treating a number of chemotherapy’s side effects, including heart failure. Despite the effect cannabis has on nausea, there is not much information available as to why. A recent study, published in the British Journal of …
