Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #48325 Cannabis Science
Instructions
In  the  final  episode  of  a  three-part  podcast  series,  Christie  Taylor  explores  some  of  the  challenges  and  opportunities  that  cannabis  presents  for  society,  both  now  and  in  the  future.  One  of  the  topics  that  Taylor  examines  is  the  possibility  of  growing  cannabis  compounds  in  labs,    the  need  for  cultivating  the  plant  itself.  This  could  offer  a  more  efficient  and  consistent  way  of  producing  cannabinoids,  the  active  ingredients  in  cannabis,  for  medical  and  recreational  .  Taylor  talks  to  researchers  who  are  working  on  developing  methods  to  synthesize  cannabinoids  using  yeast,  bacteria,  or  algae.  Another  topic  that  Taylor  discusses  is  the  environmental  impact  of  cannabis  production,  which  is  often    or  underestimated.  Growing  cannabis,  whether  legally  or  illegally,  consumes  a  lot  of  water,  energy,  land,  and  fertilizers,  and  generates  greenhouse  gas    and  waste.  Taylor  interviews  experts  who  are  studying  the  ecological  footprint  of  cannabis  and  looking  for  ways  to  make  it  more  sustainable  and  less  harmful  to  the  planet.
