The Big Lebowski— Into the Weed(s): Clarifying Cannabis Science Misconceptions
Program Description
Cannabis has been legal in Washington state for over 10 years, but most people aren’t very knowledgeable about the types of products available, and you might be surprised about what the science says. Dr. Wise will clarify a few common misconceptions about cannabis, like why budtenders shouldn’t be asking “Indica or Sativa” at the store and what the different numbers like Percent THC or milligrams of THC mean. She’ll also include new cannabis science information about the aromatic molecules.
Film Synopsis
Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire of the same name, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.
Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski doesn’t want any drama in his life…heck, he can’t even be bothered with a job. But he must embark on a quest with his bowling buddies after his rug is destroyed in a twisted case of mistaken identity. Starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and John Turturro, this hilariously quirky cult phenomenon from the Academy Award-winning Coen Brothers features bowling, a severed toe, White Russians, and a guy named…The Dude.
