After having chronic conductive anosmia over a long period (>10 years) I can “receive smells” but my brain is unsure what to do with them.

It’s been a year since I started “receiving smells” but I still have this “olfactory dyslexia”. Is it possible this will be permanent and I will never learn how to smell?

Why is there such an aversion in cannabis research to investigating multiple cannabis candidates at once? Or at least their relationship to each other?

Most studies that I read are using purified compounds like d9-THC, CBD, or in this case CBDV. I don’t doubt the potential for a single compound to have efficacy for certain targets, but it’s removing the context of the biosynthesis of these cannabanoids. Cannabis evolved to produce a complex collection of cannabinoids - why would we not take that into account when investigating isolated compounds?

I get that using whole-flower cannabis introduces a variety of logistical hurdles in research. But why is it that we then only use a single purified compound when we could be characterizing relationships between a handful of the 100s of identified cannabinoids on desired outcomes?
