Raphael Mechoulam - Full Unedited Interview from "CBD Nation"

In July 2018 I interviewed Dr. Raphael Mechoulam for my documentary "CBD Nation" about his long, discovery-filled career researching cannabis, its compounds and effects. As is the nature of filmmaking, only a few minutes of the interview ended up in the film. Since Dr. Mechoulam passed away a few days ago, I thought it could be useful to post the full, unedited interview. Here it is. Dr. Mechoulam was the first to isolate delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, aka THC - the “high-making” molecule in cannabis - in 1964, at the Weizmann Institute in Israel. He has since made many important discoveries and published an extensive body of research in the field of cannabis science. It was in his lab that the first endocannabinoid, soon named Anandamide, was discovered by Lumír Hanuš (also featured in our film, and in this interview) and the late Bill Devane, who had come to Israel from Czechoslovakia and the U.S, respectively. Dr. Mechoulam is in large part the reason Israel became such an important center for cannabis scientific research. At the time of this filming, at 88 years old, Dr. Mechoulam was still working every day running his cannabis research laboratory at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
