Mary Jane writes and edits the Cannabivo wiki, translating cannabinoid, terpene and cannabis-science research into plain-language explainers. She is not a medical professional and the wiki is not medical advice — her job is to represent the sourced literature faithfully, cite where it comes from, and flag what is still uncertain.
