## Resource

Dr. Priyanka Sharma, co-CEO of Kazmira Therapeutics and fellow co-CEO Pulak Sharma, cut through the confusion surrounding the rapidly evolving cannabis and hemp sectors. She clarifies the critical distinction between THCA—the non-intoxicating precursor that converts to THC upon heating—and delta-9 THC, noting that current marketing often masks the potential intoxicating effects of heated THCA products. Dr. Sharma also unpacks the implications of the Schedule III reclassification, explaining why it creates a distinct "two-lane system" for medical cannabis versus industrial hemp rather than a blanket regulatory change.
