Exploring the Diverse Potential of Cannabis: Addressing Challenges
in Cannabinoid Solubility

Cannabis is a versatile plant with multifaceted potential, offering diverse opportunities through hemp as a raw material, including sustainable textiles, biofuels, and wellness products. It possesses a wide range of medicinal uses, with effects varying depending on factors such as strain, dosage, and individual physiology. Its varied chemical composition, encompassing cannabinoids, terpenes, and polyphenols, contributes to its ability to induce a spectrum of responses in patients. Through its interaction with the endocannabinoid system, cannabis demonstrates its versatility, offering therapeutic potential across a broad spectrum of conditions and experiences. However, cannabinoids have poor solubility which limits their oral bioavailability and efficacy.
