Our topic today: Discussing the potential negative effects of sun exposure on the skin, such as premature aging and an increased risk of skin cancer, etc

  • While traditional sun protection methods such as sunscreen and protective clothing are effective, there is growing interest in the potential benefits of using cannabis-infused products for sun protection.
  • The potential benefits of using cannabis for sun protectant include anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Why is this topic important? 

Personally, I’ve had skin cancer myself, and several others do as well!
