How this kit was built

Every claim in these guides traces to a published source, 48 in all, listed section by section. Where the research is thin, or where common advice has no study behind it, the guides say so. Nothing here diagnoses you or replaces a clinician.

For effects, risks, interactions and dosage context, see the THC compound profile.
