After much hesitation, scientist Riley Kirk decided to create a TikTok account. It’s dedicated to, in her words, “our favorite medicinal plant, crannabis!” This came after much convincing from her friends, and thank the stars for them! Her term “crannabis” originated because of the rules and regulations of TikTok. It does not allow creators to use certain language in videos.

Riley Dee:
My friends finally convinced me to make an entire account on Tik Tok to only talk about science, so no cats. On this account, we are going to really focus on the chemistry and pharmacology of our favorite medicinal plant crannabis. We’re also going to talk about some really interesting natural products. We’ll talk about some laboratory workflows that we use in natural products. We’re going to talk about some recent literature, and then I really want to learn from you guys about your experiences with crannabis, because I think there’s a lack of fundamental knowledge of how this plant affects people differently.
You can show your support for this account by liking, commenting, sharing, something, so we can get a network of people that love this plant to all connect on this app. In the next video, I will tell you my credentials, because I do think I’m qualified to talk about this and you should not believe everyone on the internet.
