Assistant professor of molecular and cellular biology Lisa Ganser discusses research on treatment using cannabis oil
State senators are scheduled to vote Thursday on a bill that would decrease the maximum level of THC, the active ingredient in cannabis oil allowed in Georgia, from 5 percent to 3 percent.
Lisa Ganser is an assistant professor of molecular and cellular biology at Kennesaw State. She does research on how cannabis oil relieves symptoms of spasticity - like Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.
"A lot of anecdotal support has come in, and certain trials have come in that have said that decreasing the amount of THC or the concentration of THC in cannabis oil does seem to lower its affectivity," Ganser says. "What we've done in the lab has certainly supported those data."
