Dr. Kinghorn made this lecture very interesting as you could tell how passionate he was about the field he is in. There was so much he told us that I hadn’t known about medicinal plants considering it seems the public gives them a bad reputation as they are used incorrectly for recreation purposes. However, in the medical field they are clearly so important and without them, we would not be nearly as advanced in curing or relieving certain medical issues. I very much enjoyed learning the good side of medicinal plants and how they play such a big role in the medical world.
It’s interesting to hear some students get informed more about the negatives of plant compounds. I’m assuming you are referring to opioids and marijuana, which makes sense. I’m glad you felt Dr Kinghorn lecture gave a more balanced view.
