How do we standardize an industry that is known as the wild west?

It's definitely difficult to implement standards in the cannabis industry but people like todays guest, Darwin Millard are working hard to ensure standards are in place to ensure quality and consistent products are on the legal market.

Standards are created to ensure that when you purchase a product there is no mold, pesticides, residual solvent and more. This topic is a little heavy, but very important for any consumer or manufacturer to understand.

The Network of Applied Pharmacognosy is a reserach non-profit formed by Dr. Miyabe Shields and Dr. Riley Kirk.

The goal of the nonprofit is to provide a more nuanced and holistic view of cannabis as medicine and emphazie community data and engagement. On this #NAPTIME Riley and Miyabe head to Nova Scotia, Canada for two speaking events: one geared towards industry professionals and another towards consumers.

The two talk about what they discussed during these events as well as shenanigans during packing (Riley accidentally greens out tasting canna-butter pierogies), touring an aquaponics facility, getting detained at customs... and so much more. Sign up for NAP's emails on our website:

Where does cannabis play a role in end-of-life care? Today Riley speaks with Dr. Rasean Hodge, MD. Dr. Hodge has worked with a large diversity of patients and is an open consumer of cannabis products.

He has suffered from chronic pain and opiate addiction and helps patients learn from professional and lived experience.

The THCA market is taking the US by storm, but what is it? and how is it legal?

Todays guest is Liz Peterson who is the head of operations at Canvast Supply Co. in Nashville, TN and also has a background in organic chemistry.

Liz works in the THCA market and knows the ins and outs of the cultivation, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution of THCA products.

I believe that THCA products should continue to be available but we should be testing these products before they reach consumer hands.

If you want to try THCA products from a trusted source, Canvast Supply Co. is offering 20% off your order with the code Bioactive20.
