The Department of Pharmacology at The University of Arizona is comprised of faculty, fellows, students, and technical staff working together to understand how chemicals influence human disease. Some chemicals and drugs are used to treat human diseases while others are known to cause human diseases.

Franny Tacy, CEO of Franny’s Farmacy today on Hempire only on Cannabis Radio. Franny was raised with farming in her blood. She grew up in Nashville, TN to a cattle farming father and a banking executive mother. Jeff lived on a homestead farm in rural NY with a garden, pigs, chickens, geese, and a family horse. These early histories planted agricultural roots that would later grow over time. Franny experienced her youthful, independent years out west in the Forestry program at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. While in college, “Franny and friends” moved to a farm and developed it with gardens and animals, hosting a monthly “Full Moon Festival” and getting involved in agricultural crop research. She continued her educational path, completing a Graduate Degree in Education at TN State University.

Dr. John Streicher earned his PhD from UCLA in 2009, in the lab of Dr. Yibin Wang, where he studied the signal transduction cascades linking heart stress to heart failure. He then went on to a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Laura Bohn at Scripps-Florida, where he studied biased signaling at the opioid receptors. In 2012, he joined the faculty at the University of New England, where he combined the threads of his training into a research program focused on the signal transduction cascades of the opioid, cannabinoid, and other brain-relevant receptors, mostly in the context of pain. He joined the faculty of the University of Arizona in 2015, where he continues his work today.

Pacific College of Health and Science Medical Cannabis program with Eloise Theisen, RN, MSN, AGPCNP-BC today on Hempire only on Cannabis Radio. Eloise is one of Pacific College’s Medical Cannabis program expert faculty members, was cited in a recent article on cannabis’ potential role in brain health in CRx magazine, an essential source of information for health and medical professionals who include cannabinoid products as part of their treatment plans. Eloise is a board-certified Adult Geriatric Nurse Practitioner who specializes in cannabis therapy, having worked with cancer, dementia, and chronic pain patients for 20 years. According to Eloise, studies have begun to examine the role cannabinoids play in protecting brain cells and slowing the progression of certain neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but “more clinical research is needed in these areas to better understand how cannabinoids can be used to treat or prevent such diseases.”

Infinite Chemical Analysis Labs with Co-founder and CEO Josh Swider today on Hempire only on Cannabis Radio. While pursuing their PhDs in analytical and organic chemistry, Josh Swider and Dave Marelius became aware of the medicinal benefits cannabis offered patients that went beyond the realm of traditional medications. However, the cannabis community lacked analytical chemists dedicated to proving its potential. Knowing their experience could help set the standards within the industry, Josh and Dave founded Infinite Chemical Analysis Labs in 2016 with one goal in mind- providing the new, emerging cannabis and hemp industries and their consumers with high-quality, accurate testing services they could trust. Since then, the team of two has grown to over 30 talented scientists with bachelor’s degrees or higher, ensuring their passion for science is reflected in their work. As regulations changed, our services have grown to cover all required testing set forth by the state of California, with validations in place for the most reliable analyses.

Jill Ellsworth founder of Willow Industries today on Hempire only on Cannabis Radio. It begins in early 2015, with an unexpected phone call. It was Jill's old friend, a first-time grower, and he had a problem: Colorado had new cannabis testing laws, and his first harvest was now subject to testing. By the time the call ended, two things were obvious: cannabis contamination—by mold or other means—was an industry-wide problem, and there were no solutions on the market. But a solution did seem possible, so I agreed to help. Over the next few months, our garage became an R&D lab. And They've tried everything. Willow started with high-pressure pasteurization, but that destroyed the flower. Then they moved to UV light, but it wasn’t powerful enough and—worse—they saw terpene loss. Finally, after multiple rounds of testing, they arrived at the ozone. This time, Willow saw great results. Ozone killed the microbial without altering the flower—our perfect solution! Four months later, they delivered the first operational WillowPure system to their first customer, and it was off to the races.
