Breeding Cannabis for Unique Smells with Twinkle Paryani Aug 23, 2024

Riley sits down for the second time with reserach scientist Twinkle Paryani from Abstrax Tech.

Twinkle recently wrote a paper titled "Nonterpenoid Chemical Diversity of Cannabis Phenotypes Predicts Differentiated Aroma Characteristics"

and can be found (open-access) at https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acsomega.4c03225

This paper dives into the chemistry of smell, and when cannabis breeders are breeding for unique aroma, how they should be evaluating the final product. We often attribute the smell of cannabis to the terpene profile, but there is a lot more going on than just terpenes that give this plant it's unique complex aroma.

Tips to Using Cannabis for Exercise with Dr. Whitney Ogle Jul 26, 2024

In this episode Dr. Riley Kirk interviews researcher Dr. Whitney Ogle about using cannabis for exercise, Dr. Ogle is passionate about this subject because she has found the benefits of medicating before runs, hikes and other forms of exercise and believes it can be a tool to a healthier lifestyle.

Dr. Kirk and Dr. Ogle talk about what reserach that is currently happening, how both of them personally integrate cannabis and exercise, navigating difficult conversations, the role of CBD and more.

Dr. Ogle's Bio: My personal mission is to make the science of human movement meaningful, understandable, and applicable to daily life. I am guided by my values in finding connections among concepts from diverse sources, striking a balance between cultivating new ideas and improving on current designs, and continual growth by learning with and from others.

Originally from Chicagoland, I have moved all over the United States for school and work. I earned my Bachelors degree in Exercise Science from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. While in my Doctorate in Physical Therapy program at Regis University in Denver, Colorado, I had the opportunity to do clinical rotations in Utah, Arizona, Washington, Western Colorado, and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. After I completed my DPT degree, I worked as an outpatient orthopedic physical therapist near Seattle and helped with functional capacity evaluations of injured workers north of Seattle.

I decided to go back to school to get more involved in research at Indiana University where I earned a Masters degree in Exercise Physiology and a PhD in Human Performance with a focus on Motor Control and Motor Learning with a minor in Psychological Brain Sciences. While I was working towards these degrees, I worked as a home health physical therapist for babies 6 months to 3 years old in rural Southern Indiana and occasionally in skilled nursing facilities for older adults who were medically stable enough to be out of the hospital but not safe enough to be at home.

I was drawn to Cal Poly Humboldt because of its strong focus in social justice, giving students hands on experience with research, and because it is physically beautiful! I enjoy rock climbing, slacklining, swimming, hiking, and going on walks with my cats.

Alex Halperin: Illegal Pesticides in Legal Cannabis Jul 12, 2024

On this week’s episode, Dr. Riley Kirk discusses illegal pesticides found in legal California cannabis products with Alex Halperin, the founder of WeedWeek and one of the main reporters on this topic. They review what pesticides were found, how this investigation started, and how the industry can improve these findings.

This article is very important for medical users to be aware of and is unfortunately another reason why we need to have the right to homegrow. Most labs when analyzing cannabis products are using a targeted method of analysis, meaning they know what molecules they are looking for and they report on those specific compounds. However, in this case, the illegal pesticides were not known, so they were not tested for. This brings up the issue if the cannabis industry needs to implement some form of testing to ensure we are not missing anything potentially harmful in the products.

If you want to read the pdf of the article for free, see the full list of pesticides that were found in this study with the known health risks, and find out what brands tested hot all this info is linked is Riley’s Patreon.

Thanks always for listening and special thanks to anyone who has given Bioactive a 5 star review - mad love my friends and see you in 2 weeks!

Standardizing the Cannabis Industry with Darwin Millard Apr 26, 2024

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.

Poisons and Venoms with Dr. Seth Coleman Nov 22, 2023

Nothing in this podcast is medical advice, personal opinion only.

Thank you to the patrons of this podcast for making it possible and everyone who has left a 5 star review.

Todays episode dives into the evolutionary biology of poisons and venoms. This has always been one of my special interests for years and I was so excited to find Seth educating on social media about similar topics!

We Launched a Cannabis Research Nonprofit! #NAPTIME w/ Dr. Miyabe Shields Nov 03, 2023

This weeks episode is all about our newly launched Cannabis research nonprofit called the Network of Applied Pharmacognosy (NAP). Miyabe and I co-founded this non-profit to expand the community's voice in scientific research surrounding cannabis and other natural medicines. We currently have 2 studies underway and we just published our first paper on CBG use for anxiety.

TODAY we released what we hope to be the largest and more depth cannabis survey that will help guide us towards future studies needed in our community.
