Standardizing the Cannabis Industry with Darwin Millard Apr 26, 2024

Show notes

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.

Everything you need to know about THCA with Liz Peterson from Canvast Supply Co. Mar 09, 2024

Show notes

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.
