The Science of Cannabis Extraction Online Symposium 2020

Speaking at an Analytical Cannabis webinar in January 2022, Kim Ross, PhD, Chief Science Officer at Peak Compliance LLC, presented her talk on hemp regulation, testing and standardization.

Abstract: In the 21st century we've witnessed a rapid resurgence in popularity of hemp-derived products, from textiles to tinctures, gummies, skin creams, infused beverages, and much more. The hemp 'industry' is comprised of increasingly diverse and rapidly growing sectors of manufacturing and commerce, yet remains marred by questionable legality in many parts of the globe. The high demand for and popularity of hemp-derived CBD for infused products in the US continues despite the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) position stating CBD remains illegal as an ingredient in food, dietary supplements, animal feed, or for interstate commerce. In the absence of FDA oversight, the National Industrial Hemp Council of America (NIHC) plans to introduce guidelines for hemp product quality testing to support truth-in-labeling and screen for contaminants such as pesticides and heavy metals. The establishment and standardization of consumer safety benchmarks for hemp-derived products will be discussed in this webinar, including an overview of current state-mandated testing for cannabis in the US and suitability of this framework for hemp quality control testing.

Challenges of Regulatory Oversight, Quality Testing, and Standardization within a Global Patchwork of Hemp Markets

Speaking at an Analytical Cannabis and Technology Networks webinar back in December 2021, Alex Kwan, Associate Professor at Yale University presented his talk on psychedelics and the neurobiology of fast-acting antidepressants.

Abstract: Depression is debilitating, yet treatment options are limited. Psychedelics have emerged as potentially impactful drugs with promise of long-lasting beneficial actions. As a result, there are growing efforts to optimize their use in the clinic and to develop next-generation psychedelics with improved pharmacological profiles. One major challenge, however, is that we still do not have a full understanding of how psychedelics work in the brain.

In this seminar, I will describe my lab’s work on fast-acting antidepressants. I will talk about experiments in animal models that have identified cell types and neural plasticity processes involved in ketamine and psilocybin’s actions. I will discuss how the biological insights may lead to novel circuit-level biomarkers, which are crucially needed to accelerate the search for new psychiatric drugs.

Speaking at The Science of Cannabis Cultivation Online Symposium in December 2021, Hope Jones, PhD CEO of Emergent Cannabis Sciences and Co-Founder & CEO of Superior Phenos, LLC discussed micropropagation techniques.

Abstract: This presentation will focus on micropropagation as a tool for propagating and multiplying elite cannabis genetics, and will address the need for further optimization.

Speaking at The Science of Cannabis Cultivation Online Symposium in December 2021, Colleen King
VP of Growth at Ciclo and Educator at TraceTrust explored the cannabis terroir profiles.

Abstract: Cannabis is the first rapidly growing agricultural industry in nearly a century. Given the history of prohibition and its profound repercussions on genetics and cultivation culture, the timing of mass adoption in the information age is shaping the way we describe, grade and market our products. In this conversation, we will discuss the cannabis industry’s unique position to utilize technology in crafting evaluation standards; while other specialty agricultural industries have relied on the human sensory system alone. This discussion will include a brief overview of how coffee, tequila, spices and wine build micro-regional terroir profiles and reputations. Then, we’ll explore how leveraging environmental data and terpene isolation through testing will drive research to create micro-regional terroir profiles and best practices for cultivating high-quality cannabis in any appellation.

Building Cannabis Terroir Profiles: Appellations and Insights Gleaned from Specialty Industries

Speaking at The Science of Cannabis Cultivation Online Symposium in December 2021, Stephen Goldman, Chief Science Officer at Kaycha Labs explored pesticide testing in cannabis and hemp.

Abstract: Pesticide and mycotoxin testing regulations differ in each state. The applicable pesticides used can differ by crop (hemp vs. cannabis) and pesticide effectiveness on cannabis and hemp in the first place is currently in doubt. Each pesticide's risk profile is different based on product type, route of delivery, physicochemical properties. Inside the laboratory, different extraction methods can lead to different recoveries and different instrumentation has different detection limits. This talk will cover how cultivators and laboratories can reliably mitigate the risk of these toxic compounds in their products and ensure regulatory compliance and robust methodology.
