Cannabis Science and Technology January/February 2025 Interactive Digital Edition

Listen to Noid Factoid from Anna Schwabe, PhD, Chief Operating Officer, Cannagen.

In this latest installment of Noid Knowledge, we are joined by Daniela Vergara, PhD, Hemp Specialist at the Cornell Cooperative Extension, and Anna Schwabe, PhD, Associate Lecture Professor at the University of Colorado, discussing the evolution of cannabis cultivation and the need for regional climate data. Their recent project, funded by the Agricultural Genomics Foundation, studies 10 cannabis varieties grown by farmers in different regions, specifically plant characteristics, soil type, and harvest metrics. They aim to understand how environmental factors affect cannabis yield and quality, providing actionable insights for farmers and breeders.

Here, we bring you our top five recent articles covering revoking medical cannabis cards in Florida, testing and sampling initiative in Missouri, our mid-year regulations roundup, depenalization ordinance stopped in Texas, and accuracy in THC labeling in flower versus concentrates.

In this latest installment of Noid Knowledge, we are joined by Dr. Allison Justice, Founder and CEO of the Hemp Mine, and David Sandelman COO, CTO & Co-Founder of Cannatrol. Here, Allison and David discuss innovations in cannabis drying and curing, focusing on the Cannatrol technology which controls vapor pressure, preserving trichome integrity, and flower quality. Additionally, Allison shares how the Cannabis Research Center and Coalition (CRC) is transition to an open-source model to support cultivators, researchers, and home growers.

Data from a recent study discovered that THC labeling was more accurate in concentrate products than with cannabis flower.

Despite federal hurdles, WSU researchers at the Center for Cannabis Policy Research and Outreach (CCPRO) are expanding cannabis science and collaboration.
