Identifying Fruity & Savory Cannabis Aromas Medicinal Genomics 2024-03-20 | NEW CannMed Coffee Talk, we discuss Analyzing Fruity & Savory Cannabis Aromas! #shorts TJ Martin is the VP of R&D at Abstrax Tech, Inc, a company that specializes in the research, development, and production of botanically derived and cannabis-inspired terpenes. TJ and his team recently published a paper that identified several non-terpenoid compounds that are responsible for the unique aromas associated with exotic cannabis varieties, including the berry, tropical, candy, and fruity notes found in Zkittlez and Gelato as well as the rich, intense, chemical scents found in GMO. This research opens up a new world of aromatic compounds and challenges the idea of classifying cultivars based on terpenes alone. Listen Now: Our conversation covers:⦿ How cannabis aroma affects consumer and patient experience⦿ The variety of aromas the cannabis plant can produce and how it compares to other plants⦿ Define exotic cannabis varieties and compare them to more prototypical cultivars⦿ Why terpenes alone do not tell the entire aroma story in exotic cannabis varieties⦿ How to communicate information about non-terpeninoid compounds to consumers and patients in a meaningful way Thanks to this Episode’s Sponsor: Agilent Technologies

Cannabis Impairment Biomarkers | Danielle McCartney, PhD Medicinal Genomics 2023-12-02 | Dr. Danielle McCartney is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics at the University of Sydney, where her main role is to coordinate clinical research into the effects of cannabidiol on simulated car driving performance. Danielle and her colleagues recently published a systematic review of 20 studies that examine the next-day effects of THC. As the study states, “The length of time an individual should wait following cannabis use before performing safety-sensitive tasks, is a critical issue.” Some government agencies and experts recommend individuals avoid performing safety-sensitive tasks for at least 24 hours. It should not surprise you to learn that the data suggests a much shorter impairment window.During our conversation, we discuss: - The different types of studies the authors reviewed and the criteria they used to evaluate them - The different tests administered to measure impairment- How next-day effects of THC compare to acute effects - How next-day effects are different in medicinal cannabis patients vs recreational users - What methods are available to determine THC impairment in drivers- What is a reasonable impairment window for THC Additional Resources- The “Next Day” Effects of Cannabis Use: A Systematic Review - liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/can.2022.0185- Determining the magnitude and duration of acute Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC)-induced driving and cognitive impairment: A systematic and meta-analytic review - sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763421000178?via%3Dihub#!- Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics - https://www.sydney.edu.au/lambert/- Review the Podcast! - podcasts.apple.com/tt/podcast/cannmed-coffee-talk/id1504218804- CannMed Archive - cannmedevents.com/cannmed-video-archives- CannMed Community Board [Facebook Group] - facebook.com/groups/cannmedcommunity

Cannabinoid Concentration and Temperature Medicinal Genomics 2023-10-05 | Mitchell Westmoreland is a Ph.D. candidate working with Dr. Bruce Bugbee in the Crop Physiology Laboratory at Utah State University. His Ph.D. research focuses on whole-plant physiology and cultivation of medical Cannabis in controlled environments. He has published his research on photobiology and plant nutrition in high-impact peer-reviewed scientific journals.I spoke with Mitch about the various environmental factors that contribute to cannabis yield, specifically light, temperature, humidity, and CO2. Mitch does a great job explaining the energy cascade, which describes the underlying mechanisms that plants use to convert photons to energy and ultimately biomass. Mitch also explains how those factors can be manipulated to not only increase yield but also make better use of resources.

Are There Next Day Effects of THC? - Danielle McCartney, PhD Medicinal Genomics 2023-09-28 | Dr. Danielle McCartney is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics at the University of Sydney, where her main role is to coordinate clinical research into the effects of cannabidiol on simulated car driving performance. Danielle and her colleagues recently published a systematic review of 20 studies that examine the next-day effects of THC. As the study states, “The length of time an individual should wait following cannabis use before performing safety-sensitive tasks, is a critical issue.” Some government agencies and experts recommend individuals avoid performing safety-sensitive tasks for at least 24 hours. It should not surprise you to learn that the data suggests a much shorter impairment window.During our conversation, we discuss: - The different types of studies the authors reviewed and the criteria they used to evaluate them - The different tests administered to measure impairment- How next-day effects of THC compare to acute effects - How next-day effects are different in medicinal cannabis patients vs recreational users - What methods are available to determine THC impairment in drivers- What is a reasonable impairment window for THC Additional Resources- The “Next Day” Effects of Cannabis Use: A Systematic Review - liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/can.2022.0185- Determining the magnitude and duration of acute Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC)-induced driving and cognitive impairment: A systematic and meta-analytic review - sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763421000178?via%3Dihub#!- Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics - https://www.sydney.edu.au/lambert/- Review the Podcast! - podcasts.apple.com/tt/podcast/cannmed-coffee-talk/id1504218804- CannMed Archive - cannmedevents.com/cannmed-video-archives- CannMed Community Board [Facebook Group] - facebook.com/groups/cannmedcommunity
World’s Largest Phenotype Hunt Medicinal Genomics 2023-09-26 | On this week's CannMed Coffee Talk we welcome Nathaniel Pennington, Founder and CEO of Humboldt Seed Company. #shorts Nat and his team have been supplying high-quality cannabis seeds to growers since 2001. In 2018 they hosted the World’s Largest Phenotype Hunt, teaming with local farmers, industry experts, and top researchers. We talked about the Mega Phenotype Project as well as Nat’s process for breeding consistent and reproducible cannabis seeds. Topics include:- The Phenotype Rating Sheet used to evaluate plants- The process of creating stable, pure-bred lines- Why Humboldt Seed Company chooses to sell pure-bred lines- Benefits of growing from seed rather than clone- Benefits of autoflower varieties and common misconceptions- The importance of legacy growers collaborating with academics and researchers

How Post Harvest Activities Affect TYM Levels - Zamir Punja, PhD Medicinal Genomics 2023-08-15 | Zamir Punja, PhD is a Professor of Plant Biotechnology at Simon Fraser University in Canada. His research interests include the etiology and management of plant diseases on vegetable and horticultural crops, and the applications of plant biotechnology for disease management. Since 2018, his work has shifted to researching cannabis, where his group has described a range of previously unreported pathogens affecting the crop and has evaluated various methods for disease management. His team just published the results of a 3-year study that identified several factors related to growing, drying, and trimming cannabis that have a direct affect on Yeast and Mold levels. This is important because when growers fail for microbial testing, yeast and mold is most often the reason. So if you are a grower who has struggled with total yeast and mold, perhaps these findings can help you get back on track. I’ve put a link to the paper in the show description, and if you are watching on YouTube, I have added several figures and images from the paper throughout the conversation.
