Did they have unique strain genetics?    Prof. Kylie O’Brien, Ph.D., CSO of the Releaf Group Ltd, joins us to discuss how cannabis might have been used in Chinese medicine and the “State of the Union” for cannabis in Australia.   Kylie’s recently published book: Medicinal Cannabis & CBD in Mental Healthcare   LINK: Periodic Effects Youtube Channel   LINK: Schedule 1-on-1 Consulting Call w/ Wayne *read all details for 1-on-1 calls in this calendar link   LINK: Contact Periodic Effects Podcast

The cannabis industry started with a strong focus on craft, while the hemp industry launched with a strong commodity focus. Low quality (commodity) tomatoes are grown to process and use for ketchup. The next phase of growth in the hemp consumables industry will likely require growers and product makers to focus more on craft, and less on growing hemp to make ketchup. Our guest is Justin Chaddick, CEO & Co-Founder of Treepost, an online marketplace that curates craft hemp products. We discuss what’s working (and not working) in the current hemp CBD market.   LINK: Periodic Effects Youtube Channel   LINK: Schedule 1-on-1 Consulting Call w/ Wayne *read all details for 1-on-1 calls in this calendar link   LINK: Contact Periodic Effects Podcast
