I help companies understand cannabis.

ABOUT

With a decade of experience in the legal cannabis industry, 

I have seen a lot: mistakes, successes, pivots, constantly shifting regulations. I've developed market-leading products and learned from failed ones. Now I put my experience to work helping companies and individuals understand the science, avoid common pitfalls, and optimize for the modern cannabis marketplace. Learn more.

Inspiring and challenging the cannabis industry

RECENT TOPICS:

THE FUTURE OF CANNABIS FORMULATION

Does more advanced tech mean better products?​ What happens when the big players in food and consumer processed goods enter the marketplace? The juxtaposition of legacy and whole-plant approaches with modern tech can be a clash--or an opportunity.

ETHICAL CONSUMPTION

The legal gray-area that CBD and THC occupy is rife with bad actors and passive corruption. Here's how to choose the right producers and products in a poorly-regulated market.

SEX & CANNABIS IN THE #METOO ERA

The #metoo movement sparked a massive cultural conversation about consent, and particularly what it means in the context of intoxication from alcohol. That conversation is fraught, complicated, and contentious, but it is happening. Unfortunately, it is not happening in the cannabis world. As more sexuality-oriented cannabis products are developed, it is our responsibility to foster a shared consent culture for cannabis.

CANNABIS 101 SERIES

A three-part introduction to the history, biology, and variety of modern cannabis​ for both the THC and CBD markets.
