Elevating Cannabis Quality Through Education
Educator, Scientist, Advocate
In today's rapidly evolving cannabis landscape, access has surged ahead of understanding. While dispensary shelves are stocked with a myriad of products, many consumers, caregivers, and even healthcare professionals find themselves navigating this green frontier without a reliable compass. That's where SafeCannabis.Info steps in.
This platform is the culmination of my journey through the realms of food science, cannabis therapeutics, and quality assurance. With a Bachelor of Science in Poultry Science from Texas A&M University, I've delved deep into the principles of hazard analysis, contamination control, and regulatory compliance. These foundations seamlessly transitioned into the cannabis sector, where I've taken on roles in product R&D, extraction, and dispensary supervision.
Further enriching my expertise, I am a Certified Ganjier and an MS candidate in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics at the University of Maryland. These experiences have solidified my commitment to bridging the knowledge gap in cannabis quality and safety.
SafeCannabis.Info is designed to demystify the complexities of cannabis testing. Through interactive lessons, state-by-state regulatory breakdowns, and clear visual guides, this platform empowers you to:
- Interpret Certificates of Analysis (COAs) with confidence.
- Understand potential contaminants like pesticides, microbes, and heavy metals.
- Recognize the true indicators of product quality beyond just THC percentages.
By blending scientific rigor with accessible education, SafeCannabis.Info aims to foster a more informed and health-conscious cannabis community.
