How do we standardize an industry that is known as the wild west? It's definitely difficult to implement standards in the cannabis industry but people like todays guest, Darwin Millard are working hard to ensure standards are in place to ensure quality and consistent products are on the legal market. Standards are created to ensure that when you purchase a product there is no mold, pesticides, residual solvent and more. This topic is a little heavy, but very important for any consumer or manufacturer to understand.

With any substance we use regularly, wether it be weed, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine or something else it's important to evaluate your relationship with it and make sure its adding value to your life. Todays episode is with Phil Stille who has struggled with his relationship with cannabis in the past and has learned ways to be kinder to himself and to cannabis via changing his mindset. I came across Phil a few months ago on social media and wanted to have a longer conversation to learn about his journey with cannabis over the years. In this episode we talk about mindset, intention, imposter syndrome, escapism, and so much more. WARNING, there is some explicit language in this episode. While not everyone struggles with their relationship with cannabis, I think it's safe to say that many people do and as a community we should try to help people find balance in their lives rather than judging in any way. Not everything in this episode is going to pertain to everyone, and we fully realize that issues go much deeper than what we are discussing here. Often times, inner peace and comfort will take many tools alongside cannabis like talking with loved ones and mental health professionals.

Join the Bioactive Community: patreon.com/cannabichem Nothing in this podcast is medical advice, ask your doctor before trying any new products. For centuries indigenous cultures have revered the power of natural products and in more recent years scientists have noted the chemical synergies of natural products. However, it can be VERY difficult to study these chemical synergies because to complete research you typically try to limit the amount of variables, which leads to a reductionist approach. Today I sit down and chat with Dr. Nadja Cech. Dr. Cech is a Patricia Sullivan Professor of Chemistry at UNC Greensboro and an active researcher in the field of natural product chemistry. She has published work on a variety of medicinal plants including kratom, goldenseal, echinacea, and now the synergies between phytochemicals within different plant species.

Not all natural products are safe nor effective and should be heavily researched before ingesting. CBD is one of the most popular supplements on the market. There are so many options that it can be difficult to figure out which one may be right for you. Today on the podcast we have Kyle Jones, the CEO and owner of Future Compounds. Future compounds specializes in producing high quality and high purity isolate compounds like CBD, CBG, and CBN at affordable prices. In this episode we discuss dosing of CBD products according to science, how to find good CBD products, how to make your own CBD products, the origin of Future4200 forum, and so much more.
