Cannabis Data Science

🚯 Today we underscore the usefulness of archiving cannabis lab results. Following the principle of "never throw away data", we archive 5,500 lab results performed by SC Labs that have since vanished from the internet.🛣️ As straightforward as the task may seem, nuances of human language are critical in parsing lab results. We realize that we need to use natural language processing (NLP) in our COA data extraction efforts, months before ChatGPT hit the scene. This is a phenomenal blast from the past and hopefully you find a nugget or two of wisdom.🤝 Join the fun, data wrangling, and analytics in the Cannabis Data Science meetup, every Wednesday at 8:30am PST | 10:30am CDT | 11:30am EST. https://www.meetup.com/cannabis-data-science/🧑‍💻 Find the data and source code: https://github.com/cannlytics/cannabis-data-science💸 Support the group: https://opencollective.com/cannlytics-company🔥 Check out Cannlytics: https://cannlytics.com

☀️ This week we talk about the need for open data in the cannabis space because summary statistics can't be trusted and consumers benefit from actually being able to see the data for themselves. Why? Because homegrow is often prohibited and bad actors plus shady businesses cut corners and use bad business practices because cannabis is in a legal gray area. There are a few good actors who deliver top-notch organic cannabis, but open data is needed to both identify clean, green cannabis as well as identify bad actors who are taking advantage of the legal gray area to profit off of unknowing cannabis consumers. As always, we use our favorite tool in our toolbox, statistics, with hope to shine a little light so that honest businesses can grow. 🤝 Join the fun, data wrangling, and analytics in the Cannabis Data Science meetup, every Wednesday at 8:30am PST | 10:30am CDT | 11:30am EST. https://www.meetup.com/cannabis-data-science/🧑‍💻 Find the data and source code: https://github.com/cannlytics/cannabis-data-science💸 Support the group: https://opencollective.com/cannlytics-company🔥 Check out Cannlytics: https://cannlytics.com

🧑‍🌾 Join the meetup where backyard botanists share tales of tall plants. See how homegrowers, in the face of adversity and defying all odds, can grow a plant pesticide-free when multi-million dollar companies can't.🐌 This isn't your grandma's garden club; it's a peek into a subculture where the legacy of the 60s and 70s meets the high-tech of the 21st century. Contemplate the corporate tentacles trying to monopolize Ms. Mary versus the undying spirit of homegrowers where it all began.🏭 Will we let big canna win? Hell no. This is where the spirit of DIY thrives. If you've ever doubted the passion of homegrowers, then here's a conversation that's both intellectual, uplifting, and good fun. So, put on your sunglasses because the future is bright, and let's ride one more time to brighten up the haze-filled future. As the sun sets on another cannabis conundrum, remember: the people who pioneered this plant by putting some seeds in some soil and putting those seedlings under some lights, whether they're lights in your basement or the great light above shining on your balcony.
