On this episode of Cannabis Tech Talks, Managing Editor Patricia Miller interviews Maxwell and Kevin Koby of ABSTRAX Tech, a company specializing in botanical extraction, terpene, and aroma compound research. The Koby Brothers are taking a scientific approach to cannabis testing — far beyond quality control — and have developed a unique way to test for molecules often overlooked with standard testing techniques. The brothers were recently credited with the discovery of “the Gas” compounds, which are responsible for the dank, skunky aroma unique to cannabis. This refined testing will one day allow scientists to rank cannabis based on its unique chemical qualities, rather than through consumer reviews, which is how most cannabis is rated today.

In this episode of Cannabis Tech Talks, Editor-in-Chief Charles Warner had the opportunity to speak with Yobie Benjamin, San Francisco-based investor and activist. Yobie explains how cannabis companies can help fight COVID-19. The largest cannabis companies in the U.S. and beyond all have real-time PCR machines, which are capable of detecting the RNA of the COVID-19 virus. Yobie Benjamin is calling on the FDA to grant a CLIA waiver so that cannabis companies, and other companies and institutions, can pitch in on the fight against the virus. Testing is critical for identifying infected individuals and separating them from the healthy. Unlike in South Korea, China, etc., the U.S. has failed thus far to scale up testing. Here’s a brief video by Benjamin talking about the untapped potential of PCR machines: https://www.facebook.com/yobie/videos/10157642328171677/ Today’s Cannabis & Tech Talks is brought to you by Fluence by OSRAM.
