Unveiling New Marijuana - Cannabis Cannabinoids: THCP and CBDP Marijuana research is an ever-evolving area, continuously revealing brand-new cannabinoids with one-of-a-kind residential or commercial properties. Amongst the current explorations are THCP (tetrahydrocannabiphorol) and CBDP (cannabidiphorol). These unique substances promise to reshape our understanding of cannabis and its prospective benefits. This blog delves into the fascinating world of THCP and CBDP, exploring their chemical structures, prospective benefits, present research study, and future ramifications. With extensive testing from accredited labs like a Third Party CBDTesting Lab, these discoveries hold terrific pledge for both the cannabis market and medical applications. What are THCP and CBDP? THCP and CBDP Defined THCP: THCP, or tetrahydrocannabiphorol, is a newly uncovered cannabinoid that resembles THC yet is possibly a lot more potent. This increased effectiveness is thought to arise from its distinct chemical structure, which allows it to connect extra highly with the body's endocannabinoid system. THCP's discovery opens the door to brand-new possibilities in cannabis-based therapies, specifically in locations where high strength is helpful. CBDP: CBDP, or cannabidiphorol, is one more newly recognized cannabinoid that carefully resembles CBD. Nonetheless, minor variations in its framework may lead to one-of-a-kind therapeutic advantages not seen with conventional CBD. This could consist of enhanced anti-inflammatory properties or various other health advantages, making it a considerable discover for clinical research and item development. Continue….

A follow-up to yesterday's post on the unsustainability of cannabis cultivation: "whenever possible, grow outdoors" This is a passage from famed indoor breeder and grower DJ Short's book. Seems simple right? Just replace indoor grows with outdoor grows and problem solved? Unfortunately it isn't that easy. The main issue is unintentional genetic effects from the war on drugs. Allow me to explain. The drug war drove breeding indoors. Rounds and rounds and rounds of selective breeding under highly controlled environments means outdoor adaptive traits were lost (read: pest/disease resistance, drought and stress tolerance, ect). It's not the plants' fault. It's not breeders' faults. It is what it is. However, don't expect to plant acres of Cali dispo hype strains outside and be successful. Add the complexity of states outright banning anything but indoor, or microbial tests that essentially prohibit outdoor. Add the perceived quality differences in grow styles ingrained in the culture and the consumer. THIS is why we desperately need genetic improvements. This is why we need S3 Genetics This is why we need #BetterCannabisThroughScience

This resonates so clearly in Oklahoma as I am sure it does elsewhere nation and world wide! So many rules that have almost no impact on safety or quality that accomplish nothing except hobble and cripple folks that have put their lives on the line for this industry only to have rediculous laws imposed after they put their savings and resources on the line based on existing rules! Then the rules change mid-game to create a breaking point destroying lives by the tens of thousands and possibly millions of people and their families! All for stupid laws that create zero safety or quality improvements, eliminate zero diversion, and accomplish nothing more than governmental control and the ability to retain the industry for connected corporations! It is really kind of disgusting!

Florida sued over lab meat ban, winter wheat planting is underway, and USDA to allow H5N1 vaccine trials for dairy cows. Farmer confidence is falling, Impossible and Motif end legal dispute, and a new app matches strangers for a meal. Common questions I get from ag stakeholders: What #agtech should I be looking for? Do I need agtech? Where do I go to find the right agtech? What should it cost? It’s difficult to navigate the dynamic agtech landscape. We could use a trusted advisor in agtech. The agtech entrepreneurs that become trusted advisors will unlock enormous value. I’ll explain how in this week’s newsletter. #agtechfriday #agriculture #advisor #trust #startups #innovation #trustedtech #agtwitter #agtechadvisor https://lnkd.in/gBgcGDEy

Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY) is going to start selling hemp-based, low-dose THC drinks in the U.S. in October. This is enormous news. Why? Because Tilray, a Canadian company is going to start selling hemp-based, low-dose THC beverages to Americans and apparently the NASDAQ is perfectly fine with this. https://lnkd.in/gAs8dP3z

In the cannabis world, there's a tech frenzy over nutrients and feeding schedules, but is all that fuss necessary? Think about it: plants need just soil, sun, air, and water. High-tech indoor setups are cool and all, but they can crash with one wrong move, while outdoor grows keep it chill, letting nature do its thing. Field growing shows us bigger can be better, offering strong, healthy plants without the micro-management. As the industry leans towards large-scale farming, it's clear: the future is less about fancy feeds and more about embracing the simplicity of traditional agriculture. Let's not get lost in the latest nutrient hype. Cannabis thrives on the basics, and that might just be the smartest way to grow, both for the plant and our planet.

Is the end of Cannabis State Track and Trace software in sight? With Schedule III upon us, we have an opportunity to eliminate BioTrack, Metrc, and MJ Freeway as we normalize the industry. Many contracts are coming up for renewal, and the best answer is simply to go to a self-reporting and audit system. This is a failed "experiment" in making the simple overly complex. In theory, a state reporting system seems great. In practice, it's a massive tax and overhang on the industry. BioTrack is full of arbitrary gotchas, bugs that will never be fixed, and funky workflows. *Maybe* the new API-only method will prove better. We'll see as the year progresses. Metrc is a half-baked, unstable, environmental disaster. Illicit shops in NY and DC are full of Metrc-tagged California product, so clearly stopping diversion is a joke. Instead of fixing the product, they've taken all the feedback and launched a paid version of the API to try and siphon more off the top of the industry. MJ Freeway still lives in PA. They haven't managed or been willing to open up the integration in nearly 7 years. This zombie company (assets are now owned by BioTrack) is on its last legs. Meanwhile in states like Arizona, NY (currently, pending the BioTrack launch), Florida (historically and still partially as people slowly get on the "new" BioTrack), and Georgia the cannabis industry runs like a normal, although heavily regulated, industry with mandatory inventory tracking software of choice. No issued with diversion. No issues with recalls or patient safety. Taxes are collected just fine. Do operators need to track and manage inventory in a formal system? YES Should operators be able to demonstrate traceability and that they're playing well within the regulated market? YES Do we need to have live reporting to a state system? NO. Not in the way these vendors have approached it. Tell me why I'm wrong.

With all it's moving pieces, regional laws and regulation, the confusion around naming conventions in the #cannabisindustry is a bit of a quagmire. What is #hemp really? What is #marijuana really? And, how are they both #cannabis?

Ever lose a cannabis crop to PM? Don't ever let that happen again. Put a pathogen detection sensor in your grow rooms. Once pathogen levels reach your set-point, you get an alert notifying you to take action. Growing cannabis without real-world cultivation data is the past. Collecting data on everything that happens in your grow room is the future. Stop the guesswork and arrive at the future of growing. You can't manage what you don't measure. Think high-tech growing is expensive? How expensive is it to lose an entire harvest to mold or PM? Do the math... We'll be waiting😎 Leave PM in the comments to learn more about pathogen protection

Energy Success Story: How One MA Cannabis Cultivator Slashed $3,000+ in Monthly Power Costs In an industry where margins are getting tighter by the day, I'm excited to share a recent win with a Massachusetts-based cannabis cultivation facility. Through strategic power contract negotiation, we helped them reduce their monthly electricity costs by over $3,000 - that's $36,000 annually going straight back to their bottom line! Why Cannabis Cultivators Need to Act Now: Energy costs typically represent 30-40% of operational expenses; Massachusetts electricity rates are among the highest in the nation; Rising competition is squeezing profit margins; Many growers are locked into unfavorable legacy contracts from when they first opened The Reality Check: Many cannabis operators signed their initial power contracts during their facility buildout, often accepting whatever rates were available just to get up and running. With the market maturing and energy costs soaring, it's crucial to revisit these agreements. Quick Tips for Cultivators: -- Review your current contract expiration date -- Start shopping rates 6-12 months before renewal -- Compare fixed vs. variable rate options -- Consider time-of-use programs -- Evaluate on-site generation possibilities Are you a cannabis operator looking to reduce operational costs? Let's connect and explore how you can optimize your energy spending.

So what can we expect from the rescheduling to Sch III? We don't know. What we can do is look at the hemp industry and the REMOVAL of hemp from the CSA to get an idea of what might happen based on how the government handled that. (spoiler - it's really bad). The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the Controlled Substance Act. It took three years for the USDA to issue its Final Rule for hemp production. The roll-out was arduous and frustrating. In 2019, the FDA issued a memo that they would regulate CBD and hemp derived products. Five years later, in January of 2024, the FDA decided the framework they have won't work and asks Congress to tell them how to regulate CBD. For reference, from 2014 to 2018, hemp grew into a multi-billion dollar industry, larger than the sum total of the cannabis industry of today. (the hemp products market is still larger than all of cannabis btw) Let's look at some data: Acres of hemp grown in US since removal from CSA (from USDA annual reports): 2018 - removal from CSA 2019 - 511,442 2020 -336,655 2021 - 54,500 2022- 28,314 2023 - 27,680 From 2019 to 2024, hemp acerage grown in the US dropped by 95%! 95%! And the only thing that happened was the federal government got involved - just like they plan to do with cannabis. The hemp industry (aka American farmers) lost over $50 billion dollars after the feds removed hemp from the CSA. A report published in 2019 predicted that over 2,300,000 acres of hemp would be grown in the US in 2023. But thanks to the FDA and federal government's incompetence, that acreage was actually 1000x (!) lower than expected. If you were involved in the hemp industry from 2014 until now, like I have been, you know what has happened and how many thousands of lives were destroyed. What was the primary reason that the hemp industry was destroyed? It was the incompetence of the FDA, its failure to promptly issue regulations, putting a multi-billion dollar industry in limbo, and thousands of farmers out of business. What do you guys think the chances that the FDA, and DEA, alongside Congress will handle the cannabis industry any different than it did hemp?
