Today, we're talking about sensory science and its crucial role in R&D product development. While this methodology has been widely used for decades in the hops, beer, food, beverage, and perfume industries, the cannabis industry is just beginning to tap into its potential.
Our guest today is Marshall Ligare, Ph.D., former Research Scientist and Product Development Lead at John I. Haas, one of the world's leading hops suppliers.

When we talk about crafting the best cannabis products, we often focus on extraction and preserving key compounds. But what happens in the curing process is just as crucial—if not more—when it comes to manipulating and enhancing a strain's unique characteristics.
Joe Edwards knows a lot about this and has engineered decontamination and curing technology for Yofumo where he is the chief science officer. He is a biochemist, engineer, and expert on various agricultural systems and operations. He has won multiple awards for his post-harvest curation methodologies. Join us as we geek out and get deep into the weeds of curing.

Kyle Page grew up in the NYC and NJ area before being sent to a Kansas prison on marijuana charges for 8 years until the Last Prisoner Project intervened and got him released. They also helped him land a job with Ascend Wellness in their NJ cultivation operations. Kyle rapidly moved through the ranks into a top cultivation position. This year, Ascend Wellness is setting him up with his own dispensary called East Coast in Dank.
This is a happy ending for someone who served time in federal prison for selling marijuana and turned things around to open a dispensary with a top MSO.
