You may have heard of new AI-powered apps that match you to a specific cannabis product based on your preferences and other people who share their outcomes using products for the same purpose.
Now, there is the HashDash app. It matches flower strains to consumers based on over 5,000 strain profiles. It directs consumers to a nearby dispensary that sells the strain or products with the same strain or similar cannabinoid profile. You can purchase it and pick it up through the app.
Today, our guest is Scott Lynch, the co-founder of HashDash. He shares his journey building the app and working with dispensaries to make choosing and finding strains an easier experience for consumers.

What if you could R&D a cannabis product or cultivate a strain knowing the precise effects a specific cannabinoid or terpene would provide a person based on scientific evidence? You can.
Our latest guest is Israel Gasperin, the CEO of Zentrela, a scientific research company using EEG and AI technology to measure the brain waves of a cannabis user as a way to understand the impact of cannabis on the brain and how it alters a person's mood.
Brands are using the technology to provide scientifically backed evidence on how specific cannabinoids and terpenes can affect a person by using their products. It will be a game-changer for breeders and product developers looking to provide a particular effect to their consumers.
The technology is groundbreaking for cannabis brands, breeders, and cultivators. Pax used it to prove the efficacy of the entourage effect in their rosin-based products.

Prof. Dedi Meiri heads the Laboratory of Cancer and Cannabinoid Research at Technion, Israel's highly regarded Institute of Technology. He comes from a highly diverse scientific background in biochemistry, plant biotechnology, and cancer and has about 50 research scientists working under him.
We discuss the complexities of the endocannabinoid system and Dr. Meiri's painstaking work to document numerous combinations of cannabinoids to determine which ones unlock specific receptors to treat diseases like cancer. Does the endocannabinoid system hold the answers to understanding how cancer works in the body and how to destroy it?
Key Talking Points:
Research Focus: Dr. Dmeiri's lab specializes in drug discovery, primarily focusing on cancer and other indications using medicinal plants.Precision Medicine: By understanding which receptors cannabinoids bind to and their specific effects on different cells and tissues, personalized medicine approaches can be developed.Identified specific cannabis strains and molecules that work synergistically with immunotherapy, enhancing its effectiveness without compromising it. Emphasizes the importance of matching the right cannabis strain to the patient and their treatment regimen.Examples of Applications: The research has identified cannabinoids that affect conditions like sleep disorders and specific cancers by modulating receptors and biological pathways.Clinical Trials: Conducted four clinical trials to understand how cannabis interacts with immunotherapy. Found that cannabis can either reduce or not affect the effectiveness of immunotherapy, depending on the specific strain and cannabinoids present.Ongoing research is needed to identify which plant combinations are most effective for treating specific diseases.In various studies on conditions like inflammation, cancer, and migraines, THC was rarely the primary active component; other cannabinoids like CBD or minor cannabinoids were more effective.Future Directions in Personalized Medicine: The potential to identify deficiencies in the endocannabinoid system through blood samples is still far off.The Mary Jane Society is produced and hosted by Pam Chmiel, a marketer and publicist specializing in the cannabis industry.
