Ep. 28: Exploring Volatile Sulfur Compounds in Cannabis

In this latest installment of Noid Knowledge, Jason Wilson from the Curious About Cannabis podcast discusses with our host Evan Friedmann and guests TJ Martin, Ian Oswald, and Kyle Boyar, their experiences at the American Chemical Society (ACS) conference in San Diego. Wilson shares insights from a conversation with colleagues about their research on volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) in cannabis, which contribute to its aroma. They found that while most VSCs were present in low concentrations, some strains like Gelato and GMO had higher levels. They also discussed the importance of proper packaging, noting that mylar bags can effectively retain these compounds. The conversation highlights the need for better analytical methods and open-access research to advance the cannabis industry.

Ep 24, Part I: Data Transparency in Cannabis Testing with Yasha Khan

Evan Friedmann interviews Yasha Khan, co-founder of MCR Labs, about his journey into the cannabis industry and his efforts to promote transparency and integrity in laboratory practices. Yasha discusses the origins of MCR Labs, which began in Massachusetts to meet the needs of the soon-to-be legal medical cannabis market. He explains the challenges faced, including result manipulation by labs and the impact on public health. Yasha's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) project aimed to gather testing data from 37 states, revealed significant discrepancies in potency and mold results. Despite some states' reluctance to share data, Yasha has made much of this data public, leading to collaborative research and publications on various aspects of cannabis testing.
