Pc breaks down two major articles from NEO420 News. The first article outlines how independent organizations are requesting the DEA be removed from the research approval process to conduct research on cannabis as the DEA has been promising since 2016 with little results. The second article is a testament to how popular medical marijuana aka mmj is becoming. Each state has different rules but the medical patient always gets more when you compare to adult use. And that's a good thing that needs to stay in place as well as expand!

At MJBIZCON in Las Vegas, we had the opportunity to have George, Simona, Justin, and Tim of Rad Source Technology join us and share their insights as to why and how their equipment protects Cannabis consumers. Tune in now and hear what George and his team are doing to help lawmakers understand why consumers need to care and be protected from potential molds and pathogens in their Cannabis. George and the Rad Source Technology teams put significant emphasis on providing resources and educating governments to assist in their consumer protection policies. Diane Russell, Editor of Maine Cannabis Chronicle and our very own WeedBudz Policy advisor understands exactly how important it is that lawmakers take a proactive approach and research some of the ways we can prevent these microbial contaminants in the first place.

Alan is the founder of Strainly, a Montreal-based startup whose mission is to provide a web based app allowing peer-to-peer cannabis cultivars to exchange and improve access to propagation material.

Strainly allows legal cannabis growers and breeders (medical or adult use) to trade seeds, clones, tissue cultures or pollen and have easier access to a variety of cannabis strains to grow and breed.

Whether looking for Indicas, Sativas, Hybrids or even Ruderalis, users can browse, filter and find their cultivars while benefiting from a rating/reviews mechanism, fostering trust among the community.

Check out Alan Strainly as he breaks down how cultivators can protect their cannabis creations/strains from being patented by large corporations. Avoid the trap and learn how to protect your strains through open source.

How you behave in Starbucks may reveal something about whether your ancestors grew wheat or rice. That’s the conclusion of a new study in China, which finds that people descended from wheat farmers—who largely rely on themselves—typically drink coffee alone, whereas descendants of rice growers—who must work with their community to build complex irrigation fields—tend to sip in groups. Jeff and Anthony wonder where Pumpkin Spice Latte drinkers came from.

Born in the Central Valley of California, Nikiko Masumoto spent her childhood slurping over-ripe peaches on the Masumoto Family Farm (an 80-acre organic farm in Del Rey, CA). She has never missed a summer harvest. In 2007 she graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.A. in Gender and Women’s Studies. It was there that she realized she wanted to return to the Valley to farm. But first she completed a M.A. in Performance as Public Practice from UT Austin. Her research focused on the performance of memory and Japanese American history. Daily, she apprentices with her father on the family’s small organic farm whilst continuing work in arts and community. In 2013, she published her first book, co-authored with parents Mas and Marcy, a cookbook The Perfect Peach. She participated in the Catalyst Initiative, a civic practice cohort program of the Center for Performance & Civic Practice, Emerging Leaders of Color in the Arts program of WESTAF, and is currently a Creative Community Fellow with National Arts Strategies. She has served on various volunteer and nonprofit boards in the Central Valley (Central California Asian Pacific Women, Central Valley Community Foundation, Valley Public Radio, California State University Fresno’s College of Arts & Humanities). She currently serves on the board of the Alliance for California Traditional Arts and Western States Arts Federation. On most days you can find her on a tractor, dreaming of projects yet to be born and justice yet to be won.

The Masumoto Family Farm is also the subject of the documentary film Changing Season: On the Masumoto Family Farm.
