As the world looks on, the U.S. slowly makes its way towards legalizing cannabis at the federal level. But has the stalling just been because politicians were waiting for the bigger pocket books of tobacco and alcohol to pay their way to federal legalization and industry control? Shanita Penny, Founder of Budding Solutions, former President of the Minority Cannabis Business Association and well know industry advocate for Corporate Social Responsibility and sound ESG practices serves on the “Center for Excellence” advisory group meant to help guide the recently formed Coalition for Cannabis Policy, Education and Regulation. With companies like Constellation Brands, Altria, Molson Coors, and the National Association of Convenience Stores at the helm, why the need for a new organization when many others exist has been often speculated on by cannabis industry veterans.

Other questions asked:
- How does medical access to cannabis differ in India from Western countries?

In this episode, Chris Day discusses the future of hi-tech and cultivation science with AI, Big Data, and your mobile phone. Assaf Gavish, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of MyCrops fuses Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and hi resolution imagery to get ahead of disease and infestation. While the science isn’t limited to cannabis, the MyCrops app dubbed HiGrade even allows home growers and consumers to use their data warehouse of hundreds of thousands of images to cultivate better and predict THC percentages.
MyCrops provides plant vision diagnostics to greenhouse operators with on-site imaging systems and machine vision algorithms. You can call it "Telemedicine for plants". The Digital Agronomist platform is a three-part system: cameras installed in the greenhouse, a SaaS dashboard, and a mobile app. Greenhouse operators receive alerts on early symptoms of health issues, and harvest optimization with pilot programs around the world.
Assaf Gavish, Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer
Assaf Gavish is a biology researcher with over 9 years of expertise in computer vision for agriculture. Starting in his B.Sc. in Biology at the Tel Aviv University, he developed a novel method to track plant disease using and imaging system and image analysis. The plant disease researched was the infection of Botrytis cinerea, one of cannabis’s major pathogens. In collaboration with MIT researchers, he designed and utilized a novel micro-fluidics method for plant visualization and fortified his expert status in advanced light microscopy and computer vision algorithm development. In 2017, Gavish partnered with Asaf Levy to work on a machine vision based diagnostics startup MyCrops, aiming to serve cannabis cultivators.
