On this week’s episode of The Budding Report, we are joined by Lisa Tollner & Ari Raptis. The guests join our hosts Charles Horton, Melissa Nasits, Christian Shaw, MD, PhD, and Chris Perri as we discuss Case Report: Cannabidiol in the Management of Acute Opioid Withdrawal.

Lisa Tollner, Sensi Signature Products Co-Founder and CMO • 30+ years in global branding and new product development • Fortune 500 marketing expertise • Strategy, brand development, and marketing for healthcare, medical devices, and pharmaceutical products • Focus on start-ups and go-to-market strategy Sensi Signature Products History Lisa co-founded Sensi with her husband in 2012. They began their journey into the world of cannabis in an effort to help her mother with debilitating pain from 35 years as a CCU/ICU nurse. Through 2 years of research, experimentation, and networking with early cannabis pioneers, they realized the incredible potential cannabis had to help people suffering from a range of conditions, and as an alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals. The research convinced them to develop a product, Sensi Chews, which now encompasses a family of 9 cannabis infused edibles. Using their backgrounds in high tech manufacturing and engineering, as well as brand strategy, they launched in Northern California collectives in 2013. Sensi was the first edible to voluntarily lab test for potency and purity, and provide accurate dosing. In 2016 Sensi launched Sensi Caps CBD-Rich Soft gels, and in 2020 they launched the first healthy vegan, low-sugar, Omega 3infused Sensi Gummies. Today, Sensi Signature Products are in 300collectives across the State and is considered one of the top edible brands. Advancing Cannabis Research Believing in the value of research Lisa began different research channels. In February 2017, they launched a Stanford approved study conducted by IROC(Institute for Research of Cannabis) that tracked1400 patients to better understand how cannabis effects their quality of life and the conditions they are hoping to treat. Sensi is continually gathering consumer insights for insomnia and pain using online studies delivered through their website (https://sensichew.typeform.com/to/Izl2SJ)and work with PhDs to analyze the data to provide meaningful insights into consumer attitudes and usage. Sensi Signature Products is the only edible manufacturer dedicated to ongoing cannabis and edibles research. Customer Education and Accessibility, She is a strong believer in the importance of education and has created in-depth case studies that address specific health conditions and how cannabis can help. Medical experts, reports, and studies are combined to give consumers valuable information on the effects of cannabis. No other edible company produces case studies of this quality and selection. Others just offer education on general edible use. Each Sensi Chew includes an insert with detailed usage instructions to ensure that new users have a smooth and safe experience. No other edible brand provides comprehensive instructions. Lisa had a vision that cannabis companies should act like any other company and be accessible to their consumers. She implemented a customer support hot line so staff can speak directly with consumers and learn first-hand what they are experiencing and provide guidance. In addition, Sensi uses this direct customer interaction to educate them on Sensi’s products, but also general cannabis questions and topics. Sensi is one of the few edible companies to provide a Support Call Center for consumers.

A cannabis business entrepreneur who was named a Top 40 Under 40 Rising Star in the industry by Marijuana Venture, Ari Raptis’s professional background in logistics and supply chain management created the foundation for Talaria Transportation.

With the goal of building the optimum logistics system for the evolving needs of the cannabis industry, Talaria provides secure product, payment, cash processing, and lab testing transportation for license holders in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and East Coast markets.

On this week’s episode of The Budding Report, we are joined by Daniel Hayden.

The guests join our hosts Charles Horton, Melissa Nasits, Christian Shaw, MD, PhD, and Chris Perri as we discuss Women Increasingly Turn to CBD, With or Without Doc's Blessing.

Daniel Maida Hayden, Ph.D. received his B.S. in Biotechnology from Rochester Institute of Technology and his Ph.D. in Plant Molecular Physiology from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. His dissertation focused on the molecular mechanisms of tropical plant senescence and aging.

For the past 10 years, Dr. Hayden has worked exclusively on Cannabis oleoresin extractions, specifically involving cured resin. He invented High Terpene Full Spectrum Extracts, or “HTFSE”, in 2016. Dr. Hayden developed the extraction technique that led to the creation of HTFSE: “Cosolvent Technique.” The technique uses CO2 as a Cosolvent-like-buffer to protect the oleoresin during hydrocarbon extraction, resulting in a wonderful experience of flavor and effervescence in the final product.

One hundred percent of all the products are derived from CURED RESIN
and cannot be replicated or reproduced with living resins. The Cosolvent technique is capable of high- throughput at 100s of pounds processed a day, but also small-batch. As little as 1 lb. of cured trim is capable of generating profitable cured cannabis retail products that truly resemble the unique identities of the cultivators and strains from which they are derived.

Dr. Hayden has worked in academic, government, and private laboratories as a molecular engineer specializing in merging biology with technology to study ongoing molecular and metabolic processes that lead to phenotypic results. These pursuits mostly focused on plant secondary metabolism, plant tissue culture and transformation, and transcriptome analysis of developing oilseeds and endosperms. He possesses declared competency by fire code officials and is a leading subject matter expert on plant biochemistry involving the composition and creation of secondary metabolites in the trichomes of cannabis plants.

Dr. Hayden’s core expertise involves environmental health and safety, clinical lab experience, solvent handling, and process management which ensure the ultimate safety of his employees and all legal and compliant retail products manufactured by Extractioneering.

On this week’s episode of The Budding Report, we are joined by Kron Burgundy & Zetti Carnell. The guests join our hosts Charles Horton, Melissa Nasits, Christian Shaw, MD, PhD, and Chris Perri as we discuss Toxins in Marijuana Smoke May Be Harmful to Health, Study Finds.

Award-winning actor, talk show host, comedian and public speaker, Russ T. Nailz, takes a semi-serious look at the current state of the cannabis industry on his new show Live High Live. Russ brings humor to heavy-hitting topics and educates viewers on all aspects of cannabis: marijuana and hemp.

Live High Live guests range from parents of children benefitting from cannabis to non profits and for- profits, investors, cannabis convention and expo founders, researchers, RNs, MDs, NMDs and Ph.D.s, collectives, dispensary owners, manufacturers to cannabis connoisseurs and advocates.

Live High Live features guests with extensive knowledge of today’s cannabis industry and how it applies to the rest of us. Their experiences and opinions leave the audience more knowledgeable and accepting of cannabis than ever before.

Zetti Carnell’s passion for cooking is about as thick as her southern accent, about as deep as a bowl of chicken and dumplings and about as sweet as the iced tea we drink down south. Her love for cooking was inspired by my grandmother, who was an amazing chef and known around Louisiana as the Dumpling Lady. She hails from a creative lineage. Her grandfather was a country-western star on the Louisiana Hayride and played with Johnny Cash, Slim Whitman and Elvis Presley. Her mother followed in his footsteps with music but instead of secular music, she became an ordained worship pastor.

Her family’s blood is steeped in church, music and food. When you grow up in church in the Deep South, you’re always around food. Her grandmother was really the catalyst that introduced me to the “trinity,” as we say in the south. Onions, celery and bell pepper. That mirepoix is as close the father, son and holy ghost you can get in her book.

She’s always loved to cook in her formative years as a teen, and as a young adult. At the time, she just didn’t realize she would want to do it for the rest of her life. She went to seminary school and eventually ended up pastoring in a few small churches in Dallas.

What she loved most besides the music she played, and the people, was as you would guess, the food. She was in charge of basically all the church events and not only did she cater, but she came up with themed designs, tablescapes, decor and more. She loved every minute of it. She got so good at it people were calling the church wanting me to not only design for their weddings, receptions and holidays but also make the food.

Shortly after Zetti left the full-time ministry, she headed to Nashville, Music City USA, where she was signed to an artist development deal. During that time, she was writing, playing, singing, performing but still always found her way back into the kitchen, cooking for guests, friends, family and hosting parties.

Zetti came back to Dallas in 2012 after the new President of the Label decided to drop newly rostered artists and she did her best to build her fan base and continue her music. However, the scene was changing, and she was losing her patience with the music industry. She kept sharpening her chef skills by attending classes, catering parties and events, hosting pop up kitchens and tastings.

In 2019 she finally got it through her thick skull as her “mama” would say and decided to follow her passion for cooking. In 2020 she left her full-time job in IT sales and solutions and moved to LA to become a celebrity private chef.

She was doing amazing cooking for Lady Gaga’s old manager Bob Leone, She revamped a Hollywood production restaurant menu, and met with some people at NBC Universal and cooked for several other songwriters and singers and then COVID happened. Everything shut down on a hard lockdown. She didn’t have her car in LA and feared getting stuck, so she made the decision to return to Dallas and from her home build out a new strategy.

Zetti started a highly successful food delivery service where she delivered meals that she called “quarantine cuisine.” Through that delivery service, she was able to stay afloat, along with her personal chef services and catering. So that is where she is now, building and growing and establishing herself in Dallas as a premier private chef offering private chef services, catering, cooking classes, food delivery, and event planning. If you enjoy southern, creole, and Asian Food, you will enjoy her culinary fusions.

On this week’s episode of The Budding Report, we are joined by Danny Murr-Sloat & Andrew Serafini. The guests join our hosts Charles Horton, Melissa Nasits, Christian Shaw, MD, PhD, and Chris Perri as we discuss Five Republicans Vote for Bill to Decriminalize Marijuana.

Danny Murr-Sloat inspires many as the famed owner of AlpinStash who credits consuming and growing cannabis with losing 70 pounds, transitioning off over 19 prescriptions including opiates for an array of medical issues, and eventually becoming one of the most revered micro-cultivation brands in Colorado. He’s also a prolific breeder. Since 2014, he’s steadily built the AlpinStash brand through his meticulously bred in-house cultivars, several of which are cult favorites among Colorado connoisseurs. Murr-Sloat’s Lemmiwinks, Sparrow King, Falkor, Grape Grimoire, and Platinum Tiger Cookies cultivars are flying off the shelves, which is especially notable in a state where the retail system pays little homage to growers, if at all. Danny’s secret is keeping operations small-scale, paying attention to the finest details, and adding his personal touch to everything AlpinStash grows.

Mr. Serafini is a former firefighter/medic and pioneer in the medical cannabis and CBD industries. Since 2014, Andrew has co-founded and launched several CBD companies and brands focusing on the importance of wide-spread education for patients and medical professionals alike while producing medically-geared CBD and adaptogen-based products for the management of acute and chronic illnesses.

Educating and training physicians/licensed professionals in the US and Brazil on the functional and clinical uses of cannabinoids, Andrew has a unique skillset with deep experience with the business of cannabinoids, but concurrently understanding the medical uses for cannabinoids across a number of disparaging diseases. Holding a Cannabis Science and Medicine Certificate from The Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine, University of Vermont; Professional Certificates from The Medical Cannabis Institute in Clinical Cannabinoid Medicine; a graduate of the Green Flower Media Cannabis Fundamentals Certificate Program; and Foundation of Cannabinoid Medicine Program Certificate from The Advent Academy, Mr. Serafini has alongside many of the brightest researchers and medical practitioners in Integrative and Cannabis Medicine.

To date, millions of families have been affected by these efforts and the CBD industry is now moving into the mainstream of society. One can see or hear about CBD on every radio station and even on Superbowl ads. All of this because of the initial effort of a few folks back in 2011 planting the CBD flag into the ground and fighting for true significance.
