Ep 17: A Food Scientist on Weed or Cannabis Manufacturing 101

Cornucopia: The Cult, Culture & Business of Food

This bonus track from our Food Scientist on Weed episode features Mary Mulry who discusses the challenges weed food companies face as California shifts to legal cannabis. New rules requiring companies to standardize the amount of THC in their cookies, gummies and chocolates is a burden. One that isn't easy, even for food science professionals and especially difficult for those many companies who entered the business without formal food manufacturing skills. You know the type. Like your college roommate that dropped out junior year to sell pot brownies for 11 years following the Grateful Dead all over the world. So, whether you want to learn more before mortgaging the house to start a cannabis business, or you're just a dedicated stoner who wonders why those strawberry banana gummy bears sometimes hit you nice and sometimes hit you hard, this episode is for you. Actually, even if you're someone who still calls marijuana the devil's lettuce we think you'll enjoy it too!
