Description

Welcome to episode 11 of our podcast where we discuss some interesting developments in the cannabis and psychedelic space. In this episode, Gianni updates us on the latest developments in driving laws and how CBG tests may be better than THC tests for impairment. We also talk about the recent TGA approval of MDMA and psilocybin and what it means for the future of psychedelic therapy. Join us for an exciting and informative discussion on these topics.


In this episode, we welcome back our resident expert guest, plant enthusiast, final year Ph.D. candidate in the genetics of medicinal cannabis at La Trobe University, friend and favourite cannabis scientist, Gianni Del Rosario-Makridis. Gianni's work is dedicated to discovering new and exciting therapies for treatments by unlocking the therapeutic benefits of plants. He graduated with first class honours in botany in 2017 and has been researching cannabis trichome genetics full-time as a Ph.D. candidate since then. In addition to being an academic teaching plant-based molecular biology to undergraduates, Gianni is also a scientific consultant in the cannabis industry with experience as a cultivator for one of Australia's largest cannabis companies. He brings a wealth of expertise in both the science and commercial sides of medical cannabis to our show.
