  • Pretty Decent

    The content is pretty good but it always feels like the host was handed a highlight sheet minutes before the show and is just reading from it as opposed to interviewing the guest.

    It’s an important topic - needs more fluidity to the interview process.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kazmira Therapeutics and the Future of CBD Medicine
Q: What are your views on regulatory changes and the potential for accessing marijuana plants for broader therapeutic development?
Regulatory changes could validate and expand medical applications by allowing access to the marijuana plant for further development, but this must be paired with rigorous safety, quality controls, and standardized manufacturing practices to protect patients.
Kazmira Therapeutics and the Future of CBD Medicine
Q: Why is compounding important in the CBD/medical cannabis space, and what formats are being developed to standardize dosing?
Compounding ensures standardized doses for prescription use, enabling physicians to monitor symptom changes quantitatively. Formats like oral sublingual products and dispersible trokes are being developed to provide consistent, measurable dosages for patients.
Kazmira Therapeutics and the Future of CBD Medicine
Q: Can you explain how Kazmira's purification approach differs from typical extraction methods in terms of purity and scalability?
Our approach focuses on purification and isolation, removing THC and other cannabinoids with the same molecular weight as CBD to achieve a true CBD isolate with high purity, which allows consistent dosing and scalable manufacturing unlike blunt-force extraction that often leaves impurities and lower yields.
Beyond the Ban: David Spang’s Mission to Regulate and Rescue South Carolina’s Hemp Industry
Q: Have you been able to operate in other states and what does federal action mean for SC?
He notes SC remains the focal point, with some neighboring states more regulated; federal level regulation could help, but state-level implementation is crucial for local growers and retailers.
Beyond the Ban: David Spang’s Mission to Regulate and Rescue South Carolina’s Hemp Industry
Q: David, you're coming out of debates about these bills—what can you tell us on the ground?
He outlines the current fight between a full ban and a five-milligram beverage bill, the 21+ age verification compromise, and the push for broader regulation to protect consumers and small businesses.
