Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Cognitive Trade-Offs of Cannabis and ADHD with Carrie Cuttler, PhD
Q: How was the study designed to compare different groups and conditions?
The study recruited 104 adults and divided them into four groups based on ADHD diagnosis and cannabis use, then tested them in sober and acutely intoxicated sessions using real-world cannabis in their own environments to assess both chronic and acute effects, with two sessions about a week apart to control for practice effects.
The Cognitive Trade-Offs of Cannabis and ADHD with Carrie Cuttler, PhD
Q: Why do we think people with ADHD are more likely to use cannabis and what benefits do they report?
People with ADHD report using cannabis to manage symptoms like impulsivity, hyperactivity, restlessness, and mood, with some studies showing perceived benefits during intoxication such as reduced impulsivity and irritability, though objective data show mixed or limited cognitive improvements and a risk of negative effects on other domains.
Identifying the Skunk Genes in Cannabis with Manny Maminakis
Q: Can you explain what the volatile sulfur compounds are and why you chose to study them?
VSCs are sulfur-containing molecules in cannabis that give a skunky, garlicky odor; studying them helps identify the underlying genes and enables breeders to modulate these traits for medicinal or recreational use.
Breeding for Better Solventless Extraction with Alisha Holloway, PhD
Q: How does marker-assisted selection change day-to-day breeding and how does it compare to traditional methods?
Marker-assisted selection amplifies the breeding footprint by allowing us to screen thousands of seedlings early, selecting those with the favorable markers to predict desired traits, which speeds up the process and reduces the need to grow everything to maturity while still achieving a broad genetic base.
Breeding for Better Solventless Extraction with Alisha Holloway, PhD
Q: So maybe a good place to start, or maybe people who aren't familiar with that term. Can you explain what solventless extraction is and why is the market seem to be moving in that direction?
Solventless extraction uses mechanical means like ice water agitation or heat and pressure to separate trichomes from plant material, preserving cannabinoids, terpenes, and other metabolites without chemical solvents, resulting in a full-spectrum product that better represents the plant's chemistry. The market is favoring this approach for maintaining natural profiles and reducing solvent-related concerns.
