Lift & Co. started as a magazine. Here’s what we can learn from them:
2015 – Launched as an online magazine
2016 – Launched the LIFT Expo
2017 – Launched reviews and recommendations website
2018 – Launched CannSell – official training and certification of bud tenders
2019 – Launched Cohesion – consumer/insights platform
Every year they’ve added to their offering in a way that makes sense for their audience (cannabis users). I’ve always said publishers already have the content – they just need to find ways to continually serve their audience. Any business can look at this model and start to think about ways in which to innovate their brand.
Great job Lift & Co. and great event this morning. Good Luck with Cohesion.

“In 2017, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) reported that a staggering 17.3 million adults, or 7.1% of all American adults had at least one major depressive episode in that year. Of that number, 65% of those folks received support from a health professional, medication or both. Surprisingly, a whopping 35% had no treatment whatsoever.

According to a 2017 study of 2,774 individuals who had taken #cannabis in the previous 90 days, 12.7% of respondents stated they were consuming cannabis as a substitute for #antidepressants.

An earlier survey of 1,429 respondents reported that 50% of cannabis users stated they were consuming cannabis to address #depression.”

Hundreds of cases of lung illness linked to illegal cannabis vape cartridges are being reported today. I reported this potential problem in June. I suspect there is a link to myclobutanil, a fungicide which, when heated, breaks down into hydrogen cyanide. Spread the word. #cannabis #contamination #lunghealth

Teaser: 1,150 tests for all common food pathogens processed in <20 mins by one PCR technician? >6,000 tests daily from a small bench top workstation? That’s the power of multiplex qPCR combined with emerging low-cost & low-footprint robotic pipetting systems capable of working in 96 & 384 well formats.

Over 5 years ago, we set out to design the most sophisticated and powerful high-throughput pathogen detection system in the world, capable of bringing industrial-level efficiency into food Pathogen Testing. True to that objective, we chose a qPCR reaction volume capable of being run in both 96 & 384-well format.

One of the many ways we’re working to bring food safety into the 21st Century.

Heavy Metal Contaminants in Cannabis Vape Cartridges: Valid Concern or Blowing Smoke? 💨

Excited to share some data from one of my weekend projects I’ve been working on with some collaborators in the LA area.

After a plethora of articles sounding the heavy metals alarm for many vape cartridges on the market our group was interested in seeing some data on the matter – something that all of these articles lacked.

Specifically, we are interested in understanding how much of these heavy metals leach from contaminated hardware into the resulting extract and if they are leaching how much of these metals are ending up in the end users lungs?
