Welcome to the Cannabis

and Science Podcast. I'm your host, Tad Hussey of Kiss Organics.

This is the podcast where we discuss the cutting edge of growing from a science-based perspective

and drawn top experts from around the industry to share their wisdom and knowledge.

My guest this week is Dr. Eleanor Coons.

Eleanor is a trained herbalist and geneticist bridging the gap between traditional

herbalism and modern science. She is the CEO and co-founder of Leafworks, a botanical

verification company using genetics to improve medicinal quality, sustainability, and transparency

in the supply chain. She is also co-founder of Candor, the People's Herbarium. the first herbarium committed to documenting and preserving cannabis cultivars and varietals, along with the collective knowledge gained through community engagement.
