On this episode, Tom is having a chat with Chris Tasker, the founder of Global Cannabinoid Solutions - a company providing scientific support and solutions for businesses in the cannabis industry (or wanting to enter it). Many large companies will have a finance department, a marketing department and a law department. However, most will not have a science department, and Chris feels this is a big mistake, especially in the cannabis industry.
As science is playing an ever-increasing role in all industries, Chris saw the need to provide businesses in the cannabis industry, particularly in Europe, with scientific solutions. That is why he created Global Cannabinoid Solutions to provide cannabis businesses with scientific tools and services and push the cannabis conversation forward through education and communication.
Over the last few years, Chris has also been working closely with Social Cannabis Clubs around the UK, helping them create constructive conversations with UK law enforcement by bringing academic and scientific reasoning to the table. Tom and Chris discuss a wide range of topics such as how Global Cannabinoid Solutions grew out of an idea, what different services and courses they provide, what the UK needs to do to help patients medicating with cannabis, and how to push the industry in the UK forward.
Other topics discussed:
