E170 - Terpenes Explained: MS Patient Turns Cannabis Science into Cream of the Crop Therapeutics - Yvette Webb
What happens when a medical cannabis patient turns her healing journey into a cannabis science business? Trevor and Kirk talk with Yvette Webb, a Respiratory Therapist whose battle with Multiple Sclerosis, chronic pain, and insomnia led her to explore cannabis beyond THC. Her research into terpenes, cannabinoid delivery, and transdermal cannabis topicals ultimately inspired the creation of Cream of the Crop Therapeutics. From terpene science and topical cannabis formulations to the challenges of Canada’s medical cannabis system, this episode explores how patient innovation and plant chemistry intersect in modern cannabis medicine. Listen now to discover how terpenes, cannabinoids, and real-world patient experiences are reshaping cannabis therapeutics.

E167-1 - Is Irradiated Cannabis Safe? New Research Reveals the Truth with Saji George & Mamta Rani
Does irradiated cannabis still contain mold spores? In this deep-dive episode, Trevor and Kirk explore the science behind cannabis irradiation, fungal contamination, and the hidden risks of mycotoxins. Dr. Saji George and Mamta Rani from McGill University break down how gamma irradiation is used to sterilize cannabis—and why even this industry-standard sterilization may not eliminate all harmful fungal spores or toxins. They reveal that while irradiation significantly reduces fungal contamination, advanced testing still detected viable spores and residual mycotoxins in some cannabis legal products. For immunocompromised patients, even minimal exposure to spores or toxins can matter. We explore testing gaps, regulatory limits, workplace risks, and new biocontrol solutions to prevent contamination at the source. Listen now to understand how cannabis irradiation works — and where the cracks in the system may be.

E164 - From the Rif Mountains to Medicine: How Morocco Is Legalizing Medical Cannabis with Dr. Redoaune Rabii
What does medical cannabis look like when a King gets involved? Morocco, a country historically known for exporting outstanding Hashish, must import medicinal cannabis from aboard because its local crop doesn't meet the quality standards of Europe. The King of Morocco wants to bring Moroccan cannabis up to Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) so it can be used locally and be exported. Trevor and Kirk speak with Moroccan cannabis insider Dr. Redouane Rabii about Morocco’s push into medical cannabis. From GACP standards and farmer training to cancer pain management and international exports, we explore how medicine, policy, and culture collide in one of the world’s most famous cannabis regions. Dr. Rabii, a professor, an MD PhD, and a practicing Uro-Andrologist shares frontline clinical experience using cannabis for pain and cancer care and why Morocco’s medical system should follow Israel to succeed. Dr. Rabii has traveled the world and lends the King his expertise to help farmers, pharmaceutical companies, and laboratories fulfill the King's medical cannabis ambitions. Listen now to explore the future of medical cannabis in Morocco.
