Trichome Insitiute: Interpening Course

I can’t even begin to describe how informative and educational the trichome institute interpening course was! Not only did they host an all-day class in KCMO, but they made it fun and engaging!

Watching Chef Brandon Allen and Max Montrose share their passion for cannabis totally expanded my already positive outlook on this plant. They focused on history of marijuana, terpenes, common misconceptions, and the lack of legitimate quality control in the cannabis industry, among other things.

So, here’s my takeaway from the course (that I passed with flying colors)

  1. Strain Names are bogus & in no way accurately describe how a specific plant will effect you.
  2. You can learn more about your medicine based on how it looks (inflorescence) and smells (terpenes).
  3. Lab Testing doesn’t test for everything that could happen to the plant. (Spider Mites, Mold, Mildew)
  4. “OG” doesn’t stand for “ocean grown”, but actually “original gangsters” (original growers who put their necks out growing cannabis during prohibition)
  5. The proper way to identify species of cannabis is via the shape of the leaves (broad leaf/narrow leaf)
  6. All cannabis in the market is technically a hybrid plant
  7. “The Entourage Effect”
  8. Extreme or Bright Purple/Blue Cannabis coloring is done with DYE
  9. Our Olfactory System is the bees knees.
  10. Coughing ≠ better high (In fact, it is indicative in consumption of poor quality cannabis)
Max signed my Interpening book
(Fangirl’ing so hard)

The test for certification as a level one interpener was intense, but I really feel like it challenged me in a good way. I’m even more confident with my knowledge of Cannabis now, and I’m hyper-focused on learning as much as I can.

To anyone reading and thinking “hey I wanna learn more about cannabis” or “man this Dani chick is super rad, I should subscribe to her blog” — DO IT!!

I’ll provide a few links below (no, I’m not getting paid to promote, I truly 100% stand behind what they’re doing).

Cannabis Industry Showcase

I had the pleasure of attending the Cannabis Industry Showcase in Kansas City this weekend. The schedule was packed full of engaging speakers and a plethora of #CannabisIndustry information; From Compliance to Hiring, when/how to advertise and to find your place in this fast-growing industry as both an employee and employer.

I spent a fair amount of time listening to some of the industry’s experts recall the roadblocks they dealt with, as well as how they managed to move past those roadblocks and persevere. Speakers like Max from The Trichome Institute made a point of snuffing out many of the misconceptions and misinformation regarding cannabis, as well as providing loads of factual, scientific evidence.

Wy Livingston shared a compelling and informative speech “You don’t have to get high to see green”, which focused on the many ways to monetize your passion for cannabis without having to consume it in traditional methods.

The Expo housed many companies and businesses that have found their niche in the Cannabis industry. A group close to my heart MoCannTrade, had a wonderful booth with a ton of great canna-gear. There were booths from local security like CST Solutions, to many other experts who specialize in Cannabis. I saw companies like Simplifya who focus on Compliance (an often tricky aspect of this industry), and New Growth Insurance, an insurance group that specializes in Cannabis, Hemp, & CBD only insurances.

Additionally, a local Mechanical Engineering/Contracting & HVAC “Design Mechanical” had a booth dedicated to designing and installing Cultivation Facilities, focusing on increasing yield and efficiency while providing the highest quality design work for KC’s Cannabis Companies/Businesses.

Day 2, I found myself bouncing around The Oliver Building, listening to various informative discussions on Cannabis. My favorite speech of the day was from Sarara Corva, “Consumption and Over-Consumption” — Sarara provided a lot of beneficial information regarding cannabis consumption and generously offered samples of UnDoo “the greened out antidote”

Overall, the Cannabis Industry Showcase was educational and engaging. I’m eagerly awaiting the official licensing for many hopeful local Missouri cannabis companies, as well as the end to marijuana prohibition in the USA.

I sincerely appreciate the experience I had this weekend and cannot wait to see what KCMO shows us in the coming months/years. Thanks for reading & stay tuned for more!
