Darwin Manila: Exploring Solutions For Cannabis Industry Standards And Compliance In 2023

Darwin Manila, Chief Scientific Officer for Final Bill Corporation and regular attendee of NCIA's cannabis industry, joined the Cannabis Radio show to discuss the cannabis industry's take on hemp and the upcoming 2023 Noco Hemp Expo. Manila is set to speak twice at the event, once on day one to discuss the cannabis industry's perspective on hemp, and again on day three to provide an update on hemp for the year 2023. Manila discussed the current implementation of the FDA Hemp Bill and the need for further guidance from the FDA. He also previewed his upcoming talks on the same topics and expressed his excitement to be a part of the expo. The conversation is about two talks the speaker is having on standards and minor novel and synthetic cannabinoids. Jorge highlights the fact that cannabinoids have made hemp investable and people are trying to ride that wave. They discuss the difference between THC from marijuana and hemp and CBD from marijuana and hemp. Jorge also talks about the regulations on marijuana versus hemp, and advocates for a different context when talking about marijuana and hemp. They advocate for a whole-plant approach rather than blurring the lines between marijuana and hemp.
