SXSW 2019
Re-imagining Cannabis with Lab-Verified Data
Description:
With thousands of cannabis strains and products, consumers are challenged with choosing for their individual needs. Dispensaries and businesses are challenged with organizing and recommending products. Doing this effectively requires accurate laboratory measurements of THC, CBD, and terpene profiles. However, not all lab data is trustworthy.
Leafly is partnering with reliable labs to evolve the strains classification system through sophisticated cannabis research and testing, helping consumers and businesses refine sale and consumption. A complex purchasing experience is simplified for consumers, retailers and producer-processors can effectively curate product lines, and researchers, regulators, and other industry professionals can apply accurate data science to the cannabis space.
