Evaluating Endotoxin Levels on Cannabis Flower with Kevin McKernan

Kevin McKernan is the Chief Scientific Officer and Founder of Medicinal Genomics. Kevin has pioneered the genomics of cannabis and hemp to build a stronger scientific environment for the study of cannabis based therapeutics and blockchain technologies for tracking and verifying cannabis genetics.



At CannMed 24 he will present “Understanding the Prevalence and Risks Associated with Endotoxins on Cannabis Flower”, which will include novel research he did to measure the level of endotoxins in store-bought cannabis flower. Our conversation covers:




What inspired Kevin to look into endotoxin levels on cannabis



Which microbes produce endotoxins



How endotoxins affect humans



Whether remediation techniques mask endotoxin risks



and more
