High On Healthy

Today on High On Healthy Audrey is joined by Ryan Treacy, the founder and chief executive officer of C4 Laboratories. Ryan has dedicated his life to serving as a patient advocate and a perpetual student of cannabis science. After 15 years in executive management for two national restaurant chains, he decided to pursue his passion for cannabis and start C4 Laboratories to empower people with knowledge that helps them make more informed decisions. Since then, C4 has not only become one of the largest, most trusted testing facilities in Arizona, but also been at the forefront of cannabis research, education, and legislation. Under Ryan’s guidance, C4 led two research collaborations with major academic institutions and was one of the first cannabis laboratories in the country to have their findings published in a major peer-reviewed publication. Ryan is also a member of the Association of Commercial Cannabis Labs (ACCL), and is actively involved in Arizona legislation to implement mandatory testing and industry standards for label claims on all cannabis products. They speak about how it’s all too common to see testing labs alter their results or strategically pick and choose the data they share. How C4's patients are their priority, so they believe honesty is the best policy about the testing. Also why they believe data is only useful if you can understand and use it.

Today on High On Healthy Bethany is joined by Peggy Noonan, founder of Copia Infusions and Concentrates. Peggy knows a thing or two about marijuana. She was a drug runner between Mexico and the U.S., before earning her living as a dealer in Arizona. Both stints ended badly, with Noonan serving time in a Mexican jail and slapped with federal probation in Arizona. All that feels like ancient history, says Noonan, who’s among the thousands of “ganjapreneurs” in the burgeoning market for edible marijuana products. Noonan, who grew up in an affluent family on Central Park West in Manhattan, began smuggling marijuana into the U.S. from Mexico after graduating from Arizona State University in the late ’60s. The weed was supplied by “farmers coming down the mountains on donkeys with bales. They dive deep into her upbringing in the cannabis industry and how she went from a drug runner to a "ganjapreneur".
