Finding 'releaf': put data in your pipe and smoke it

Finding the right cannabis product can be a daunting task for anyone, let alone a new medical patient without any guidance.

When you walk into a hardware store, pharmacy, or even a liquor store, if you don't know exactly what product will meet your needs there's someone educated enough to point you to the right product and the data to back up that recommendation, says Tyler Dautrich, COO of Releaf.

"That's not really available in the cannabis industry," he explained on the Cannabis Enigma podcast. "That's where we're trying to fill that need and plug that gap and help individuals inform their purchase decision."

The Releaf app allows users to journal and track what cannabis products they are using and what effects they have in order to build an evidence-based treatment regime.

Anonymized data also helps scientists better understand the cannabis plant and what products and chemical profiles are most effective for treating different conditions and symptoms.

Produced by Elana Goldberg and Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man. Edited and mixed by Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man. Music by Desca. The Cannabis Enigma podcast is a co-production of The Cannigma and Americans for Safe Access.
