DaySavers and the Cannabis Research Coalition are continuing their recruitment for participants in a groundbreaking study titled “The Science of Smokeability” (SOS), but the deadline is nearing.
The study seeks to examine how different cultivation and processing techniques influence the quality and experience of smoking cannabis, aiming to fill a crucial gap in existing research.
DaySavers announced on their website in June, “This 2+ year study will be exploring how cultivation and processing metrics impact the smoking experience, filling a critical gap in cannabis research. 200 random participants will be shipped 2 free pre-rolls and be paid $4.20 to smoke those joints and fill out a survey comparing the 2 pre-rolls. The data collected in this study will change the way cannabis is grown and how pre-rolls are made for the rest of time – this is your chance to be part of history!”
The enrollment period for the study ends on Wednesday, July 31.
A press release from DaySavers said that “No study to date has ever evaluated how cultivation practices or post-harvest processing impact the smokeability of the final product. The SOS study promises to contribute significantly to the evolution of the cannabis industry by providing actionable insights that link cultivation and manufacturing practices to consumer experiences. This research not only has the potential to improve product quality and consistency but also promote sustainability, profitability, and a deeper scientific understanding of cannabis as a medicinal and recreational product.”
Harrison Bard, CEO and Co-Founder of DaySavers and Custom Cones USA, stated, “Through this research, we will be shedding light on some major unknowns in the cannabis industry. This type of research exists and has been proven to be extremely important in the tobacco industry, so we are excited to pave the way for a safer and more enjoyable future for the cannabis industry where quality and standards are at the forefront of cannabis cultivation and pre-roll product development.”
Allison Justice, Ph.D., founder of the Cannabis Research Coalition, emphasized the study’s broader implications: “This partnership highlights the pivotal importance of industry-wide collaboration and underscores the significance of research initiatives for shaping the future of the cannabis sector. This cross-departmental research collaboration extends beyond mere acquisition of sustainable and profitable cultivation and post-harvest metrics; we are actively establishing the benchmarks for ensuring the highest standards in producing flower intended for combustion.”
