DaySavers and the Cannabis Research Coalition will soon select participants for their groundbreaking study, “The Science of Smokeability” (SOS).
As recruitment for this unique research opportunity comes to a close, those involved in the study are preparing to choose and announce the final participants “in the coming days”. Those chosen will be informed via e-mail.
The study will explore how various cultivation and processing techniques impact the quality and experience of smoking cannabis, addressing a significant gap in existing research. In June, DaySavers announced, “This 2+ year study will explore how cultivation and processing metrics impact the smoking experience, filling a critical gap in cannabis research.”
For the study, 200 random participants will receive two free pre-rolls and be paid to consume the joints and complete a survey comparing the two pre-rolls. The data collected “will change the way cannabis is grown and how pre-rolls are made for the rest of time,” says DaySavers, noting that “this is your chance to be part of history!”
A press release from DaySavers highlighted the study’s significance: “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.”
With recruitment wrapping up, participants will soon be notified if they’ve been selected to contribute to this historic study.
