Now, cannabis is cultivated to increase yield and marijuana content. No research has ever examined the impact of agriculture practices or post-harvest running on the smokeability of the finished product. By revealing practical insights that connection production and manufacturing practices to consumer experiences, the SOS study hopes to significantly influence the cannabis industry’s development. This study not only has the potential to improve product quality and consistency, but also promote conservation, success, and a deeper academic knowledge of cannabis as a therapeutic and fun product.
The study is integrating consumer research about smoking experience with various variables into controlled laboratory data from smoking experiments over the course of two years. The variables that will be studied include variations in mineral content, nutritional content ( flushing ), nitrosamines ( potential carcinogens ), moisture content, and the overall effect on ash color, smoke composition, and smoke quality.
In order to gather qualitative feedback, pre-rolls will be distributed to participants in particular study phases. DaySavers will be paying$ 4.20 to 200 randomly selected individuals, who will receive 2 free pre- rolls and be asked to fill out a qualitative survey comparing the 2 joints. Those interested in smoking pre-rolls for science and receiving money for their participation can sign up here. Individuals who were n’t chosen from among the 200 randomly chosen participants can still take part in the study through various surveys throughout the study.
Harrison Bard, CEO and Co- Founder of DaySavers and Custom Cones USA, says,” Through this research, we will be shedding light on some major unknowns in the cannabis industry. We are excited to help the cannabis industry have a safer and more enjoyable future where quality and standards are at the forefront of cannabis cultivation and pre-roll product development because this kind of research exists and has been demonstrated to be extremely important in the tobacco industry.
The Cannabis Research Coalition ( CRC ), an academic cultivation research group that is developing advanced cultivation techniques to increase the yield and quality of medicinal cannabis, and The Network of Applied Pharmacognosy ( NPP ), a nonprofit organization that focuses on providing high-quality cannabis materials and monitoring the user experience, are the subjects of the study’s conduct. In 2021, Dr. Allison Justice and Dr. Markus Roggen, two of the study’s top researchers, collaborated to explore the hypotheses that explain the color change in cannabis smoking, generating a lot of discussion and interest. The SOS study has also partnered with Controlled Chemistry, experts in cannabis smoke and inhalation studies for cannabis, leveraging cutting- edge technologies and methodologies.
This collaboration highlights the crucial role of industry-wide collaboration and highlights the significance of research initiatives in shaping the cannabis industry’s future. We are actively setting the benchmarks for ensuring the highest standards in producing flower intended for combustion, according to Allison Justice, PhD, founder of the Cannabis Research Coalition. This cross-departmental research collaboration goes beyond just collecting sustainable and profitable cultivation and post-harvest metrics.
The first phase of the findings is anticipated to be released in the upcoming months and will provide an overview of how to improve cultivation metrics to save time, money, and resources while improving product quality. The first phase aims to improve sustainable farming practices so growers can profit more from their investment. Additionally, many states are hesitant to permit smoking marijuana because of doubts about the substances that are present in the smoke. The SOS study’s findings will be made available to ASTM Cannabis, a company that develops internationally recognized industry standards, and will serve as a reliable foundation for cannabis policymaking.

DaySavers is a smoking-related product line produced by Custom Cones USA, the world’s most reputable and respected manufacturer of pre-rolled cones. Working with the SOS, DaySavers and Custom Cones USA collaborated to create novel advances in pre-roll production standards, consistency, and quality.
For the study, Custom Cones USA will also be conducting an experiment that will examine infused pre-rolls, comparing various infusion methods, determining which ones burn the hottest and which convey the most cannabinoids and terpenes, and experimenting with which ones will be conducted. To support the evolution of cannabis research, the SOS study’s sponsorship proceeds will be reinvested into the non-profit Network of Applied Pharmacognosy and The Cannabis Research Coalition.

About The Study on Smokeability’s Science
The Science of Smokeability ( SOS ) study is a pioneering 2+ year research project led by Dr. Allison Justice, Dr. Miyabe Shields, Dr. Riley Kirk, Dr. Markus Roggen, and Ashley Manning. This study addresses a crucial gap in cannabis research by looking at how cultivation and processing metrics affect the smoking experience. Unlike past studies focused on yield and cannabinoid content, SOS evaluates the effects of cultivation and post- harvest processing on smokeability, aiming to enhance product quality, sustainability, and consumer satisfaction. The study aims to establish objective standards of quality by integrating qualitative surveys with quantitative analysis to enhance the potency of cannabis and guarantee consistent quality for consumers. Engaging regular cannabis consumers as experts, the study promotes open dialogue through social media, podcasts, and traditional media, connecting the community with the research process.
