## Resource

On this episode of Cannabis Tech Talks , host Mary Jane Gibson sits down with Darwin Millard, Technical Director at Cannabis Safety and Quality (CSQ), for a sharp, science-forward conversation on what really defines quality in modern cannabis. With nearly two decades in extraction, Millard breaks down live resin vs. live rosin vs. bubble hash, explains why terpene profiles matter more than THC chasing, and shares how ASTM D37 standards are shaping safer, cleaner cannabis from extraction to consumption. Recorded on the MJBizCon show floor and sponsored by SHOPLINE, in association with the International Cannabis Business Conference (ICBC), this episode is a must-listen for operators, technologists, and consumers who care about what’s actually in their products. 🎧 Listen now and rethink what “quality” really means in cannabis.
