14 APR 2021 · On this week’s episode of The Budding Report, we are joined by Lisa Tollner & Ari Raptis. The guests join our hosts Charles Horton, Melissa Nasits, Christian Shaw, MD, PhD, and Chris Perri as we discuss Case Report: Cannabidiol in the Management of Acute Opioid Withdrawal.
Lisa Tollner, Sensi Signature Products Co-Founder and CMO • 30+ years in global branding and new product development • Fortune 500 marketing expertise • Strategy, brand development, and marketing for healthcare, medical devices, and pharmaceutical products • Focus on start-ups and go-to-market strategy Sensi Signature Products History Lisa co-founded Sensi with her husband in 2012. They began their journey into the world of cannabis in an effort to help her mother with debilitating pain from 35 years as a CCU/ICU nurse. Through 2 years of research, experimentation, and networking with early cannabis pioneers, they realized the incredible potential cannabis had to help people suffering from a range of conditions, and as an alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals. The research convinced them to develop a product, Sensi Chews, which now encompasses a family of 9 cannabis infused edibles. Using their backgrounds in high tech manufacturing and engineering, as well as brand strategy, they launched in Northern California collectives in 2013. Sensi was the first edible to voluntarily lab test for potency and purity, and provide accurate dosing. In 2016 Sensi launched Sensi Caps CBD-Rich Soft gels, and in 2020 they launched the first healthy vegan, low-sugar, Omega 3infused Sensi Gummies. Today, Sensi Signature Products are in 300collectives across the State and is considered one of the top edible brands. Advancing Cannabis Research Believing in the value of research Lisa began different research channels. In February 2017, they launched a Stanford approved study conducted by IROC(Institute for Research of Cannabis) that tracked1400 patients to better understand how cannabis effects their quality of life and the conditions they are hoping to treat. Sensi is continually gathering consumer insights for insomnia and pain using online studies delivered through their website (https://sensichew.typeform.com/to/Izl2SJ)and work with PhDs to analyze the data to provide meaningful insights into consumer attitudes and usage. Sensi Signature Products is the only edible manufacturer dedicated to ongoing cannabis and edibles research. Customer Education and Accessibility, She is a strong believer in the importance of education and has created in-depth case studies that address specific health conditions and how cannabis can help. Medical experts, reports, and studies are combined to give consumers valuable information on the effects of cannabis. No other edible company produces case studies of this quality and selection. Others just offer education on general edible use. Each Sensi Chew includes an insert with detailed usage instructions to ensure that new users have a smooth and safe experience. No other edible brand provides comprehensive instructions. Lisa had a vision that cannabis companies should act like any other company and be accessible to their consumers. She implemented a customer support hot line so staff can speak directly with consumers and learn first-hand what they are experiencing and provide guidance. In addition, Sensi uses this direct customer interaction to educate them on Sensi’s products, but also general cannabis questions and topics. Sensi is one of the few edible companies to provide a Support Call Center for consumers.
A cannabis business entrepreneur who was named a Top 40 Under 40 Rising Star in the industry by Marijuana Venture, Ari Raptis’s professional background in logistics and supply chain management created the foundation for Talaria Transportation.

31 MAR 2021 · On this week’s episode of The Budding Report, we are joined by Daniel Hayden.
The guests join our hosts Charles Horton, Melissa Nasits, Christian Shaw, MD, PhD, and Chris Perri as we discuss Women Increasingly Turn to CBD, With or Without Doc's Blessing.
Daniel Maida Hayden, Ph.D. received his B.S. in Biotechnology from Rochester Institute of Technology and his Ph.D. in Plant Molecular Physiology from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. His dissertation focused on the molecular mechanisms of tropical plant senescence and aging.
For the past 10 years, Dr. Hayden has worked exclusively on Cannabis oleoresin extractions, specifically involving cured resin. He invented High Terpene Full Spectrum Extracts, or “HTFSE”, in 2016. Dr. Hayden developed the extraction technique that led to the creation of HTFSE: “Cosolvent Technique.” The technique uses CO2 as a Cosolvent-like-buffer to protect the oleoresin during hydrocarbon extraction, resulting in a wonderful experience of flavor and effervescence in the final product.
One hundred percent of all the products are derived from CURED RESIN
and cannot be replicated or reproduced with living resins. The Cosolvent technique is capable of high- throughput at 100s of pounds processed a day, but also small-batch. As little as 1 lb. of cured trim is capable of generating profitable cured cannabis retail products that truly resemble the unique identities of the cultivators and strains from which they are derived.
Dr. Hayden has worked in academic, government, and private laboratories as a molecular engineer specializing in merging biology with technology to study ongoing molecular and metabolic processes that lead to phenotypic results. These pursuits mostly focused on plant secondary metabolism, plant tissue culture and transformation, and transcriptome analysis of developing oilseeds and endosperms. He possesses declared competency by fire code officials and is a leading subject matter expert on plant biochemistry involving the composition and creation of secondary metabolites in the trichomes of cannabis plants.
Dr. Hayden’s core expertise involves environmental health and safety, clinical lab experience, solvent handling, and process management which ensure the ultimate safety of his employees and all legal and compliant retail products manufactured by Extractioneering.
