The work we are doing in the Cannabis and Epilepsy space caught the attention of VICE and the NFL. We are featured in the second episode of "Chasing Strains". We sequenced Kyle Turleys genome and his strains to better understand the complexity of CTE genetic predisposition, drug drug interactions and the chemotype/genotype connection on his strains. Turns out he responds well to strains rich in Terpinolene. Kyle is open about the NFL giving him CTE. A good preview to this is documented in the movie US of Football.
