RadSource Technologies | Utah in the Weeds #74

Episode 74 of Utah in the Weeds features Dr. Justin Czerniawski and Wesley Spridgeon of RadSource Technologies, a company that can help cannabis growers decontaminate their products prior to testing. Czerniawksi and host Tim Pickett started with a discussion about the types of contamination that can affect a cannabis grow operation. Unfortunately, an environment built for growing healthy cannabis plants is also conducive to growing mold and other microbial organisms. [03:10] RadSource Technologies has developed x-ray systems that can be used in a variety of fields, from decontaminating donated blood to mass-sterilizing insects like mosquitoes. [05:00] They recently started applying their patented x-ray technology in the Medical Cannabis field. The technology is tuned to target the DNA of microbes, effectively causing those microbes to self-destruct, while leaving cannabinoids and the appearance of the cannabis flower intact. Interestingly, the cannabis can be decontaminated this way after it's been placed in its retail packaging, and there is no need to unseal and reseal the product for processing. [10:10] Some cannabis consumers have raised concerns about using cannabis with dead microbes still attached to the flower. Cziernawski points out that the same technology is used to decontaminate food and donated blood "with high levels of success." [15:38] RadSource Technologies is based in Georgia, but Wesley Spridgeon, an account executive for the company, is a Utah resident. Spridgeon, who is also a Medical Cannabis patient, talked with Tim and Dr. Cziernawski about the current state of cannabis decontamination and testing in Utah. [21:00] Spridgeon and Dr. Cziernawski talked about the labeling requirements for irradiated products and the common misconceptions about gamma radiation. [36:16] Tim and Dr. Cziernawski talked about the ways cannabis irradiation might eventually become a possibility for home growers. [43:44] We wrapped up this episode with a discussion about Spridgeon's favorite Medical Cannabis strain, the general availability of Medical Cannabis in Utah, and how to get a hold of our guests.
