Liner notes

This February 14, 2020 episode of The Adam Dunn Show, titled the "Valentine's Day Special," is a high-energy, 3.5-hour broadcast that marks a transition to a new studio space at Cultivator Synergy. Despite some early "dongle issues," the show delivers a massive lineup of industry experts including Danny Danko, Elise McDonald, Dr. Mark Scialdone, and Chris Cullinan from Pulse Labs. The episode is packed with "outlaw science," focusing on the chemistry of cannabis beverages, the reality of dosing edibles, and a fascinating deep dive into "Electroculture"-the theory of using electricity to stimulate plant growth and destroy viruses. It also features a historic look back at the 1993 Amsterdam Cannabis Cup and the evolution of the industry over "150 cannabis years." Happy Valentine's Day from the new studio! We dive into the science of cannabis beverages and why aluminum can liners might be "sucking the buzz" out of your drinks. Dr. Mark Scialdone breaks down emulsification chemistry, while authors Danny Danko and Elise McDonald join us to discuss the evolution of edible dosing, from the "Brownie Mary" days to modern microdosing. Then, we get weird with "Electroculture"-discussing how milliamps and Tesla coils could be the future of virus-free breeding and pest control. Plus, Chris from Pulse Labs explains how data monitoring saved Adam’s garden.
