Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1

St. Lawrence College and Seven Leaf Med., have entered into a research partnership to investigate the properties of the production by-products in the cannabis industry to determine if there are additional high-value products that can be extracted from the organic waste. Since legalization in 2018, Cannabis production and cultivation has increased immensely, and maximizing the utility of this new bio-product has been important for growers to become profitable. By establishing additional high-value commercial products from the waste by-product of cannabis, cannabis producers can greatly increase profitability with little effort, while reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill or processing. Seven Leaf with the assistance of the research team at the Cornwall campus of St. Lawrence College will be evaluating a new and novel waste treatment process to determine if the waste by-product can be employed as an additional end product with sufficient Cannabidiol (CBD) / Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) to develop a new product market and drive additional sales.
