The BudGenius Marijuana Testing Philosophy

Marijuana comes in many different flavors

Each strain has a unique genetic potential. The grower's expertise determines how close to the plant comes to reaching that potential. Every harvest is often slightly different due to subtle changes in the environment

There are 100+ chemicals It's not just about THC

Marijuana is a mix of many different compounds. Most of them fall into three categories: cannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavanoids. Each of these compounds can significantly modify the therapeutic benefits of the plant. There are hundreds of different chemical combinations each producing a different effect. Some of these effects and interactions still have yet to be discovered!

It could take decades to figure all this out

Traditional medical research is often performed by isolating unknown compounds and then figuring out what their individual effects are. However many of the compounds in marijuana work best when they *interact* with each other. Considering the multitude of compounds within marijuana, this presents a very complex puzzle that could take decades to unravel by following a traditional research path.

Science meets Social Networking!

By combining these two unlikely bedfellows we begin to break down the walls of previous limitations!

Science provides BudGenius™ two things:
An exact chemical breakdown of what's inside each marijuana strain cultivated by each grower.
Specific scientific trial data on how patients reacted to general marijuana.

Social networking provides BudGenius™ two things:
Access to a LOT of medical marijuana patients!
General experiences on how patients react to specific marijuana.

Next we added some brainiac engineers that we knew of that were hiding out in a distant block of old soviet Russia. We commissioned them to build an intelligent "brain" to analyze emerging patterns in all of the above.

(Ok, they're not really Russians. They are from Ukraine... and they've been a great part of our staff for many years. It just sounds more "James Bond" to tell the story the other way.)

The result is BudGenius™ - an artificially intelligent "brain" that learns more about marijuana every day.

Each time a new scientific trial is released about medical marijuana, BudGenius™ gets smarter. Each time a patient submits a marijuana review, BudGenius™ gets smarter. Thanks to you, we've developed a unique medical marijuana rating system that can calculate more efficient strains for pain relief, sleep aids, and other effects. With your continued help, in the next year we plan to be calculating which strains are more efficient at treating critical illnesses such as cancer, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's.

Medical marijuana is just the beginning. We're already researching the benefits of harnessing the power of home diagnostic machines, and then combining this with cloud-based applications connected to BudGenius™ servers. Could BudGenius™ evolve to become the Google of the human body by discovering digital "wellness patterns" in everything from the food we eat, to the environments we live in? In time, yes, we believe so.

Marijuana Testing and Profiling

Bud Genius operates a fully equipped cannabis testing laboratory in California, and provides trusted services to growers, dispensaries and collectives throughout the state. Plans are in in the works to open a second facility in Northern California to handle the influx of business from the region, as well as new labs in Colorado, Washington and other states as they come online with legal cannabis programs.

One of the key differentiators between Bud Genius and all other labs, is that we not only test marijuana for key components, including THC, CBD, pesticides and mold, but we also collect subjective data on each sample with input from patients and users, to build a comprehensive profile on each strain.

This collection of reviews, input and analysis is used to build what we believe is the world’s most accurate Predictability Chart – giving cannabis patients and consumers insight so that they may better choose the best strain for their particular wants and needs.

As the cannabis industry continues to expand, this measurability and predictability will become crucial, as consumers will want to know in advance, the expected outcomes of any particular strain or product they are considering for purchase.

Bud Genius also features:

Most visited cannabis laboratory website.
First service to display online public results for cannabis.
Patients utilizing BudGenius to find tested medicine that eases their ailments.
Dispensaries using BudGenius attract more patients to their collective.
Cost-effective and accurate testing service serving State of California.
Dispensaries using BudGenius will be able to attract more patients to their collective by using our measurability and predictability outcome analysis along with our testing services. Consumers will benefit by being able to match their needs with the proper products.

BudGenius.com, a social networking website and medical marijuana testing laboratory, has developed technology to predict therapeutic effects for thousands of marijuana strains by combining scientific data and crowd-sourced reviews. Patients throughout California use this unique online service to select marijuana individually rated for pain relief, sleep aid, anxiety relief, nausea treatment, appetite stimulation, and mood modification. BudGenius plans to extend treatment options to target cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s within a year.

Patients search online at BudGenius.com to find locally available marijuana treatments that meet their requirements. Patients are also given the option to visit participating dispensaries and review on-site educational materials. Dispensaries aid medicine selection by displaying BudGenius identification cards alongside each marijuana strain. Each card appears similar to a driver license, containing a photograph, therapeutic effects matrix, potency ratings, and an expiration date. All cards are sealed with a tamper-proof hologram to ensure authenticity.

“Senior citizens and patients new to cannabis face an uphill battle in sifting through myth and rumor to educate themselves on selecting the proper type of marijuana for their needs,” said Angel Stanz, co-founder and President of BudGenius.com. “With dispensaries carrying a dynamic medicine catalog upwards of 20 products, often changing every 2 weeks, there is no system in place for caregivers to make a fully informed recommendation to patients. BudGenius provides a much needed solution with a rating system powered by science, crowd-sourced reviews, and an intelligent engine constantly reevaluating data patterns.“

The BudGenius process begins with a gas chromatography analysis to determine the active chemicals contained within each marijuana plant. This produces results in both potency levels and chemical ratios. Test results are then compared against previous scientific trial data and crowd-sourced reviews that match similar strain properties. Using this information BudGenius produces the most likely effect ratings based upon its gathered information.

In just over six months of operations, feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. “The services that BudGenius has provided lends validation to our craft,” shared a representative from Humboldt County Housewives, a select group of northern California gardeners, “We believe that BudGenius is helping pave the way to conscious medical administration. “

While Mr. Stanz feels BudGenius has set a foundation that could soon begin identifying effectual treatments for critical illnesses, he recognizes that there is more work to be done. For example, BudGenius is only testing for three chemicals out of many that exist within marijuana. “We’re just beginning to scratch the surface of what’s possible,” said Stanz. “Pharmaceuticals and traditional medical research often focus on a micro scale by isolating individual chemicals. However, the marijuana plant is a macro organism with hundreds of interrelated compounds bearing synergistic effects. The interrelationships could take decades to discover by following a conventional path. We’ve harnessed the power of the most valuable resource available – thousands of willing human test subjects. By correlating exact chemical ratios with patient observations, we’re in the beginning stages of becoming a Physician’s Desk Reference for available medical marijuana.”
