140 Poe (CEO and co-founder of Habu Health)

Ever had a vision and then brought your dreams into reality?   Christopher Poe AKA Poe is the CEO and co-founder of Habu Health, a Portland (Oregon, USA) based research group committed to building consumer confidence through scientific rigour.   Led by 12 years of research into the neurobiology of pain, and the pain-relieving properties of opioids and cannabis by leading industry pharmacologist and neural scientist, Dr Adie Poe (Poe's co-founder and wife), Habu Health is a startup created to work with legislators and partners to build digital products that will fuel an intelligent database which integrates high-fidelity plant and human data.   We cover the legalities of recreational use and need for medicinal marijuana globally, the $2M dollars that Dr Adie Poe has already received in US government federal funding, the meaning behind the name of the business ("habu" is Japanese for "herb"), what motivated Poe and Dr Poe and Adie to take the leap of faith to pursue this dream and the launch of the Habu Health App in just 2 weeks!   Fascinating and educating insights into this data-fuelled startup and I have no doubt that you'll enjoy this entrepreneur podcast as much as I do!   'Cause legalising cannabis can change the lives and how we manage chronic pain in our global community. This shit is SO much more than Puff Puff Pass!   Connect with Poe (CEO and co-founder of Habu Health) online: http://www.habuhealth.com/ https://www.instagram.com/pdxpoe/ https://www.facebook.com/dradiepoe https://www.instagram.com/dradiepoe/ https://twitter.com/DrAdiePoe https://www.facebook.com/habuhealth/ Habu Health partners: https://www.farmapdx.com/ http://www.phylosbioscience.com/ Habu Health startup pitch at 1776 Challenge Cup Portland 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn3BjDiRafw&feature=youtu.be&t=33m17s   Hit Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet up on social media here: Twitter https://twitter.com/hotndelicious Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hotndelicious/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/craftbeerlovin/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/HotnDelicious Hot & Delicious YouTube - Ballistyx Snowboard Show, interviews & more. https://www.youtube.com/user/HotnDeliciousRecords 'Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet' entertainment, travel, photography & lifestyle blog: http://hotndelicious.com/   For social media strategy, content/photography & influencer business enquiries contact: [email protected]
