The Science of Cannabis: Genetics, Soil & the Future of Cultivation with Dr. Brad Fausett

#MontelWilliams #PlantScience #CultivationScience What separates great cannabis from great marketing? This week on Let's Be Blunt with Montel, Montel sits down with agricultural scientist, cultivation expert, and cannabis executive Dr. Brad Fausett for a fascinating conversation about the science behind the plant. With more than 25 years of cultivation experience spanning Amsterdam's underground grow scene to today's large-scale commercial operations, Brad has spent years studying what makes certain cultivars succeed while others fail. He shares insights from his long-running genetic evaluation programs, explains why many popular strains struggle when scaled commercially, and reveals what truly determines quality, consistency, and patient safety. Montel and Brad also explore groundbreaking research showing how industrial hemp can help remove toxic contaminants from polluted Superfund sites, raising important questions about soil health, environmental stewardship, and what consumers should know about the products they use. From genetics and cultivation technology to phytoremediation, regulatory policy, and preserving America's historic hemp varieties, this episode offers a rare look at the science shaping the future of cannabis. Whether you're a patient, cultivator, policymaker, or simply curious about the plant, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
