Panacea Plant Sciences

Panacea Plant Science’s CEO David Heldreth has been a medical marijuana activist, cultivator, researcher and patient for more than 15 years. Cannabis helped treat his nerve damage and pain, and he currently uses the CBD to treat his dog Beau’s canine epilepsy.

However, David and Panacea also have deep roots in organic gardening and cultivation of food and is hoping to bring some of the small scale farming techniques often found in cannabis to other crops we eat. On the other hand, cannabis has much to learn from traditional agriculture about scale and management practices. Our goal is to bridge these worlds and provide research on the subjects along with a place to test the science.

We hope that you’ll come along for the journey as we open our data, research and test sites to students and the curious in the future.
