Emma Chasen has a mission: to educate people on the science behind Cannabis so that they may take charge of their own healing, as well as to address the need for training and education of budtenders, medical professionals, and the general public. After graduating from Brown University in 2014 with a degree in Medicinal Plant Research, Emma coordinated Clinical Oncology trials with the Brown University Oncology Research Group. When her supervisor refused a Cannabis trial in favor of another expensive pharmaceutical drug, Emma quit and headed across the country to Portland, Oregon. She found her way to Farma, the popular Portland dispensary that takes a more scientific approach to Cannabis; rejecting the indica/sativa binary and instead focusing on chemotypes to determine effect. There she quickly rose from budtender to General Manager and Director of Education, creating a training curriculum that focuses on cannabis science, product knowledge, and empathetic patient care. Emma now co-owns and operates Eminent Consulting, which provides cannabis business consulting services, marketing collateral development, and educational training programs. Emma was named Portland’s Best Budtender of 2016 and has been featured in Newsweek, MG Magazine, Forbes, High Times Magazine, The Centennial, The Oregon Leaf, and Teen Vogue for her work with cannabis education. She is also a regular guest on podcasts and has been featured on television for her ability to explain scientific concepts around cannabis in a way that is accessible to the general public.
