Joel Stanley is the CEO of Ajna Biosciences, a company developing the next generation of botanical medicines. These full-spectrum drugs, derived from plants and fungi, are regulated and approved through the FDA, unlike dietary supplements. Lead drug candidates are targeting autism, generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD. With expertise in cultivating and scaling the production of botanical raw materials, Ajna is creating a sustainable model compared to wild-harvested botanicals. Joel explains, "It's no secret that before about a hundred years ago, all of our medicines were botanical medicines, or mostly coming from plants, or maybe mushrooms. And in the last century, as we developed Western medicine - modern medicine - the drug approval process started to learn how to synthesize molecules and isolate molecules from nature. So we started to step completely away from plant medicine and into a synthetic pharmaceutical landscape. The FDA fairly recently started allowing botanical drugs. So what that means is that it's full-spectrum medicines coming from the given root, shrub, leaf, flower, or mushroom. Those would be botanical drugs. So botanical drugs are not single-compound botanically derived drugs, which make up about 20% of our pharmaceuticals. They're a full-spectrum plant extract, a botanical drug from a regulatory standpoint." "So, plant-based therapeutics can mean dietary supplements that do not go through clinical trials. They're not legally prescribed by doctors and generally not covered by insurance. Whereas botanical drugs go through the FDA drug approval process, rigorous clinical trials against placebo control to become FDA approved, covered by insurance, and legally prescribable. So that's really what sets what we're doing, creating botanical drugs, apart from what people have considered plant medicine this last century." "Our most advanced drug in our pipeline is called AJA001, and it's very special to me because I've been basically working on this drug for more than 15 years. It's made in partnership with my previous company. I was the first CEO of a company called Charlotte's Web, which was really the first, and it's still the largest CBD brand out there. It was everything we learned at Charlotte's Web that kind of prompted me to start Ajna BioSciences four years ago. And that first drug is made from full-spectrum hemp, so it is CBD dominant, and it does have other cannabinoids, such as THC, as well as other minor cannabinoids. It also has certain terpenes." #AjnaBiosciences #BotanicalMedicine #PlantBasedTherapeutics #PharmaInnovation #DrugDevelopment #NaturalMedicine #BioTech ajnabiosciences.com Download the transcript here

Welcome to The Green Rush, a podcast about the intersection of cannabis, the capital markets, and culture. On a weekly basis, hosts Anne Donohoe and Nick Opich of KCSA Strategic Communications speak with the business leaders, financial experts, cultural icons, legislators, and generally interesting people moving the cannabis and psychedelics industries forward. Very few companies in this space need no introduction - and Charlotte's Web - is one of them. Today Anne and guest host Phil Carlson speak with two of the seven Stanley brothers, Jesse and Joel, both pioneers in CBD - and who's CBD-rich hemp genetics changed marijuana history. Their strain, named for Charlotte Figi, a young girl who lived with as many as 300 epileptic seizures a day and who was the feature of the groundbreaking 2013 piece by CNN's Sajjay Gupta called “Weed.” Through the use of the hemp genetics developed by the Stanley Brothers, Figi experienced an immediate reduction in her epileptic seizures down to just two or three per month. She became some of the most prominent figures in the legalization movement before sadly passing away in 2020 at the age of 13. In this episode, Anne and Phil talk to the brothers about the history of Charlotte's Web, what it's like working with so much of their family, and their insights into what's next for the company. So sit back and enjoy our conversation with Jesse and Joel Stanley, co-founders of Charlotte's Web.

HVMN Podcast: Evidence-based Nutrition, Fitness, & Biohacking
Joel Stanley, the CEO of CW Hemp, joins us on the THINKING Podcast to discuss the origins of his family-run CBD company, the state of the rapidly growing industry, and how his CBD product can be used for biohacking. The inception of his company is especially interesting. CW Hemp breeds high CBD plants, the cannabinoid substance in cannabis and hemp that is non-psychoactive (by having very little THC) but maintains documented medicinal benefits, known for its anti-anxiety and anticonvulsant effects. Their flagship product was used to stop Charlotte's epileptic seizures, a little girl who had gone through every other medical procedure to no avail. Her usage of the product was featured in a CNN documentary and garnered national media coverage, and the product was then named after her. Since then, CW Hemp not only provides biohackers with a product that can protect the brain but also continues to be a beacon of hope for parents with children in similar situations. SUBSCRIBE for weekly episodes that will make you THINK!

Cannabinol has been making headlines and subsequently causing Doctors to take a look at it’s potential benefits. The feedback has been profound. Education and testimonials are helping to fight the stigma surrounding the Hemp plant, especially since it has so many potential medicinal benefits.
