Lennard is a research horticulturalist working with psychoactive plants for the past decade. With a background in tissue culture and micropropagation, Lennard developed in vitro propagation protocols for Cannabis and Iboga, before moving into RnD in the medicinal Cannabis industry, improving production methods to increase yield and decrease production costs in controlled environment systems. Lennard has since completed a PhD in genetics and breeding at Southern Cross University, focusing on elucidating and manipulating sex expression in Cannabis sativa. This has instilled a passion for protecting genetic variability in medicinal plant species for conservation and as the basis for molecular marker development.
