  • How LEVEL Delivers Effects-Based Cannabis Tablets ft. Chris Emerson

    How LEVEL Delivers Effects-Based Cannabis Tablets ft. Chris Emerson
    2025/11/20

    Everyone in cannabis talks about effects-based products — almost no one can deliver them consistently.

    Repeatable experiences require precision and formulation discipline that looks a lot more like pharma than cannabis.

    This week we sit down with Chris Emerson, Founder of LEVEL, to break down:
    • How true effects-based products are actually built
    • The analytics and standardization required for repeatability
