you for coming on the show. Steve told me about what you're doing. We're very, very excited to talk about this stuff. You're working with the natural farming AI chat bot. You're working with the mapping of the cannabis genome, your Galaxy project, all of this with copyleft cultivars. So I'd like to start from the beginning, talk to me about what brought you into the world of cannabis and how you got started with copyleft cultivars. Yeah,

happy to so my relationship with cannabis and medicinal plants in general goes back both to my own exploration on younger years and then also to treat chronic diseases. I suffered from Crohn's disease for since my teenage years, and ADHD and I've found that medicinal plants such as cannabis can be really powerful allies in that I also had that naturally flow into growing various plants, including cannabis, and that became a love in and of itself too. So it's become this beautiful passion from multiple sides, and this synergy together, nice.

That's wonderful. And what about copyleft? First of all, I like the name. It's not copyright. It's copyleft. When did this project first spawn? Yeah,

I'm glad you caught the little pun there and that I can't take credit for the term copy left. That's actually an older term in open source and so we connected that, you know, with cultivars represent this mission in the plant domain. I came up in a technology family, so I'm a fifth generation inventor by trade. That was one of the things I've done in the past with some green energy technology. So I grew up around a lot of both patenting and open source work in computer systems and computer technology, and then that just, you know, being around that with my family has become a little bit second nature in the. Green Energy domain, we patented a pretty big breakthrough that resulted in this big hostile takeover lawsuit battle and some really firsthand, gritty experience with how the core systems and financial asymmetry can really impact the intellectual property system. So that's kind of my opening into open source, and my commitment there really came from both seeing it firsthand growing up and then seeing it firsthand in that Green energy project as well. Well, you
