Unlock the Science of Cannabis Transformation

Accelerate Your Caribbean Cannabis Success

From Raw Plant to Premium Product

This masterclass tackles one of the most profitable and technical segments of the cannabis value chain:
How to extract, stabilize, and formulate cannabinoids into compliant, shelf-ready, high-value products.

Your Guest Lecturer: Alexandre Poulin

Formulator | Cannabis Processing Expert
Co-Founder & Chief Innovation Officer, Gayonica (Canada)
President, Quebec Council of Edible Cannabis

Alexandre Poulin is a globally recognized cannabis formulator and educator, known for blending traditional techniques with cutting-edge pharmaceutical standards. As the co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Gayonica, he leads R&D on effect-based cannabis extracts and formulations, including Jublee, one of Canada’s most innovative edible product lines.

Alexandre merges deep plant knowledge with molecular precision. He has studied traditional hash-making in Morocco, worked across four continents, and now focuses on developing safe, stable, and compliant formulations that meet both regulatory standards and consumer expectations.

As President of the Quebec Council of Edible Cannabis, he advocates for sustainable, culturally relevant regulation. His work bridges heritage, health, and high-performance product development.

What You’ll Learn

Extraction is where craft meets compliance and business. In one focused, technical session, you’ll cover:

Understand the strengths, weaknesses, and best-use cases of ethanol, CO₂, rosin, and hydrocarbon extraction — and how to match the method to your climate, capacity, and target products.

Learn how to assemble a GMP-aligned lab without overspending: equipment selection, clean room standards (C1D1/C1D2), HVAC, filtration, and safety protocols—drawing on real-world examples from leaders like Lowtemp, Highpoint, and Advanced Extraction Labs.

Learn how cannabinoids and terpenes interact with the human body: absorption pathways, onset times, metabolism, and synergies.
Design effect-based formulations (tinctures, oils, topicals, edibles) that deliver consistent, targeted therapeutic outcomes using principles of bioavailability, carrier selection, and terpene modulation.

Identify which extraction path matches your goals, resources, and market. Includes cost-benefit analysis, ROI modeling, and how to scale intelligently from micro-lab to export-grade production.

Align your operations with GACP/GMP requirements: from lab testing and traceability to stability studies, COAs, packaging, and compliant launch preparation.
