There he learned the process of extracting cannabinoids using supercritical CO2. In October of 2017 Colin was called upon to help at Iverson Family Farms with their Industrial Hemp operation, extracting CBD. Initially supposed to be a temporary assignment, the demand for CBD skyrocketed and a decision to stay at the farm was made in early 2018.
