Elizabeth Thompson, PhD, MSc

Cannabinoid Science & Athletics Researcher

Dr. Elizabeth Thompson holds a PhD in pharmacy from the University of Saskatchewan, specializing in cannabinoid science with a focus on concussion, neuroinflammation, and pain. She holds an MSc in Applied Physiology from the University of Texas and a BSc (Honours) in Molecular Biology from the University of Waterloo. With over 20 years of experience in the world of professional contact sports, Liz brings a unique perspective to her research, deeply understanding the dynamics between athlete performance, safety, and longevity, as well as the powerful influence of sponsorships, league policies, and post-retirement health challenges. Her academic and professional journey led her to investigate molecular pathways involved in concussion and neuroinflammation influenced by both naturally secreted and plant-derived cannabinoids. As part of a Canadian research team funded by the National Football League and NFL Players Association, she is currently engaged in a multi-site clinical trial examining the pharmacokinetics and therapeutic potential of cannabinoids for pain management, brain health, and quality of life in athletes. Liz has published peer-reviewed work in journals such as Sports Medicine Journal, BMC Neurology, and Sports. Alongside her academic contributions, she leads 'Train With Mary Jane', a multimedia education platform designed to translate complex cannabinoid science into accessible content for athletes, their medical staff, and the public. Her mission is to bridge cutting-edge research with real-world application, empowering individuals to make informed decisions about one of the most polarizing plants of our generation.

Patrick Neary, PhD

Physiologist, Professor, & Concussion Expert

Dr. J. Patrick Neary is a Professor of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina and an internationally recognized expert in exercise physiology, concussion, and cardiovascular health. His research has focused on how concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries affect brain blood flow, oxygenation, and autonomic regulation, helping to inform safer recovery and return-to-play protocols. In recent years, Dr. Neary has investigated the potential of phytocannabinoids, such as cannabidiol, for pain management and neuroprotection in concussion recovery—work that has been supported by major funders, including the NFL and NFL Players Association. His research program has also received long-standing support from CIHR, NSERC, SHRF, and the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Alongside his research, Dr. Neary teaches exercise physiology and clinical exercise science, while mentoring graduate students in areas ranging from concussion physiology to cardiovascular stress responses. Widely published, he has authored over a hundred peer-reviewed papers and book chapters and contributes his expertise to organizations such as the Saskatchewan Brain Injury Association. Through his scholarship, teaching, and community service, Dr. Neary continues to advance understanding of the heart–brain connection and explore new therapies, including cannabinoids, to support brain health and recovery. Dr. Patrick Neary is an exercise physiologist and Professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina, Regina, Canada. He has developed an independent research program over the past 20 years to examine the pathophysiology of mild traumatic brain injury or sport-related concussion which was funded nationally by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and provincially by the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF). His research in this area has confirmed that transient cerebrovascular (blood flow regulation) and cardiovascular (heart rate variability, blood pressure) disturbances occur following a concussion.

Jason Wilson, MS

Natural Products Researcher & Science Communicator

Jason Wilson is a biologist and science communicator with a specialization in pharmacognosy and Cannabis science. Over the last 15 years, Jason has contributed significantly to the field of Cannabis and cannabinoid science, helping build and operate one of the first accredited research and testing laboratories in Oregon, publishing peer-reviewed research, and assisting numerous research and product manufacturing laboratories across the United States. In 2018 he authored the now widely-used science textbook Curious About Cannabis: A Scientific Introduction to a Controversial Plant, now on its third edition and followed by an accompanying podcast with over 100k downloads globally. Jason's hands-on experience with Cannabis and cannabinoid products extends to nearly every aspect of the product lifecycle, from cultivation to extraction, formulation, analysis and even dispensary sales and patient consultation. There are very few researchers in the world with the breadth of experience and depth of knowledge about Cannabis products and the Cannabis industry as a whole as Jason brings.
