Jeff Rawson was born in Louisiana and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida. He graduated from Bard College, located in the Hudson Valley in upstate New York, and later earned his master’s degree from Vermont College. Jeff went on to receive a PhD in chemistry from Duke University, followed by postdoctoral research at Harvard University under the renowned chemist George Whitesides.
His educational journey took him to various places, but it was during his time at Bard College that he was first introduced to cannabis. Years after becoming a scientist, a negative experience from a legally purchased distillate vape cartridge which left him ill, became the catalyst for founding the Institute of Cannabis Science. Jeff is the founder and president of this nonprofit cannabis testing organization, which advocates for consumer protection and the public health of cannabis users.
