Cannactiva Editorial Team
Cannactiva is an online shop selling CBD and hemp derivatives based in Barcelona, founded in 2018 and a leading name in the European market. Behind every blog article there is a multidisciplinary team made up of researchers, healthcare professionals, agronomy engineers, specialist journalists and dietitians who work regularly with the brand.
Who signs as the Editorial Team
Under this byline we publish content where it is not appropriate to attribute a single author: aggregated industry news, official brand announcements, product news, legal and regulatory updates, end-of-season round-ups and editorial articles on current affairs. When an article is the work of a specific member of our team, it is signed with their name.
The experts behind the blog
Our articles on science, health and pharmacology are written and/or reviewed in collaboration with professionals with verifiable credentials, including:
Masha Burelo, PhD — researcher with a PhD in neuroscience and cannabinoid pharmacology; Dr. Fernando Caudevilla — family doctor and university expert in drug dependencies; Dr. Daniela Vergara — evolutionary biologist, researcher at Cornell University and the University of Colorado Boulder; Alberto Sainz, PhD — psychologist with a PhD in cannabinoid psychopharmacology.
In the agronomy and product area we work with Rubén Valenzuela — agronomy engineer, co-founder of Cannabis HUB with the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya — and Dani Esteve — agronomy engineer and COO of Cannactiva. In nutrition and phytotherapy, Eli Tropical — dietitian-nutritionist and expert in medicinal plants.
Other contributors include Andrea Rezes — cannabis researcher and trainer; Lukas Hurt — journalist specialising in cannabis in Central Europe; Fero Soriano — journalist and author on the history of cannabis; Eva Federici — physiotherapist and osteopath specialising in gynaecology; and Laura Salas — R&D in CBD cosmetics.
Our editorial standards
We work with a clear commitment: to provide rigorous, evidence-based science communication on the Cannabis sativa L. plant and its derivatives. We cite scientific sources whenever possible, distinguish between preclinical and clinical evidence and do not make unsupported therapeutic claims about our products. The CBD and hemp derivatives we sell are not medicines and are intended for external or nutritional use, within the current legal framework.
