Meeting BUD: How Surgeons Is Using AI to Fight Misinformation

There’s a lot of noise out there when it comes to hemp-derived products. Conflicting information. Confusing terminology. Claims that range from overly cautious to wildly exaggerated. For someone trying to make an informed decision about cannabinoids, it can feel like navigating a maze without a map.

That’s exactly why we built BUD.

A Name With Meaning

BUD .1 is our AI assistant, and yes — the name works on a few levels. The one concept that matters most to us is this: BUD is named after Herman Mazzoline, a loving grandfather, and better father. He was the kind of person who believed in doing things the right way, in taking care of the people around him, and in being honest even when it wasn’t the easy path.

When we were developing our AI, we wanted it to carry that same spirit. We didn’t set out to build something flashy or to chase trends. We set out to build something useful — something that could actually help people.

Why We Did This

At Surgeons, we’ve always operated with a simple principle: we care about the health of our friends and family. That’s not marketing language. That’s the foundation everything else is built on.

When we looked at the cannabinoid space, we saw a real problem. People had questions — good questions — and the answers they found online were often incomplete, misleading, or just plain wrong. We knew we could do better. We knew AI could help, if it was built with the right intentions.

So we created ai.surgeonsolutions.org — a place where you can talk to BUD and get real, accurate information about cannabinoids and our products. No agenda. No pushy sales tactics. Just clear answers to help you make decisions that are right for you.

AI as a Tool for Good

We’re not naive about artificial intelligence. We know it can be used in ways that aren’t helpful — ways that spread misinformation rather than fight it. That’s precisely why we felt it was important to be part of the conversation.

We didn’t want to reinvent AI. We wanted to help it evolve in a positive direction. BUD .1 represents our contribution to that effort — a sophisticated system designed to be genuinely helpful, not just technically impressive.

There are things about BUD we won’t go into detail about, and that’s intentional. What we will say is this: we’ve put real thought into how it works, how it responds, and how it serves the people who use it. It’s a cut above, and we’re proud of that.

A Different Kind of Company

Working with AI has changed how we operate in ways that most people might not immediately see. It’s allowed us to become more decentralized, more agile, and more focused on what actually matters — which is helping people.

The technology is a tool. What matters is how you use it. We believe that when AI is used responsibly, with care and intention, it can make things better. That’s what we’re doing here.

What’s Next

This is just the beginning. BUD .1 is live, learning, and ready to help. Whether you’re new to cannabinoids and trying to understand the basics, or you’re looking for something specific and want guidance, BUD is there.

We’re committed to getting this right. To being transparent. To putting accurate information out into the world and standing behind it.

“We appreciate everyone’s support during these tough economic times. We are committed to being a valuable resource to our local and online communities, and BUD .1 is a complete demonstration of that value.”

— The Surgeons Team

At the end of the day, this isn’t about technology for technology’s sake. It’s about people. It’s about health. It’s about doing right by the people who trust us.

And that’s something my grandfather would have understood.
