 California’s Department of Cannabis Control has announced that they will be looking to strengthen regulations for laboratory testing.
Their press release stated that they are responding to requests to strengthen uniformity in laboratory testing procedures due to concerns of alleged “laboratory shopping” behaviors, which is when cannabis businesses shop for a laboratory that gives them the most favorable test results. The Department of Cannabis Control Director Nicole Elliott spoke about the need for standardized and validated methods for testing, saying, “Individual, licensed laboratories use different methods which may produce inconsistent results and inaccurate data on cannabis cannabinoid content. DCC is working to change that so there is greater integrity in the market, accurate information for consumers, and confidence among stakeholders.” “The ultimate goal is protecting public health and safety by providing consumers accurate and consistent information on the cannabis they purchase.” The proposed regulations are available on California’s Department of Cannabis Control’s website, and they will be accepting public comments on the matter until August 2, 2022. According to Coherent Market Insights, the global cannabis testing services market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,658.9 million in 2022 Comments are closed.
