Testing and Analysis We feel that all medicinal cannabis products accepted for distribution should be lab tested for safety and potency. After the 3000-year history of human cannabis consumption, consumers should be provided a scientific assessment of the safety and potency of products prior to ingesting them. Testing will begin with cannabis flowers and concentrates, and later will include edibles, tinctures, capsules, etc. The testing techniques include gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, gas chromatography/flame ionization detection, and plate culture analysis. The testing program will have two main components: safety screening and potency quantification. Safety screening analyzes and detects contamination of pathogenic molds, which can threaten the health of patients with compromised immune systems. Potency quantification provides the percentages of three major cannabinoids: THC, CBD, and CBN. Later stages of the program will include the use of patient surveys to develop a comprehensive database of the efficacy of medical cannabis. |
