The first cannabis testing lab in #california lost their license for allegedly faked test results and tampered with equipment so it could offer passing test results to cannabis products potentially contaminated with dangerous pesticides and mold. We all know that THC inflation has been a big problem for a long time. When California cannabis legalization went into effect in 2018, it stopped the practice where patients/consumers could see and smell the product they were buying. THC percentage become the top indicator of quality. With a lot more cultivation licenses compared to retail licenses there was limited shell space. Companies had to find the way to stand out including lab shopping. As the market matured the Department of Cannabis Control started cracking down on labs. As well consumers are becoming more sophisticated and are realizing that terpenes and how it was grown, are much better indicators of quality.

As the cannabis industry matures, we are starting to get reliable data. This can help make decisions based on real sales figures and not predictions. 10 years ago, there was only one state with adult use sales (#colorado) and a handful of states with medical seals. Now there is 24 sates with adult use sales and an additional 15 states with medical seals. At the moment #california leads with total seals but #michigan leads with per capita seals. #florida leads in medical seals. #missouri with a relatively small population and only 17 months since they launched their adult-use market, is already in fifth place. Thank you Debra Borchardt from Green Market Report for the financial update. #cannabisindustry #cannabiscommunity #cannabisnews #cannabiseducation #cannabispolicy #cannbislaw https://lnkd.in/gc96gcCh

Post 4/5 - No Synthetic Cannabinoids 🌿 The THC used in Rebel Rabbit's formula is what's known as "mother liquor". Mother Liquor contains natural cannabinoids versus synthetic cannabinoids. Our partners at SōRSE Technology and Open Book Extracts handle this process for us but I'll attempt to explain.... The process starts off pretty standard with an extraction from hemp biomass into a crude extract. Then the crude is distilled into a "Full Spectrum Distillate". The next step is unique - the CBD is then crystallized from the Full Spectrum Distillate, leaving behind some CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids - this is called "Mother Liquor". From here, there is another round of distillation followed by chromatography. These steps are intended to refine the other cannabinoids down and isolate the THC. Does this make sense?? 👨‍🔬 How am I doing Diana Eberlein Danny Willis ? The point here is that the THC found in the Mother Liquor is the same THC that was naturally present in the hemp plant. Meaning nothing was synthetically created or converted. Customers and even some regulators prefer this method because the cannabinoids truly are natural. This method is more expensive than synthetic conversions but at Rebel Rabbit we felt it was important to be as natural as possible. We're already using natural and organic flavor and sugar, so why not stay natural with the THC? #drinkcannabis #hempbeverages #highseltzer
