🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that Alfredo Gonzalez, CEO of INCCert, will be a distinguished speaker at the CB Company Expo in Dortmund, Germany, on September 16, 2023!

Alfredo will discuss how standards and certifications play a pivotal role in unraveling the complexities of the global cannabinoid supply chain. He will address how a chain of custody standard backed by track and trace technology helps to stabilize, legitimize, and foster the growth of a global market for cannabinoids and hemp-derived products. This is a rare opportunity to gain insights into ensuring quality, traceability, and safety in the ever-evolving cannabis landscape. Don't miss this chance to learn from a true standards and certifications expert who has decades of experience building global commodity markets!

Well it's done! I submitted three terms to ASTM International Technical Committee D37 on Cannabis for consideration. Which terms? If you've been following me, you know I've been word-smithing these for a little bit now. Trying to figure out the perfect balance between scientific, technical accuracy, and common usage in industry. And, I finally think we are close. Each term is highly market relevant and serves to fill a gap in knowledge as well as eliminating confusion and nuance. So which terms are we talking? The first is #Solventless coined by Nick Tanem to describe the process for making hash, rosin, and other forms of solventless concentrates and extracts. The second is Total #Cannabinoids designed to give a simple definition allowing for consistent quantification of prevalent cannabinoids across jurisdictions. Finally, and maybe most controversial, is #ConsumerProduct Containing Cannabinoids intended to provide a general classification for those consumer products that contain cannabinoids to distinguish them from consumer products that do not contain cannabinoids. I hoping that these terms make their way through the balloting process and start being utilized more and more by you all in everyday situations. Have a great weekend everyone. Live long and process 🖖🏼

As we implore our clients to carry out R&D testing to better understand their microbial bioburden, I am interested in how many states have regulations around testing that have your hands tied, and additionally how cannabis testing prices vary per state. What are you paying for testing in your state? Can you perform R&D tests without them effecting your compliance tests?

Sativa strains of cannabis are known for their stimulating and energizing effects, often preferred for daytime use. 🔬🧪🔍🥼 However, the complexity of sativa strains warrants rigorous testing to ensure they meet safety and quality standards. How is sativa testing done? What tests are commonly carried out by accredited sativa testing labs?

"Trust me, bro, the DEA said they don't care about intoxicating hemp derivatives." Oh yeah? Then why are they studying their cannabimimetic effects? That's right, 3 DEA agents listed as co-authors with the research contractor RTI International on this paper, which looked at cannabimimetic effects of minor cannabinoids and synthetic IHDs Δ8-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8-THC) and (6aR,9R)-Δ10-tetrahydrocannabinol. I'm not suggesting this is a conspiracy theory. It's well known the DEA is interested in IHDs. But what could this mean for future policy from the DEA? "Delineation of their potential adverse effects, including their ability to produce Δ9-THC-like intoxication, is crucial" "Δ8-THC was the only compound that produced Δ9-THC-like psychoactive effects." And on a side note, despite prior research showing beta-caryophyllene activates CB2 (albeit in the high micromolar range), they claimed "beta-caryophyllene and beta-caryophyllene oxide exhibited negligible affinity for both CB1 and CB2 receptors" #BetterCannabisThroughScience

Have you read my co-authored paper on the cannabis space? Cannabis offers a better solution when compared to trees. it is easy to grow, captures twice as much CO2, cleans the air, sucks up heavy metals (cleans rhe soil), can be used in the clothing, building, plastic and oil industries. Cannabis' only crime is that it has THC, which was also shown to also provide some therapeutic benefits. see the comments section for a link to the article. #cannabislaw #cannabiscommunity #cannabisnews #cannabisresearch #cannabiseducation #cannabispackaging #cannabinoid #researchwriting #cannabis
