Understanding the Science Behind the Medicine - An Overview of Safety Testing
Jini Glaros, M.S., Chief Science Officer, Modern Canna Labs
All medical marijuana that is being sold to cannabis patients in Florida must be tested and certified as safe prior to hitting the shelves. However, many do not understand this process or what goes into ensuring that the products on the market are safe. In this presentation, we will briefly review the testing regulations that certified marijuana testing laboratories (CMTLs) must adhere to, before discussing the specific testing parameters that are followed and why these are important for patient safety. Attendees can expect to leave the presentation with a more comprehensive understanding of the magic behind the medicine and how Florida regulations are helping to ensure medical marijuana patients have access to safe medicine.
