Cannabis Laboratory Fundamentals

Cannabis laboratory safety testing is a new investment opportunity within the emerging cannabis market that is distinct from cultivation, processing, distribution, and retail.  It is supported in every U.S. state to date that permits consumption by legislative requirements that medical and recreational/adult-use cannabis undergo laboratory testing.  This is facilitating a new route of entry into the cannabis value chain for individuals and organizations who may have been reluctant to participate previously.



Cannabis Laboratory Fundamentals provides an in-depth review of key issues that impact cannabis testing laboratories and provides recommendations and solutions to avoid common – but costly – mistakes.  While methodology chapters about common compliance tests are included, it goes beyond with chapters on economics, regulation, and numerous operational challenges.  This text is useful for both new and experienced cannabis laboratory operators, as well as those who want to understand the opportunities and risks of this industry sector.
