Addressing Laboratory Fraud in Cannabis
The Californer/10274367

OAKLAND, Calif. - Californer -- Cannabinoid inflation, a practice where cannabis testing labs inflate cannabinoid concentrations in reports, is distorting market dynamics and compromising consumer safety. Digamma Consulting, experts in cannabis chemistry, presents regulatory solutions in their latest white paper, Solutions to Cannabinoid Inflation.

Last week, Digamma sent this important scientific white paper to cannabis regulators in 45 states and 2 territories to prompt a nationwide discussion about cannabinoid inflation and contaminant deflation. We have used our 12 years of cannabis analytical chemistry experience to help establish 48 cannabis labs in 16 states. Based on this vast experience, we have developed economical solutions for regulators to change enforcement practices designed to stop the laboratory fraud that has become commonplace and threatens public safety. These solutions are based on over 10 years of direct experience in cannabis testing as well as models taken from well-regulated testing markets such as the FDA and the EPA.
