For a plant that has been medically legal in some states for over 20 years and recreationally legal in some states since 2014, there has been an attitude that “cannabis never killed anyone.” While we don’t have the necessary research to prove that the plant hasn’t killed anyone, we do have evidence that the contaminants on the cannabis plant have caused severe harm, especially in cases of immune-suppressed patients . With no FDA or USDA to oversee consumer product testing, US States, growers and manufacturers are on their own to ensure properly labeled and safe product for patients and consumers are released in the marketplace. The best science and technology is available today, so whether or not the government is watching over you, learn why safety testing for cannabis products will insure correct potency labelling, reliable brands and products, prevent product recalls and lead to an industry that can meet global standards for safety and health.
