Ep. 34 - Lab Testing Keeps Cannabis (And You) Safe!

Cannabis Nurse Truths

Cannabis is the most over regulated, yet under regulated prohibited drug on the market - and the most studied! Through eight decades of research, we know of all of the potential harms and risks associated with both use of the plant and access to the plant. Lab testing of all cannabis products is what helps keeps our consumers safe. But what if that's not the case?

On this episode CNT, we review cannabis testing industry considerations and highlight some of the issues we are already facing as we try to provide safe, lab-tested products to either medical or adult use consumers.
