Starting this year, July 1st will be a big day for all Colorado manufacturers & distributors of... 👉 'Hemp Products' (made with non-intoxicating cannabinoids like CBD, CBN or CBG) 👉 'Safe Harbor Hemp Products' (made with intoxicating cannabinoids like Delta 8-THC, Delta 9-THC, Delta 10-THC) These licensees are now REQUIRED by the Colorado Department of Public Health to demonstrate compliance with the federal current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) for food or dietary supplements by obtaining an inspection from a department-approved third-party auditor. This rule kicked off this year and now, by July 1 of each year thereafter, hemp product facilities AND #SafeHarborHemp product facilities must get #cGMP certified by a third party.

Current vape device manufacturing trends are unfortunately NOT headed toward higher “quality” or better-performing hardware. This race to the bottom has the potential to endanger not only the consumer but 10-20% of the cannabinoid products market. To create safe, high-quality vape products, we first need to identify specifications for performance and #HarmReduction, which is one of the many tasks our Technical Director Darwin Millard is tackling this week at the ASTM International meet-up. Check out his post to learn about other initiatives addressed at this meeting, AND get a sneak peek at the new #SafetyStandards we have in the works!
