Weed Regulators in California are cracking down

After a report from the LA Times that shed light on the poor testing discipline across the state, the Department of Cannabis Control has begun to take its job a little more seriously. The latest example of this is a license renewal denial for a cannabis testing lab that was cutting corners. This is the first time this has occurred since California legalized the marijuana market.

20 reasons were listed, but one of the major reasons was that all 10 products selected for random testing had inflated THC levels. Higher THC in a product correlates to higher value and better profit, so there’s incentive to inflate these numbers.

The Deputry Director, Michael Cheng, wrote in the letter, “California Cannabis Testing Labs is no longer authorized to conduct commercial cannabis testing activity, effective 7/24/2024.”

This is a continued response from the DCC after a bombshell report from the LA Times found a plethora of contaminated products after independent testing. More and more products are getting recalled, including three batches of vape cartridges made by Backpackboyz and Eaze.

This surely won’t be the last license revocation as the DCC decides it needs to get its act together.
