Massachusetts regulators in cannachusetts have criticized the drop in thc potency prices amid law enforcement saying “nothing” is being done to stop the killing.
In an interview with Boston-based CBS News Affiliate WBZ, the President of the New England Narcotic Forfeiture Association, said he found cannabis products with 300% – the result of poor state oversight, he said.
Licensed cannabis dealers and producers are excluding the consumer,” Tulwill told CBS.
His criticism follows years of similar claims from labs and the industry that cannabis testing labs are bowing to market pressures and producing unfriendly results to stay in business.
Unlike other states, Massachusetts does not conduct random testing.
Randomized trials in studies like California have led to product recalls.
It is not clear what action legislation can take to stop the drop in potency prices and other inappropriate things, but the gutwills had strong words for the ruler of the marijuana state.
The State Cannabis Control Commission “doesn’t do anything on the enforcement end,” Tulwill told CBS.
Massachusetts cannabis lab Testing fraud fraud
That’s not entirely true, as the CCC in the summer moved to suspend the licensing of cannabis testing for the first time.
The certified testing laboratories, which tested 25% of the cannabis in the State before it was closed on July 4, reopened in the fall after paying a fine of $ 300,000.
The certification had a failed rate of yeast and mold 90 times lower than the national average, according to the June 30 ccc suspension order.
According to the results confirmed by submission to MetRC, the seed tracking software, only 10 samples out of 17,565 failed with the total content of yeast and mold exceeding the state limits.
It is confirmed and suspected that he participated in “dry book,” a practice in which results are reported without performing any tests, according to the CCC.
He was reconfirmed in September. Lab authorities have denied any wrongdoing.
Massachusetts marijuana regulators admit declining THC potency is a problem
State cannabis authorities acknowledged that potency inflation is a problem, according to CBS.
CCC Commissioner Kimberly Roy Roy told CBS that the State wants to introduce a “reference Laboratory” like those seen in other states to verify the results produced by the labs presented.
That didn’t happen because of lack of money, he said.
In the meantime, the CCC will introduce a secret shopper program to get the product off the shelves, Shannon O’Brien, Chairman of the State Cannabis Regulatory Commission, told CBS.
