Are there products available if I do not want to smoke?
Yes, there are a variety of “smoke-free” products available, but not all product types may be available in your state. Common products may include: cannabis concentrates such as RSO/FECO, vape products, topical products such as lotions, transdermal patches, or gels, and infused products such as tinctures, lozenges, pills, powders, capsules, tablets, or edibles.
What types of testing are required?
As cannabis remains federally illegal, required testing is defined by regulators on a state-by-state basis. Common tests required for medical and adult-use cannabis products include: cannabinoid profiling, including homogeneity and label claim verification and terpene analysis, as well as pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological contamination testing. US Cannalytics fully complies with state-specified testing requirements for each licensed location. For more information on required testing within the Maryland, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Jersey, or Michigan markets, please email info@uscannalytics.com including your state-specific information request.
What does ‘ISO 17025 accredited’ mean?
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent and non-government organization that creates third-party standards for a multitude of industries. ISO 17025 is specific to analytical laboratories. This assures all US Cannalytics clients and patients that USC utilizes standard documentation, methodology, and risk assessments for all aspects of technical and organizational operations, as validated in our accreditation certificate. Please see the Locations page for copies of accreditation certificates, by state.
What is a Certificate of Analysis?
A Certificate of Analysis (COA or CofA) is the certifying document demonstrating the specific testing a sample has received. A COA will include the specific product name, including lot or batch information, applicable tests, and testing results with a formal authorization for release. It is important to remember that sample analysis is performed on a specific percentage of the total product and represents a statistical average of the whole, based on analytical analysis.
How do I submit samples to a US Cannalytics location?
For state-approved medical or adult-use cannabis licensees within the Maryland, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Jersey, and/or Michigan markets, or newly awarded provisional licensees within these states, please email kmiller@uscannalytics.com, including your license information and applicable USC location for which you are inquiring. Most pick-ups can be accommodated within 48 hours with a four-day turnaround time.
Effective July 2024, US Cannalytics is at capacity for its hemp/CBD account resources as regulated markets are re-evaluating their current hemp programs. We are happy to continue servicing our existing accounts but are not taking on additional accounts at this time. For more information, please email info@uscannalytics.com and provide your hemp/CBD account information and your preferred USC location.
What is THC-compliance testing for hemp/CBD testing?
Based on the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Laboratory Testing Guidelines, the allowable limit for total d9-THC hemp and CBD products is 0.3% by dry-weight. US Cannalytics currently works with multiple regulatory bodies, such as the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, the Maryland Department of Agriculture, and the New York Department of Agriculture for harvest THC-compliance testing for its established hemp and CBD testing accounts.
What should I do if I am experiencing an adverse reaction to a cannabis product?
If you are a registered medical patient and would like to report an adverse event related to a legal cannabis purchase, please contact your state-specific regulatory body or the dispensary in which you purchased the product. Local poison control centers may also be of assistance, especially in cases of unintended over-ingestion of an edible cannabis product.
