Ensuring Clean and Safe Cannabis: How HERB Leads the Way
As the cannabis industry continues to grow, so do concerns about product safety and quality. Recent reports, such as the LA Times article highlighting the issue of "dirty cannabis" in Los Angeles, underscore the importance of purchasing cannabis from reputable sources. At HERB, we take these concerns seriously and ensure that all our products are rigorously tested and meet the highest standards of safety and quality. In fact, for years before lab testing regulations were in effect, we were lab testing all of our products before we allowed them on our shelves. In this blog, we'll delve into how HERB operates, the rigorous testing our products undergo, and why none of the problematic products mentioned in the LA Times article are available through our service.
The Issue of "Dirty Cannabis"
The LA Times article sheds light on a critical issue facing the cannabis industry: the prevalence of unlicensed dispensaries selling cannabis that hasn't been properly tested. These products often contain harmful substances such as pesticides, mold, and heavy metals, posing significant health risks to consumers. The Department of Cannabis Regulation (DCR) and Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) have been working to crack down on these illegal operations, but the problem persists.
Our Commitment to Quality and Safety
At HERB, we understand that our customers deserve the best. That's why we have made it our mission to provide only the highest quality cannabis products. We work exclusively with licensed and reputable partners, ensuring that every product we offer is thoroughly tested for safety and quality.
Rigorous Testing Procedures
To ensure the safety and quality of our products, we implement a comprehensive testing protocol that includes:
- Pesticides: Testing for over 60 different pesticides to ensure none are present. Pesticides can be harmful when inhaled or ingested, and their presence in cannabis is a serious concern.
- Microbial Contaminants: Screening for a wide range of microbial contaminants, including mold and bacteria, which can pose serious health risks, especially to those with compromised immune systems.
- Heavy Metals: Using advanced testing methods to detect even trace amounts of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. These contaminants can have serious health implications if present.
- Residual Solvents: Ensuring that all residual solvents used in the extraction process are completely removed, guaranteeing that our products are pure and safe for consumption.
Transparency and Trust
We believe that transparency is key to building trust with our customers. That's why we provide detailed information about the testing and quality assurance processes that our products undergo. Each product comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), which provides detailed information about the testing results. This way, you can be confident that the products you receive from HERB are safe, clean, and of the highest quality.
