New Lab Testing Medical Marijuana For THC And CBD Content, Among Other Things
Steep Hill Medical Collective, a laboratory based in Venice, California, began testing medical marijuana from different collectives, growers, and patients back as early as 2008.
Steep Hill Medical Collective, a laboratory based in Venice, California, began testing medical marijuana from different collectives, growers, and patients back as early as 2008 as they position their company for the regulatory measures many in this industry are seeing already taking root. So far, this industry seems to be regulating itself, as far as lab testing goes.
Information from the results of these tests have helped growers develop various THC-and CBD-heavy strains of flowers, taking hybrid possibilities to a myriad of directions. A medical strain with a THC low and a high CDB percentage, for example, will help a patient who’s choosing to medicate because of the medicine’s anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-convulsant, neuro-protective properties, while not taking in the psychoactive properties. CDBs have also been proven to inhibit certain types of cancer cells.
As laboratories like Steep Hill can help growers and patients alike, we will begin to see higher and higher standards set, if not by the government, by the people themselves. This has already begun, as herbicides, pesticides, mold, fungus, bacteria, to name a few, can help make sure your medicine, in anyone’s hands, is as safe as it can be.
