Testing Lab Field Trip | 8.17.21
Manage episode 313214295 series 3262304
Testing will be an integral part of the new recreational cannabis industry in New Mexico. But, it hasn't received a lot of attention so far. In fact, the state is largely in limbo right now when it comes to testing standards. The last attempt at updating cannabis testing rules promulgated by the state Department of Health, for medical cannabis, was essentially shot down by a state court judge. There are still old testing standards from the Department of Health, but the Regulation and Licensing Department has yet to issue rules for non-medical cannabis testing. Co-hosts Megan Kamerick and Andy Lyman visit a testing lab in Albuquerque, to find out more about the process, why those testing standards are so important, and why no one seems sure right now just how many testing labs the state will need moving forward.
