Maintaining compliance on a cannabis farm is crucial to operations because it helps us ensure the safety and quality of the product, as well as adherence to legal and regulatory requirements. Non-compliance can result in fines, legal repercussions, loss of license, and reputational harm, which can ultimately affect the viability and profitability of our operation. By maintaining compliance, we can demonstrate our commitment to responsible and ethical business practices, and build trust with stakeholders, including customers, investors, and regulators. Here in Salisbury, NC at the Psychonaut headquarters, we have spent the last several years developing what we call our USDA Compliancy Manual. Which is a portfolio of all legal documents and DEA approved Lab test to ensure that ALL of our products are manufactured within the legal limits of North Carolina and are ALL below 0.3% delta-9 THC. We mandate batch and lot testing for each product regularly to ensure all levels of THC and THCA are within legal limits. All Test are performed from a third party analytics lab that carries DEA approval to complete said above work. It is beyond important to test our cannabis materials for potency, heavy metals, and pesticides because it helps ensure that the product is safe for consumption and meets regulatory requirements. Potency testing allows us growers here to accurately label our product with information about THC, CBD and other canabinoid content, while heavy metal testing ensures that the product is free from harmful contaminants that can pose health risks. Pesticide testing helps ensure that the product is free from harmful chemicals that could also pose a health risk. Testing is a responsible and safe practice that demonstrates our commitment to quality, safety and providing what we think is the best industry services and practices . By testing our cannabis material, I can also identify any potential issues early on and take necessary corrective actions to ensure that the consumer product is safe and compliant with regulations.
