Episode 6: In this episode of The QT9 Q-Cast, host Christian Reyes sits down with Samantha Miller, pioneering cannabis scientist, quality expert, and entrepreneur, to unpack what quality management really means in the rapidly evolving cannabis industry.
As cannabis businesses scale and face increasing regulatory scrutiny, the need for structured, defensible quality systems has never been greater. Samantha shares her firsthand experience helping cannabis companies transition from informal processes to robust Quality Management Systems (QMS) that support consistency, compliance, and long-term operational success.
The conversation explores:
Why quality management is a competitive advantage, not just a compliance requirement, in cannabis
Common challenges cannabis operators face when implementing QMS frameworks
How ISO standards can be adapted to cannabis operations and laboratories
The relationship between quality, data integrity, and operational excellence
How regulatory compliance impacts growth, investor confidence, and brand credibility
Samantha also discusses how quality systems help cannabis companies prepare for future federal oversight, reduce risk, and build repeatable, scalable operations—lessons that apply across all regulated industries.
Whether you are a cannabis operator, quality professional, or business leader navigating compliance in a highly regulated environment, this episode delivers practical insights on turning quality into a strategic asset.
