Cannabis Quality Management Software for Seed-to-Sale Excellence

The cannabis industry is quickly evolving, so ensuring your company stands out for quality and is prepared to meet all applicable standards and regulations is vital. By prioritizing quality your company can:

• Make it easier to meet consumer expectations
• Enable full traceability of any process
• Optimize product safety and consumer health
• Quickly comply with regulations
• Prevent legal penalties and potential recalls
• Develop repeat business
• Stand out in the market

Because cannabis is not legal at the Federal level in the United States, regulatory requirements fall to the individual states. Cannabis businesses and organizations should educate themselves about all federal and state laws.

Regulation of cannabis for medical use falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). “The FDA’s role in the regulation of all drugs, including cannabis and cannabis-derived products, also includes review of applications to market drugs to determine whether proposed drug products are safe and effective for their intended indications.”

In the interest of providing safe and effective products, many cannabis companies have adopted quality guidelines put forth by general manufacturing practice (GMP) or ISO 9001 standards. ISO 9001 outlines criteria for any organization establishing a quality management system. You can find more about ISO 9001 standards by visiting our ISO 9001 page.

It is important to note that the legality of cannabis, whether for recreational or medical use, varies by country and can be industry dependent. For additional information on the legal status of cannabis in various countries, the following Wikipedia article may help: Cannabis Legality *
