ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

How Can Established Industry Standards Improve Cannabis?

Originally aired: November 30th, 2022 | 12 PM CT



As legal cannabis becomes more accepted and mainstream than ever, the industry is facing many everyday concerns familiar to food manufacturing, wine and spirits, and consumer packaged goods (CPG) professionals, among others. 

In this on-demand Rootwurks webinar, you can hear David Vaillencourt, CEO of the GMP Collective, and Tyler Williams, the Chief Technical Officer of Cannabis Safety and Quality, discuss the importance of universal standards and how they could improve the safety and reliability of cannabis products, and help protect cannabis consumers and workers alike.  

About this Webinar

Cannabis may be one of the country's more exciting and dynamic industries, but it does not have universal standards that govern the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of cannabis products. 

The lack of universal standards for safety, labeling, testing, security, processing, and a host of other issues has a significant impact on the industry.

Without universal standards, it is more difficult for companies to provide accurate, objective information to consumers.

And for customers, it can be much harder to know which brands and products to trust.

Like many other industries, trust, credibility, and transparency are critical to the success and health of cannabis. 

In this webinar, David Vaillencourt, CEO of the GMP Collective, and Tyler Williams, the Chief Technical Officer of Cannabis Safety and Quality, held an in-depth discussion on the importance of universal standards for cannabis and what such standards would mean for the future of America’s most fascinating (somewhat) new industry.
