Before interstate commerce, cannabis needs to fix its consistency problem

Consistency in cannabis products is crucial for building consumer trust and loyalty, which is essential for the industry's growth. Currently, the lack of standardization across different states and brands can make it challenging for consumers to know what to expect from a particular product. As the industry prepares for potential interstate commerce, resolving this consistency issue will be vital to ensure that products can be reliably shipped and sold across state lines.

The hemp industry, in particular, has seen significant growth in recent years, with the 2018 Farm Bill paving the way for the production and sale of hemp-derived products. However, as the industry continues to evolve, ensuring consistency in products will become increasingly important. This includes developing standardized testing protocols, implementing quality control measures, and providing clear labeling and transparency about product contents and potency.

As the industry moves forward, it's essential to watch for developments in standardization efforts, such as the adoption of testing and labeling protocols. The industry should also keep an eye on regulatory updates, particularly from federal agencies like the FDA, which may provide guidance on consistency and quality control. Additionally, as more states legalize cannabis and hemp, it's crucial to monitor how these changes impact the industry's approach to consistency and quality control, and how it will ultimately affect the products available to consumers.
