David Vaillencourt delves into the important role science plays in the cannabis industry and how the industry needs to embrace stringent manufacturing standards to move the industry forward.

ASTM Standards D8557-24 and D8556-24, provide unified guidelines for GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and QMS (Quality Management Systems) in cannabis operations. These standards enhance compliance, product safety, and operational consistency across the industry for the benefit of operators, consumers, and other stakeholders in the industry.

The proposed rescheduling of cannabis holds profound implications for the industry, affecting everything from research and taxation to banking and market dynamics.
