What are the challenges faced by analytical labs working with edibles? Measuring the chemical contents and accuately labelling edible products has been a challenge to the cannabis industry. A recent study published by the Journal of the American Medical Society (JAMA) regarding cannabinoid (mis)-labeling in edible medical cannabis products, Dr. Ryan Vandrey of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine looked at 75 products from 47 separate brands purchased at medical dispensaries. Items included baked goods, beverages, and chocolate/candy. Their criteria for selection included those items with a specifically-stated cannabinoid content level. The results, indicated only 17% of edibles tested were “accurately” labeled. The results indicated a +/- 10% range of the stated THC content for beverages and baked goods while baked goods where off by +/- 25%. This could lead to over and under usage which could represent a safety concern. We looked at streamlining the sample prep and analysis of THC in candy.
