Washington, DC: More than eight in ten Americans believe that there should be uniform standards in place regulating the manufacturing of commercially available cannabis products, according to national polling data commissioned on behalf of the regulatory compliance group SIPCA and the Foundation of Cannabis Unified Standards (FOCUS).
Most respondents (72 percent) said that cannabis products should be grown and produced using “consistent product safety standards (regardless of which state they are legally purchased in),” and 84 percent support the notion of the “federal government setting standards for product safety and quality that must be met for any cannabis products produced or sold in the United States.”
Because cannabis remains classified as a Schedule I illicit substance under federal law, regulations governing the manufacturing and testing of marijuana products vary from state to state.
