Cannabidiol (CBD) products abound in every direction. Beer stores, cigarette outlets, Whole Foods, Amazon, convenience stores, now Dollar General. Farmers’ markets have them, chiropractors’ offices have them, even a Western Pennsylvania gun store was rumored to advertise CBD, so the real question is who isn’t selling it these days?

Despite being a federally legal industry, the feds haven’t yet concerned themselves with generating analytical testing regulations (outside of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, THC). Therefore, forward-thinking companies seeking certificates of analysis on their products must turn to the federally illegal cannabis industry for guidance on things like contaminant testing.
