Introduction

Importance of Cannabis Research

The importance of Cannabis Research is that we need to recognize the increasing diversity of cannabis products and their expand uses. Recognizing the increasing use of cannabis material and the legalization of the recreational use of cannabis unlocked the door for labs to start doing more research on cannabis. Also, farmers growing hemp material need analytical research done on their plant material because of laws and regulations set on cannabis. The farmers need to have their hemp material below 0.3 WT% of delta 9 THC otherwise it is considered marijuana. With that being said if a farmer has their hemp field above that percentage then they have a bunch of marijuana on their hands and that can cause multiple problems. Analytical testing is also important because the consumer needs to know what is in the products that are being sold. The consumers need to have confidence in the label on the material that when there is suppose to be a certain percentage of CBD in the product that they are getting that percentage.
