1. AAPCO 71st Annual Meeting
Cannabis
It Still Smells Funny In Here…

2. Players At The Table… Department of Revenue – MED
License facilities
Authority to stop sale/hold or destruction
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
Certify MJ labs
Issue medical MJ licenses
Local health/fire departments – Denver
File complaints / tips

3. MJ Lab Certification
Certified labs – test for 13 primary actives CDA has found over the last few years
CDA lab MDL/LOQ lower than certified labs
Certified labs vs. CDA lab conflicts
Different results – who will MED go with?
CDA violations vs. public health protection?

4. MJ Lab Certification Certified labs vs. CDA lab conflicts (cont)
CL results - will CDA be notified?
Action levels???
2nd sampling - CDA or now CL?
If MJ industry doesn’t agree with CDA lab results, will the MED allow a third party lab to challenge CDA lab results to overthrow decision to hold or destroy?

5. CDA Lab Testing CDA funded for TOF equipment / 1 FTE
Formulation samples
CDA seeing and hearing about more potentially adulterated products entering the market
Expertise and equipment unavailable currently
Time to turn formulation samples around to address issues when going with outside labs
Toxilogically significant amounts ??
Best industry argument… “what I use must be adulterated.”

6. FTE Funding CDA received MJ cash fund dollars Six inspectors
Three enforcement specialists
Funding limited to two years – July 2018
2018 legislative session – reallocated w/no future limitations
MJ personnel limited to only work on MJ cases
