CurrentQAcanna provides risk management-based Quality & Compliance consultancy and vendor servicing to the cannabis industry. We take a multi-pronged approach: helping investors, cultivators, brand manufacturers and distributors of cannabis products understand the inevitable—yet complex—statutory regulations proposed or implemented by state and local governments.As Quality & Compliance professionals, we understand the importance of managing organizational risks and making educated decisions based on objective evidence and grounded thinking. We believe that compliance and mitigating identified risk factors will be one of the most important concerns and realities that drive the cannabis industry forward, and our services will provide investors and companies with peace of mind.We provide site-specific identification, development and implementation of required processes based on the results of risk-based assessment tools, such as initial “gap analysis” services. This data determines your level of compliance with regulations, standards and guidance documents, while ensuring that infrastructure, knowledge and culture is suitable to allowing the processes to be followed and appropriately documented. We also provide additional services, such as vetted independent cannabis testing labs and transportation and supply chain logistics, along with identifying and remedying security vulnerabilities. The two principals of QAcanna bring a combined 50 years of extensive experience with Federal, State and Local regulations for the handling of medical devices, pharmaceuticals, food, dietary supplements and controlled substances. We are contributing members of the "ASTM International D37 Technical Committee on Cannabis" with regards to development and implementation of internationally recognized and harmonized cannabis industry standards.
