  • UNDERSTANDING CLEAN GREEN CERTIFICATION IN MEDICINAL CANNABIS

The Clean Green Certification stands as an important symbol of quality and transparency within the medicinal cannabis industry, especially for patients who prioritise organically grown products.

In the rapidly changing medicinal cannabis landscape, transparency and quality are essential. Leading providers of organically grown medical cannabis, such as Aqualitas, hold the Clean Green Certification.

But what does this certification mean for you as a patient and why is it so important?

WHAT IS CLEAN GREEN CERTIFICATION?

Established in California in 2004, Clean Green Certification is a global third-party certification programme providing reassurance to consumers, guaranteeing that their cannabis meets organic standards comparable to those of fruit and vegetables sold in supermarkets.

Although it originated in California, the principles of this certification are now recognised globally.

A top certifier, Clean Green Certification highlights the commitment of cannabis facility owners and developers to the highest standards of organic cultivation and sustainability in the cannabis industry.

This certification is more than just a label; it represents a commitment to environmentally responsible practices and top-quality products.

THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS

The Clean Green Certification involves a rigorous process to ensure that cannabis is cultivated and processed using sustainable and organic methods. Here’s a brief overview of the reassurances the certification process provides:

Legal Compliance Review: this initial step ensures that the grower adheres to all relevant laws and regulations. It involves a thorough review of the grower’s record-keeping system and is valid for one year from the date of issue.

Cultivation Review: this evaluation looks at how cannabis is grown, including water and electricity sources and pest management practices. Inspections may follow to verify the methods described in the application.

Agricultural Inspection: an on-site or virtual inspection confirms that the described practices are being followed. Inspectors closely examine the growing plants, collect samples for lab testing and review the post-harvest process and handling facilities.

WHY CLEAN GREEN CERTIFICATION MATTERS

For patients, Clean Green Certification offers several key benefits:

Environmental Sustainability: cannabis grown under this certification is cultivated using sustainable and organic methods, which significantly reduces the environmental impact of farming practices.

Patient Trust: certification assures patients that their medication is free from harmful chemicals and grown in an environmentally friendly manner. This trust is crucial for patients seeking high-quality, safe medicinal cannabis.

Market Differentiation: for producers, Clean Green Certification helps them stand out by demonstrating their dedication to quality and sustainability.

Legal Compliance: the certification process includes a review of legal compliance, ensuring that all laws and regulations are followed.

Potential Health Benefits: with no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers used, many patients and healthcare professionals consider Clean Green Certified products to be healthier options.
