A hefty portion of the cannabis industry says no, but government officials and some growers disagree.
, MED officials have called growers, public health administrators and other cannabis stakeholders together for rulemaking suggestions.
"The inhalation of cannabis carries a unique set of dangers that we might not inherently recognize at this time," cannabis industry executive Christian Hageseth said."Science knows what it knows until it knows something else, and then it evolves. I believe that scientifically, we really don't know enough about these decontamination methods to really make a statement."
"There were no approved methods nor prohibited methods, and we saw what would be some concerning methods that were being employed, and we thought it was important to start the conversation," MED senior deputy director Kyle Lambert explained during the meeting. A handful of other large players in Colorado cannabis, including Native Roots, one of the state's largest dispensary chains, and Vicente LLP, one of the country's most influential cannabis law firms, expressed their desire to keep any notifications of decontamination off retail pot products. Many of the opposing parties compared retail cannabis products to meat, which goes under remediation without a stamp or label on the end product.
The timeline of cannabis product decontamination and remediation can be more complicated than moldy weed being nuked into something smokeable, some industry representatives argued. A growing portion of cultivators treat their flower before sending it in for state testing to ensure better chances of passing, while some product is grown with the intention of treatment and extraction for infused products, such as hash or edibles.
There was not unanimous agreement among growers and extractors regarding the potential labeling, however.
