Well Canadian researchers have done just that! Researchers at the University of British Columbia, have:"... developed a new method of measuring phytocannabinoids -- the primary bioactive molecules in cannabis -- that will lead to faster, safer and more accurate information for producers, regulators and consumers alike. With the coming legalization of cannabis in Canada, producers are increasingly looking for quick and accurate means of determining the potency and quality of their products. Researchers at UBC's Okanagan campus have developed a new method of measuring phytocannabinoids -- the primary bioactive molecules in cannabis -- that will lead to faster, safer and more accurate information for producers, regulators and consumers alike. Active companies in the cannabis industry includes: CROP INFRASTRUCTURE CORP. (CNSX:CROP.CN) (OTC:CRXPF), CV Sciences, Inc. (OTC:CVSI), Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE:CGC) (TSX:WEED.TO), The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (OTC:SPRWF) (TSX:FIRE-TO.TO), Namaste Technologies Inc. (OTC:NXTTF) (TSXV:N.VN).

Also mention in the recent article: "There is growing demand on testing labs from licensed cannabis growers across the US and Canada who are under pressure to perform potency testing on ever-increasing quantities of product," says Matthew Noestheden, PhD chemistry student under Prof. Wesley Zandberg at UBC's Okanagan campus. "Traditional tests can take upwards of 20 minutes to perform, where we can do it in under seven. It will save a great deal of time and money for producers with enormous greenhouses full of thousands of samples requiring testing."

CROP INFRASTRUCTURE CORP. (CNSX:CROP.CN) (OTCPK:CRXPF) (Frankfurt:2FR) BREAKING NEWS: CROP INFRASTRUCTURE announced today its Washington State tenant's first crops have had successful test results.

The samples showed a range of Tetrahydrocannabolic Acid ('THCA') results and passed all tests for microbial impurities and no detectable pesticides. THCA is not directly used, but its presence is commonly analyzed when cannabis, or hemp-based products, are screened for THC. The tenant is now approved to begin selling the products in the Washington State market.

STRAIN THCA 9 LB Hammer 26.65% Woo 19.47% Dutch Hawaiian 22.54% Bubba Kush 27.35% Gorilla Glue 18.16% Green Crack 17% Star Killer 26.99% Ghost Train 16.02% Dutch Treat (Distillate) 79.1% THC 12.31% CBD

The tenant is working with both bulk extraction buyers as well as retail locations under the Hempire and Evolution brands in the Washington market. CROP CEO, Michael Yorke, stated: "This is an excellent result and certainly bodes well for the future. CROP's tenant production teams continue to show what meticulous controls, defined production protocols and a focus on organic operations can mean in terms of resulting products."
