Hello Dr. Plant, I was going to send you a PM but the option is not available yet. Can you send me one? I just wanted to ask you a couple things. Cheers

From my interpretation, that means you can do it in house, have another LP do it, of find a lab with a dealers license do it. In our application we have included the option of accepting marihuana from other LP for analysis purposes. Of course, we have not heard back about this yet, so I can't...

Probably because they are not licensed yet. From what I read, they are pre-registering patients in anticipation of their opening.

It looks like their QA program was meant for the MMAR growers. Since the QA was not needed in that program it seems like it may have been a bit of a cash grab. Overall their website looks like a lot of smoke and mirrors to me. It is quite well done, but if you start digging it quickly loses...

As I alluded to earlier, I suspect that they were likely denied because they were miss-using the 3rd party lab. In my opinion, a third party lab would not be in a position to do the QA, but several people seem to be trying this. If you were applying with that model, I suspect HC would deny...

Thanks for the link, I looked around for that info to no avail. As for the Directive on Physical Security Requirements, I dont see a discrepancy. Level 6 requires a thicker wall, but level 7 and up require steel re-enforcement. I dont know the relative costs of the options, but I could see...

I'm not saying it would have to be tested on site, but the way they have constructed this the QA person is ultimately responsible to ensure that the tests comply with one of these documents. If you outsource the analysis, you are still the one that needs to make sure they use the right tests...

You better be sure about the pharmacopoeias, as it is the LP's responsibility to ensure they are followed. It is the labs responsibilty to do the analysis, but it is your responsbility to collect and send them the appropriate samples. I think it will be evident in your QA report if you dont...

You are only calculating the price of the GC. The GC would be fine for the THC/CBD, but you also need to test for heavy metals, aflatoxins, and do all of the microbial counts. Each of these tests requires a different set of tools, and none of them are cheap. On top of that, even to do the GC...

Not so much when you work out the startup and operational costs. $1000 for these analyses would be cheap, and I suspect that it will cost more with proper replication etc.

That is not a sufficient sample size based on the European, British, or international pharmacopoeia (schedule B documents that must be followed). Perhaps there is another schedule B document where that is acceptable, but this is fairly standard from what I have seen. I'm sure that 50g is more...

The vault sounds intimidating, but when you break it down it is really just a concrete room with rebar and a serious security system. At the end of the day it is not that big a deal compared to many of the other requirements. We contemplated a safe, but it seems too small so we are planning...

Not according to HC: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/marihuana/info/list-eng.php

Yes, or at least we have one in our proposal. We still have to do some serious renovations after we hear back from HC.

Has anyone here submitted an application yet? Just sent ours in, now starts the wait...

We were in the process of getting the R&D exemptions when the new legislation came out. They gave us the option to continue with our application or not. After thinking it over we decided that there was no point in continuing with the R&D as there is no huge added benefit. According to HC, the...

Hello Jaxx, I think that e-mail would be better (kron3007(at)gmail.com). We are just about to submit our application but depending on where you stand it is not too late to discuss a partnership. Send me an e-mail with whatever information you feel like sharing and I will get back to you with...

Hey Jaxx, we are just about to submit our application but send me a message.

It would be the final dried and processed product. Depending on how you store/package, you could justify sampling from a bulk container (if you package on demand) or from several packages (if you pre-package). It basically means that from each batch, you will lose about a QP for testing...

Especially since it is just a supplementary text to the international pharmacopoeia. That being said, you dont really need to read the whole thing. I just posted it in regards to the sampling information. I think it says you need a 100-200g composite sample for flowers. I think the European...
