What is medicinal cannabis and what is it used for?
In this article
Medicinal cannabis is defined as cannabis that is cultivated in accordance with pharmaceutical standards. These are strict guidelines that ensure the final product is free from heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants. The levels of multiple active substances are kept as consistent as possible, partly through controlled growing conditions. An independent laboratory tests each harvest to verify that all requirements are met.
Difference between coffeeshop and illegally grown cannabis
Cannabis from coffeeshops or illegal (home) cultivation does not meet these standards. As a result, its effects and side effects can vary greatly, and there is no guarantee that it is free from harmful substances. Because medicinal cannabis may be used long term by people with weakened health, it is especially important that it meets high quality standards.
How is this handled at CBA Pharmacy?

CBA Pharmacy also performs analyses on the extracts we produce from this medicinal cannabis. All of this ultimately determines the price of our products.
