  • The Advisability and Feasibility of Developing USP Standards for Medical Cannabis Gabriel I
    STIMULI TO THE REVISION PROCESS Stimuli articles do not necessarily reflect the policies of the USPC or the USP Council of Experts The Advisability and Feasibility of Developing USP Standards for Medical Cannabis Gabriel I. Giancaspro, Nam-Cheol Kim, Jaap Venema, Susan de Mars, Jennifer Devine, Carlos Celestino, Christine E. Feaster, Ben A. Firschein, Mary S. Waddell, Stephen M. Gardner, and Earl Jones Jr.a ABSTRACT This Stimuli article analyzes the need for public quality standards for medical cannabis (defined herein as marijuana used for medical purposes under state laws) and the potential role of the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) in addressing that need.1 Following legalization of the medical use of cannabis in several U.S. states and internationally, USP has received requests to investigate the advisability and feasibility of developing quality standards for medical cannabis. Development of quality standards for medical cannabis requires consideration of a wide range of scientific, legal, and policy issues that reach far beyond its classification as a botanical drug or herbal medicine. This article discusses the current regulatory and scientific landscape regarding medical cannabis, identifies issues related to the lack of quality standards for medical cannabis, and explores potential options for developing quality standards. USP seeks input from stakeholders on whether USP should proceed with development of quality standards for medical cannabis and if so, what approaches should be utilized to establish such standards. LEGAL AND REGULATORY LANDSCAPE The federal and state regulatory environment surrounding the medical use of cannabis involves many federal agencies and various different state laws. The evolving legal environment is an important consideration when evaluating the advisability and feasibility of USP developing a public standard for cannabis.

This information is intended for use by the independent testing laboratories registered with the MMCC. Table of Contents Introduction 3 Sampling 4 Collection Procedure for Laboratory Samples 5 Potency 6 Pesticides 7 Residual Solvents 8 Microbiological Impurities 9 Heavy Metals 11 Excipients 13 Stability Testing 13 Appendix A - Medical Cannabis Testing Requirements 14 Appendix B - Definitions 15 Appendix C - Stability Testing Protocol- MMCC Licensed Grower 17 Appendix D - Stability Testing Protocol-MMCC Licensed Processor 19 Appendix E - Stability Testing Protocol-Edibles 21 Appendix F - Microbiological Quality Control 22 Appendix G- Pathogen Detection Storage Requirements 26 References 27 2 MMCC’s TECHNICAL AUTHORITY FOR MEDICAL CANNABIS TESTING 12/15/20 INTRODUCTION Analytical testing of medical cannabis for safety and potency is increasingly recognized as a critical and necessary component of the industry for several reasons (Freeman et al. 2016): ● Laboratory testing minimizes the risk of pesticides, microbes, heavy metals, toxins, and residual solvents from being consumed by an immunocompromised population; ● Quantification of cannabinoid profiles and potency becomes available for the consumer and aids in determining appropriate dosing for individual use; and ● Laboratory testing provides a sense of public safety and product quality for the medical cannabis tested. The Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission (MMCC), with the assistance of a scientific work group, has established this technical authority to serve as a reference guide for the independent testing laboratories (ITL) to follow when analyzing medical cannabis.
