Des Lauriers explains further in the video statement, "ProVerde Laboratories is an industry leader in the testing space. We are an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited laboratory with one of the broadest scopes of any lab in the industry for both hemp and marijuana testing."
ProVerde uses highly sophisticated equipment - the same type of equipment as used by pharmaceutical companies around the world.
"We want to make sure that ProVerde Laboratories is providing outstanding testing with superior results," Des Lauriers continues. "We are primarily focused on safety to make sure that your products are safe for you to consume."
When asked specifically about the quality of CBD hemp oil sourced by Medical Marijuana, Inc. for testing at ProVerde Laboratories, Des Lauriers states, "We have never seen anything in there that shouldn't be there – so no heavy metals, no solvents, nothing that is not supposed to be there."
"Medical Marijuana, Inc. is an industrial hemp industry leader and the first publicly traded cannabis company," states Stuart W. Titus, PhD, President and CEO of MJNA. "We take extreme pride in having invested years of time and millions of dollars to create the largest all-natural CBD hemp oil pipeline in the world. Our goal is and always will be product quality assurance, safety and accessibility for all."
"Medical Marijuana, Inc.'s CBD hemp oil is tested at its origin in the EU, and is inspected upon arrival in the U.S." Titus continues. "As you can imagine, Customs, FDA, and other government agencies would never allow in a hemp oil product if it were contaminated with toxic microbial life, mold or any other contaminants."
Titus concludes, "After our CBD hemp oil passes all required parameters for open importation, our employees quarantine the oil as a double-failsafe then send it out for further testing to multiple cannabis and food safety labs for extra verification. We have used ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited food safety laboratory, ProVerde, for years and sincerely appreciate their attention to product quality and safety. Only if these independent tests verify the safety and accuracy of our suppliers' tests and US-based inspectors' tests will Medical Marijuana, Inc. consider beginning the manufacturing and packaging processes."
Titus concludes, "Medical Marijuana, Inc. and management are extremely appreciative of the individuals, parents, organizations and shareholders who continue to trust and support the Company's products and initiatives. Our brands, including Real Scientific Hemp Oil, are some of the world's most trusted brands of CBD hemp oil in the world. We are thrilled to be making global headline news with acceptance of our flagship product RSHO™. In this rapidly growing industry, one thing our customer can count on is consistently receiving the highest quality product with every purchase."
