When it comes to cannabis decontamination…

Not All X-rays Are Created Equalâ„¢.

Rad Source Technologies’ 3 Year Study on the Efficacy of Photonic Decontamination of Cannabis

With increasing legalization of medical and recreational-use cannabis in the U.S., there is a need for reliable analytical testing to ensure safe, pathogen-free consumption of cannabis.  According to the United Nations, more than 3.8% of the world’s population, or 158.8 million people around the world use cannabis. Therefore, it is extremely important that cannabis users are not being exposed to harmful microbial contaminants.  This is extremely important for medical use, as many of these patients tend to be immunocompromised and more susceptible to illnesses as a result of microbial contamination.

Cannabis is subject to a wide range of potential contaminants including yeast, mold, insects, and other pathogens.  Aspergillus is the most concerning in the cannabis industry.  There have been documented cases of medicinal patients who have died from Aspergillosis, a condition caused by inhaling Aspergillus spores.  Since there are multiple steps involved in harvesting, drying, processing, and packaging cannabis, decontamination processes are necessary to ensure safe consumption.

 

Your Cannabis, Your Healthâ„¢

Many of the best names in growing, including Cannabis Cup winning growers have been turning to photonic decontamination as the safest and most effective remediation technique that is also the friendliest to the flower itself. As the only solution that is able to penetrate the entire flower without destroying or chemically modifying it, consumers are able to avoid the risks of incomplete, surface-only decontamination while also knowing that the product and its smell, taste, and potency are not being compromised in the process.

Rad Source’s Photonic Decontamination (light) process, which uses the same technology that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved to prevent the growth of dangerous microbes in food, keeps consumers and employees of growing facilities safe because it completely eliminates the presence of harmful chemicals. No chemicals also mean that the cannabinoids, terpenes, moisture, and visual quality of the product remains intact
