Recent research shows that regular cannabis use during adolescence can affect memory, attention, and learning, particularly when products are high in THC or inaccurately labeled.

That’s why accurate testing isn’t just about compliance; it’s about protecting public health.

At ProVerde, we take that responsibility seriously. From potency verification to contaminant screening, we help ensure that what reaches consumers is exactly what’s on the label, nothing more, nothing less.

Science and integrity aren’t optional. They’re how we protect the next generation.

We love this training initiative for and CannaWorkforce, Inc.! There is a focus on , , and ; but we have to ask, WHAT ABOUT THE !

Obviously there is big difference in the professional requirements for someone working a register, a pot and shears, or a distillation machine, and someone working HPLC or QTRAP... but those in retail need to be able to explain the labels and testing process to consumers, the cultivation and processing need to understand how their daily methods and process may effect the test results and how. So, we here at ProVerde sincerely hope there is space in this curriculum for contamination training and understanding the testing process for those who don't have the extensive science education background required for working in labs.

The more we all know!

"Nearly half of cannabis flower products sold in Colorado are inaccurately labeled for THC potency, with most overstating how strong they really are. In contrast, cannabis concentrates such as oils and waxes were found to be largely accurate, with 96% matching their listed THC content."

The journey from raw leaf to packaged kratom product is filled with chemical changes. Every step, harvesting, drying, grinding, blending, affects alkaloid balance and potency. Understanding that chain is essential to producing reliable, safe products. ProVerde helps manufacturers track these changes scientifically, giving consumers a product they can trust.

Kratom leaves are typically hand-harvested, but timing matters. Younger leaves may contain different alkaloid ratios than mature ones, and environmental conditions, season, rainfall, sunlight, add further variation. After harvest, drying methods play a major role. Sun exposure, humidity, and airflow can alter chemical composition through oxidation or microbial activity. Even small adjustments can shift potency, color, or flavor. ProVerde’s testing captures those variations so manufacturers can standardize their processes.

After drying, leaves are milled into fine powders for teas, capsules, or extraction. Particle size, uniformity, and blending determine how evenly alkaloids are distributed. Inconsistent milling can create “hot spots” with unpredictable potency. Some producers also ferment leaves to alter alkaloid ratios, marketing them as red or gold varieties, but the science behind those claims is limited. Analytical testing verifies what processing really changes, and what’s just marketing.

Processing transforms kratom’s chemistry as much as cultivation does. Without testing, you can’t tell whether fermentation, drying, or blending improved or degraded your product. ProVerde provides the analytical insight needed to prove consistency, detect contamination, and document quality from harvest to sale. Responsible processing starts with validated data.

Kratom is often described as natural and safe, but “natural” doesn’t always mean risk-free. Its complex chemistry, combined with wide variation in product quality, creates room for unintended effects. From mild nausea to rare but serious toxicities, understanding what’s in a product is the first step toward responsible use. ProVerde gives you the right test for every risk.

Clinical and anecdotal data show that kratom can affect multiple organ systems. Some users experience gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, constipation, or vomiting, while others report cardiovascular changes like elevated heart rate or blood pressure. Seizures are rare but have been documented, particularly in high doses or when kratom is mixed with other stimulants. These reactions underscore why product purity and dose accuracy matter.

A small number of case reports link kratom use to liver injury, though mechanisms remain unclear. Respiratory depression appears less pronounced than with traditional opioids, but risks increase with concentrated extracts or co-use of sedatives. The biggest concern isn’t the plant itself, it’s contamination. Inadequate processing can introduce heavy metals, microbes, or synthetic compounds that transform a botanical into a hazard. ProVerde’s testing identifies these threats before they reach consumers.

Most serious outcomes tied to kratom involve adulteration or combined substance use, not untainted leaf material. But perception doesn’t protect your brand, data does. ProVerde provides scientifically validated testing that confirms purity, screens for toxins, and supports compliance. Responsible manufacturing starts with transparency, and transparency starts with testing.

’s impact isn’t fixed, it shifts with , dose, and user physiology. What feels energizing in small amounts can become sedating at higher levels. Understanding that curve requires real data, not anecdotes. ProVerde gives manufacturers the right test for every , helping translate complex into responsible product design.

In smaller quantities, kratom often behaves more like a mild stimulant than a sedative. Users describe increased alertness, motivation, and social engagement, likely tied to and activity rather than opioid pathways. The composition of each product, its balance, purity, and formulation, can dramatically change that outcome. Testing identifies those differences, ensuring consistency from batch to batch.

As dosage increases, kratom’s pharmacology leans toward its opioid-like properties, producing sedation, pain relief, and muscle relaxation. Regular or heavy use can lead to tolerance and, in some individuals, withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, or muscle aches. Severity varies widely, but the risk is real. Reliable testing and accurate labeling are the first steps toward harm reduction and consumer safety.

Every kratom product carries a chemical fingerprint that determines how it feels, functions, and affects users. Responsible manufacturers don’t guess, they test. ProVerde provides the data that defines dose-dependent outcomes, verifies purity, and supports evidence-based safety claims. Science builds trust, and trust builds strong brands.

This is how it feels some days in the testing space. We keep our heads up and prep our next sample, but it gets hard sometimes when we see the competition skirt rules, and do things "their way". We so look forward to the day the will set some standards for TY&M and Potency testing methodologies. We hope those methods are the ones that provide the greatest protections for the consumers.

The priority is your health and safety.

Today Christopher Hudalla finds himself in Portland Oregon talking with students at Willamette University about cannabis science. ProVerde is heading all the way to the Left Coast to speak with college students about the science of cannabis and the intersection with industry, "When profits Gets Higher Than Purity".

This is definitely the fun part of our work, shaping the minds of future cannabis scientists and public health advisors.

While the continues to debate social consumption, the issue of consumer safety still hangs in limbo.

Parts of the CCC’s own testing guidance are described as “ ”, not enforceable standards. That leaves Massachusetts operators and consumers relying on voluntary compliance from labs and licensees.

Testing isn’t optional. Science isn’t optional. and are written clearly. depends on reliable, and transparent reporting.

Until is prioritized at the same level as innovation, the people of deserve to ask: who’s really the ?

ProVerde will continue doing what we’ve always done, adhering to validated methods, publishing real data, and holding testing to the standards it deserves.

We dropped this article 8 months ago. EIGHT....

That means at least 8 CCC meetings, 8 meetings of all the labs leaders within the state, 4 meetings between the 3 different CCC lab directors who have held the state position this year and the leadership of the labs...

Have the regulations changed enough to solve the problems as they have been laid out in this article by quotes from our founder Christopher Hudalla?
