From Old Market bars to retail shelves, h**p-derived THC drinks have become part of Nebraska’s social scene—but their future is suddenly uncertain. 😬

SC Labs’ expert Jeff Dingman and others weigh in on how this trend took off and why quality testing should be top of mind if these products stick around.

When testing systems fail, consumers pay the price.

A recent ProPublica and Denver Gazette investigation highlighted vulnerabilities in Colorado’s cannabis testing system—particularly around how product samples are selected and transported.

At a public policy forum, Kareem Kassem, Quality and Regulatory Director at SC Labs, advocated for some safeguards that help producers demonstrate transparency and trust for their consumers.

SC Labs doesn’t just test products—we help our clients build trust in their products through safe testing, and actively participate in meetings to know where the regulators are heading.

Because protecting consumers protects the future of cannabis.

A milestone for h**p beverages—and a reminder that greater visibility brings greater scrutiny.

Chicago’s United Center is set to sell h**p-derived THC drinks at live events, signaling how quickly this category is going mainstream. With potential federal changes looming, brands and venues need to stay ahead on formulation, labeling, and defensible testing to reduce risk and protect consumer trust.

At SC Labs, we encourage brands to test beyond the bare minimum…not as a checkbox, but as a way to build long-term credibility for the category.

The future of cannabis quality is being shaped right now by the people who understand it best. This MG Magazine article breaks down new research on scent compounds, the role of preservation, and why quality can disappear after harvest if not protected. SC Labs’ Alec Dixon calls out the industry’s biggest blind spot: a missing cold-chain system.

“Without a [cold supply chain] preservation strategy, the industry faces a slow loss of customer satisfaction…Farmers invest their lives in growing this herb perfectly, but once it leaves their hands 80 percent of the value is lost. Shelf life is determined by how it’s treated on the way to the consumer.”
