Description
On March 31, 2025, the Society for Cannabis Clinicians (SCC) posted an article on the evidence for Aspergillus pathogen testing (A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, and A. terreus) in Cannabis authored by members of the Cannabis Industry Alliance of Oregon (CIAO). While we agree with these authors that the cannabis microbial testing standards need considerable reform, we believe organizations in the testing community have a unique perspective on this problem. It is not uncommon for organizations like the CIAO (representing producers) to argue for reduced testing. We offer this data with acknowledgement of our own conflicts, since we are also vested in the cannabis testing market. However, we believe the best resolution to these opposing conflicts is data transparency.
