WEBINAR: Cannabis Product Recalls: What They Mean for the Health of Patients & Cannabis Programs
Join Americans for Safe Access (ASA) for a Roundtable discussion on cannabis product recalls with key stakeholders to discuss the basics of recalls, how they work, what they mean for patients and consumer health, and why they signal a functioning cannabis regulatory system.
Following a series of cannabis recalls due to contamination, ASA released “What’s in Your Cannabis? A Patient & Consumer Guide to Navigating Cannabis Safety” and organized this webinar for our members to better understand the evolution of product safety regulations and what this means for patients and consumers.
