Medical Cannabis as a Pharmaceutical: Microbiological Risk and Quality Control


 

There is a continuing interest in the established and potential therapeutic properties of medical cannabis. These properties are due to cannabinoids, which are a group of compounds present in cannabis. As this interest continues in medicinal cannabis, the quality of medicinal cannabis needs to be strengthened. This means applying a robust microbiological standard. This also means the same standards applied as they would to any other pharmaceutical preparation.

 

This article considers the microbiological aspects; a previous article looked at the analytical methods and outcomes in relation to medicinal cannabis manufacturing (and the first article in this series considered medical and pharmaceutical cannabis products in general).
