As cannabis becomes more regulated and sophisticated, terms like remediation are popping up more often in the industry. But what exactly does cannabis remediation mean — and why should you care? Let’s break it down.
The Basics of Cannabis Remediation
Cannabis remediation is a process used to “fix” batches of cannabis that fail state-mandated testing for things like mold, mildew, yeast, pesticides, heavy metals, or microbial contamination. Essentially, remediation attempts to remove or reduce these contaminants to make the product pass testing and become legally sellable.
Remediation methods can include:
- Ozone treatment
- Gamma irradiation
- Solvent washes and extraction
- Heat treatments
- Chemical processes
While these techniques can make cannabis technically compliant with state testing standards, they often come with a trade-off: the natural integrity of the flower may be compromised. Flavor, aroma, cannabinoid profiles, and terpene content can all be altered or diminished through remediation.
Why Does Remediation Exist?
Sometimes cannabis cultivators face issues: poor growing conditions, bad storage, environmental contaminants, or even simple mistakes can lead to a failed batch. Rather than destroy the crop, remediation offers a way to recover some of the investment.
But for consumers, this raises a serious question: Do you want to consume cannabis that had to be “fixed” before it could be sold?
