Cannabis product testing is product testing of the properties of cannabis destined for consumer use. Production of "high-grade marijuana" has become "more or less standardized" to include professional analytical laboratory testing for cannabinoid content, moisture, and toxins to include unsafe growth accelerants, heavy metals, pesticides, and adulterants. As of 2017 some U.S. states impose testing of such cannabis. Calls have been made to unify cannabis industry standards with existing testing organizations such as ASTM International (ASTM D37), or International Standards Organization (ISO/IEC 17025). Accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 can be provided by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation. Advocates of testing have cited contamination with mold, bacteria, pesticides, solvents or illicit adulterants such as fentanyl. Lead, aluminum, and glass adulterants have also been reported, as a method of raising product weight. According to The Denver Post, the first government standards for testing were proposed in Colorado's legislature in 2015.
