DC Brands Plans to Provide Laboratory Testing Services to the Colorado Marijuana Industry
DENVER, April 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- DC Brands International, Inc. (OTCQB: HRDN) ("DC Brands" or the "Company"
is excited to announce that it is currently pursuing acquisition opportunities for the purpose of adding laboratory testing capabilities to its suite of services aimed at the rapidly expanding Colorado marijuana industry. It is expected that these lab services will have the capability to test all marijuana plant and derivative products, including edibles, waxes and oils, to determine the amount of THC and other elements in each sample. Recent national news reports have raised public concern over the level of THC found in edible marijuana products and whether two recent fatal incidents in Colorado were related to the use of such products. Colorado currently has no legal limit on THC content for medical marijuana edibles, but the Company anticipates that this will be changing in the near future.
Bob Armstrong, DC Brands' CEO and CFO stated, "We believe that the recent tragedies in Colorado related to the edibles market highlight the need for testing to ensure proper disclosure and consistency of THC levels in these products. We are currently in negotiations with a prominent Denver-based chemist to set up a laboratory for testing marijuana products and feel strongly that as this industry matures the need for accurate independent testing will be in high demand by growers and providers alike."
