Trichome Analytical, an accredited cannabis and hemp testing lab based in Mount Laurel Township, announced June 23 that it earned New Jersey’s first annual license for testing within the adult-use cannabis program.
“I am proud that the first adult-use license has been issued to a New Jersey-based small business, and honored to represent other small businesses seeking to get established in this industry in their home state,” Trichome Analytical Founder and COO Kristen Goedde said in a statement.
“My goal has always been to ensure that products are tested accurately, with consumer safety and transparency as the priorities,” Goedde continued. “This is a very important step in getting the industry to that point.” The statement added that the lab was hopeful New Jersey’s Cannabis Regulatory Commission will begin approving annual licenses for plant-touching businesses in upcoming public meetings.
