“It is imperative that stakeholders come together to form cohesive cannabis guidelines and standards for this industry,” states the association’s founder and cannabis quality assurance expert, Atiyyah Ferouz. “The ICQSA serves as a platform for the international cannabis community to work collaboratively, exchange knowledge, and develop best practice guides that address the unique challenges associated with this plant.”

Claire Erickson, Industry Programs Manager at Boveda, a global leader in 2-way humidity control, echoes these sentiments. “Fortifying cannabis quality best practices around the world is paramount to long-term industry success. The dedication and experience of the ICQSA in advancing cannabis quality assurance mechanisms, such as water activity control, legitimizes the industry as a whole.”

By developing comprehensive cannabis best practice guides and standards across the cannabis supply chain, ICQSA builds trust and credibility among consumers, regulators, and the global cannabis community, paving the way for a thriving and regulated global cannabis supply chain.

Guides will be published and made available to the public, free of charge, on the ICQSA website.

It is time that we start moving away from operating within our respective silos and work towards a more unified cannabis landscape. Boveda is aligned with that mission, and we look forward to collaborating with cannabis markets around the globe that share our quality-first approach.”
