MediJean, a medical marijuana company based in Richmond, is attempting to define the quality assurance standards that it believes must be met by all involved in the industry.
"Quality assurance is an initiative that we are taking seriously," said Jean Chiasson, chief executive officer at MediJean.
"We have built a team that will ensure our standards meet or exceed the safety, quality
and consistency of a 'Ready to Eat Food' product.
"It is our policy at MediJean to not only deliver quality, but breed it, to guarantee that patients who use our medicine get the best medical marijuana available."
The Richmond News reported late last year how MediJean was backing the City of Richmond's move to restrict and control the amount and location of medical marijuana
facilities. Pete Martin, who has more than 35 years of experience in the quality assurance, quality control and quality services field, leads MediJean's quality assurance team.
He has implemented an organized, systematic approach to product safety and security from a bacterial, chemical and quality perspective.
This means keeping the plants safe and secure from contamination and poor growing conditions, while ensuring a rigorous anti-contamination plan is followed from the time the seed is planted, to the moment the medicine is shipped to the patient.
"By implementing these principles we will ensure the medicine we produce is mould free, without the use of gamma radiation," said Martin.
