A Research-Driven Inquiry Into 'Endotoxin On Cannabis' - Cannabis Business Executive - Cannabis and Marijuana industry news
About a month ago, Kevin McKernan, the founder and CSO of Massachusetts-based Medicinal Genomics, which also produces the CannMed conferences, posted online a rerecording of the Endotoxin on Cannabis presentation…

“There are other studies done in other states where they’ve gone and looked at what are the endotoxin levels in trimming rooms, and these came back showing that 40 percent of the employees are exposed to endotoxin levels that exceed the DECOS limits,” noted McKernan, adding, “The DECOS limits came out of the Netherlands, [which has] done a lot of work on this, and they test around 90 EU (endotoxin units) per cubic meter.”
probably all burned up in the cherry of the joint ... so, nothing to see here, move along ...The current inquiry needed to confirm the results from that research as well as other studies that looked into the risks from endotoxin, with one glaring exception. “We can’t find anything in the literature measuring [endotoxin] on cannabis flower,” said McKernan. “How frequent is it?” Needless to say, they decided to bring in an endotoxin assay to measure it. The results were eye-opening.
“Total aerobic count test came back with equivalent endotoxin test, and they were orders of magnitude over the DECOS limits,” noted McKernan. “On all the flower surveyed, we’ve yet to find flower that doesn’t have endotoxin. In fact, I don’t think we found one yet that’s below the DECOS limit. So, they are very high.”
