Color Remediation Column (CRC) is used to remediate the color of cannabis extracts to a more appealing color. A significant portion of legal cannabis companies that are using this process are using failed flower/ trim that cannot be used for "consumption," whether they have mold, pesticides, heavy metals, or other contaminants that are found in their start product. They are using failed products to create extracts via use of the CRC technology. In addition to this concern, the filters used as a media for the CRC filtering process are known to cause cancer and are deadly. Due to the lack of cannabis research in the United States (due to cannabis being a Schedule I substance) there is not adequate human studied research for the short/ long-term effects that humans will experience via these processes. Which raises concern about the damage it will do to the health of its consumers. There are not any current regulations on the use of CRC tech. As patients, consumers, advocates, and industry professionals, we call for immediate attention to the regulation of CRC and any other technology that does not have product safety regulations. 

To advance this petition, we ask that you call your state representative to Demand that your State & all Legalized Cannabis Companies Comply with CRC Tech Regulations!
