Toronto: 2005
CAT (working title) Cannabinoid Analysis Test kits are being launched in Toronto in May 2005. CAT could revolutionize the already-legal medical cannabis market in Canada.
CAT is a quick, easy-to-use and affordable cannabis analysis test kit that will now be available across Canada and online at www********. Not only is CAT itself inexpensive to buy, it uses only a tiny sample--100milligrams--of the cannabis (or 50mg of resin) to be analyzed, and provides a qualitative assay (report) on the presence of THC and 5 other cannabinoids: THV, CBC, CBG, CBD, and CBN. CAT also measures the amount of acids, giving an indicator of how ‘fresh’ or ‘old’ the sample is. Results are determined in under an hour. CAT also contains everything you need to determine % THC (potency). Private lab tests, if available, require larger samples, are very expensive, and results can take anywhere from a week to a month. Furthermore, private labs, lacking confidentiality obligations to their clientele, are security risks.
For breeders, growers, medical cannabis clubs, and consumers alike, the benefits of such a kit are immediately obvious--over and above its ease of use and affordability, CAT promotes harm reduction and the effective use of cannabis.
Using the CAT's analyses:
* breeders can test for quality control, breeding traits, and quantify results of breeding and hybridization
* growers can use CAT to a) measure up-to-the-minute levels of their plants to determine ideal harvest time and end product quality and
quality control* medical cannabis consumers and clubs can track cannabinoid content of their menu items and establish which strain can target specific symptoms for a specific member – a.k.a. strain-symptom correlation
CAT will be available through retail stores and online and will make its marketing debut at Toronto's Global Marijuana March at Noon on Saturday, May 7, 2005, North Park, behind the Legislature, University Avenue.
Cannabinoids are, simply put, therapeutic compounds found in cannabis. A variety or ‘strain’ of cannabis that, for example, controls seizure may not be a helpful strain in controlling nausea. Matching the specific strain to the specific symptom has always been elusive at best. CAT is a powerful tool in determining these relationships. There are over 60 cannabinoidal compounds known to research, and they are organized into categories or ‘classes’ called Cannabinoids, which are known mainly by their 3-letter abbreviations. There are currently hundreds of strains of cannabis commercially available.
Small CAT kit SRP is $**** and contains approximately 10 tests
Large CAT kit SRP is $**** and contains approximately 55 tests
