"Missouri Marijuana Regulators Stand Firm on Lab Testing Rules Amid Product Recall Crisis"

The Missouri Division of Cannabis Regulation has defended its lab testing rules in response to questions about the effectiveness of its software for tracking marijuana products. The agency argued that regulations can only do so much when "bad actors" intentionally falsify records to evade oversight. The defense comes after a major product recall of THC-infused products purchased from a company accused of importing illegal marijuana products from other states. The company argues that it was importing federally legal hemp. The division stated that intentional falsification of records and non-compliance can lead to unreliable test results and potential health risks. Regulators are committed to investigating tracking and testing evasion or manipulation and treating them as serious violations.
