I understand It’s hard cause the DEA but is that on the radar or trying to test under the radar? Or both? is the equitment needed for testing expensive? Lol my mind is spinning. I’ve been in the entrepreneur mindset recently. I’m all for testing products to and at least axel seems to be doing that. No offense to jano but how sure are we that jano doesn’t receive backstage money? I feel like having another domestic solid 3rd party lab would be super beneficial.It's hard to get around DEA regs in the US for analytic labs.
I LCMS/HPLC tested gear for friends when going through grad school and had the access to both the reference samples and spectrometry/chromatography gear, but could've gotten hit hard for it if it was discovered. This was like 8 years ago.
I help run a cannabis extraction and analytics lab now, and even that's a regulatory nightmare in legal states sometimes. Thankfully the DEA is stepping back and rescheduling cannabis to schedule 3 this summer.
It's just way too hard to get regulatory clearance for commercial testing operations for scheduled substances in the US.
Educational testing can be done with clearance from the NIH in order to test street drugs, but good luck finding a lab with that accreditation that has reference samples for anabolic steroids.
Removing the commercial aspect from the allowability really screws things. Cannabis testing only works because of the department of justice missive to lay off state cannabis regulations.
