// Definition
The practice of applying dairy industry microbial testing standards to cannabis products as a regulatory proxy, since no cannabis-specific testing standards existed. Labs in Berkeley pushed milk standards as the closest available framework for an ingestible product.
// From the Episode
Etienne Fontan explained that cannabis testing was borrowing from other industries rather than developing cannabis-specific standards. A lab in Berkeley tried to push milk standards because that was the closest available framework for an ingestible product, highlighting the gap between available testing protocols and the actual science of cannabis ingestion.
