CenturionPro Solutions is gearing up for a successful 2018! We are exploring new product development, expanding our sales and looking to attend several trade shows this season. The next of which is the THC Fair in Salem, Oregon!

The State of Oregon was one of the first states to legalize medical and recreational marijuana use for adults over 21. They also maintain an OLCC marijuana licensing program for dispensaries looking to sell to recreational users.

THC Fair

THC Fair

The Hemp & Cannabis Fair (THC Fair) brings everything hemp & cannabis under one roof and takes place across Oregon, California, Nevada and Alaska where marijuana is legal. The Salem event will be held on April 14 and 15 in Salem, Oregon – and CenturionPro Solutions will be there!

The goal of the THC fair is to “further the normalization of cannabis and raise awareness for industrial hemp globally by focusing on education and celebration at a local level”. We are looking forward to be part of this years event. Can’t wait to meet everyone!

GMP refers to the Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations promulgated by the US Food and Drug Administration under the authority of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (See Chapter IV for food, and Chapter V, Subchapters A, B, C, D, and E for drugs and devices.) These regulations, which have the force of law, require that manufacturers, processors, and packagers of drugs, medical devices, some food, and blood take proactive steps to ensure that their products are safe, pure, and effective. GMP regulations require a quality approach to manufacturing, enabling companies to minimize or eliminate instances of contamination, mixups, and errors. This in turn, protects the consumer from purchasing a product which is not effective or even dangerous. Failure of firms to comply with GMP regulations can result in very serious consequences including recall, seizure, fines, and jail time.

GMP regulations address issues including record keeping, personnel qualifications, sanitation, cleanliness, equipment verification, process validation, and complaint handling. Most GMP requirements are very general and open-ended, allowing each manufacturer to decide individually how to best implement the necessary controls. This provides much flexibility, but also requires that the manufacturer interpret the requirements in a manner which makes sense for each individual business.

GMP is also sometimes referred to as “cGMP”. The “c” stands for “current,” reminding manufacturers that they must employ technologies and systems which are up-to-date in order to comply with the regulation.
