CRANBURY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cannabis Science and Technology^® and Nutritional Outlook^® are pleased to launch a free, live, five-part editor’s webcast series titled CBD: The Road to Quality.

This unique series will take place during 2021, leveraging the expertise of these industry-leading publications and delivering insight and best practices on critical issues such as cultivation, extraction, processing, testing, third-party certifications, and much more.

Quality control is a crucial problem in the hemp cannabidiol (CBD) market. The quality gap is widening as more products enter the space. Government regulators, industry critics, and responsible market players understand many products in the market are failing to meet label claims.

During this session, hemp cultivation experts will explore the best practices and methods for controlling tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content. Experts will also provide an update on the legal landscape and challenges facing the industry.
