Welcome to the Physicians Cannabinoid Council
"Physicians Quality Verified" Seal Program
FOR CBD or OTHER CANNABINOID DERIVED PRODUCTS
YOU BELIEVE YOUR PRODUCTS ARE CLEAN, SAFE, AND EFFICACIOUS?
Here is your chance to distinguish your products from the cluster of brands on the market
The Physicians Cannabinoid Council believes great products and brands should be identified by a trusted party, for the safety of consumers and the benefit of the industry in general.
Today, the CBD (and other cannabinoids) market is flooded with products that are not trustworthy and could harm consumers. Nearly 35% to 40% of products found on the market are:
​
-
Fake products without potency or CBD in it
-
Tempered Certificate of Analysis (COA) (lab results)
-
Labels not reflecting accurately its content or dosage
-
Higher THC content than acceptable
-
Products containing toxic chemicals, heavy metal, mold, etc.
Many, in fact too many, products contain toxic chemicals, sometimes from packaging transfer, manufacturing process or ingredients.
This places at risk consumers who only see nicely designed labels and COAs that can hardly be understood or trusted.
Our Physicians decided to step-in to not regulate, but instead evaluate, test and verify product validity for the safety of consumers.
Outstanding brands, with quality efficacious products, are impacted by this crowded nebulous marketplace.
​
We bring clarity to consumers and value to truly good products
Survey Says
In a survey to consumers conducted by the PCC and Mace Media Group in 2022, a clear 89.5% of people said they would be inclined to buy a product bearing the Trusted Quality Seal from the Physicians Cannabinoid Council.
87% declared to have a low understanding of what products contain, and are not at ease with understanding Certificate of Analysis (COA (lab results)).
