Section 6.4: Safety Margins and Verification

Implementing proper safety margins and verification methods is crucial for maintaining consistent and safe cannabis dosing. This section covers best practices for ensuring accuracy and safety in cannabinoid calculations.

Safety Margin Principles

Buffer Zones[1]

  • Standard 10-15% margin[4]
  • High-potency product adjustments[5]
  • Individual sensitivity considerations[6]
  • Risk factor assessment

Tolerance Ranges[7]

  • Acceptable variation limits[8]
  • Product-specific margins
  • Testing accuracy factors
  • Environmental influences

Verification Methods

Verification is not just about confirming numbers—it's about establishing a reliable system for consistent and safe dosing. Always err on the side of caution and maintain detailed records of your verification processes.[2]

Laboratory Testing[3]

  • Third-party verification[4]
  • Testing methodology review[5]
  • Result interpretation
  • Batch consistency checks

Home Testing[6]

  • Available testing kits[7]
  • Calibration requirements
  • Result documentation
  • Limitation awareness

Quality Control Measures

Documentation[4]

  • Batch tracking systems[5]
  • Testing certificates
  • Process validation
  • Error reporting protocols

Equipment Calibration[8]

  • Scale accuracy checks
  • Measurement tool verification
  • Maintenance schedules
  • Calibration records
