Since the 2019 Vape Crisis, the cannabis industry has eagerly anticipated new standards and regulations regarding the production of vape cartridges and devices. The first to enforce new rules, the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) announced new regulations for the production and sales of cannabis oils.

As of January 1, 2022, “each harvest batch and production batch of regulated marijuana concentrate in a vaporized delivery device must be tested for metals contamination via emissions testing” by an accredited laboratory, according to the statement of adoption released last year (CCR 212-3).
