Your CBD Store paves way for much needed industry regulations & standards

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, a long-time proponent of consumer protection, has called on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to implement regulations for the skyrocketing cannabinoid industry.

The thought of FDA oversight might send chills rippling through some purveyors of cannabinoids’, or CBD. But the people behind one nationwide CBD company not only welcome these regulations, they believe their corporate culture of transparency and self-regulation can set the standard for the industry as it moves forward, according to Clayton Percy, chief operating officer and general manager of Your CBD Stores in Milford & East Lyme (Connecticut’s Flagship retail locations for the Florida-based company).

Your CBD Store and its parent company, Floridabased SunFlora, cultivate and sell only high-quality Phyto-Cannabinoid Rich, or PCR, organic hemp products, specializing in tinctures, water solubles, topical creams, capsules, edibles, skin care and other high-end beauty products. Their process, through every aspect of production, is done through self-imposed, very strict and thorough guidelines. “We regulate everything from the soil to the oil and use the most advanced third-party lab testing available in the industry.” Percy said.

Percy, like Blumenthal, is passionate about the need to regulate CBD, and the infrastructure surrounding it. With consumers being thrust into a world with plenty of options, Your CBD Stores have become a benchmark in the industry for educating consumers on potential ways to improve their quality of life through CBD.

In recent news reports, Blumenthal said untested, unregulated CBD products could put consumers at risk. Percy believes consumers should know where the hemp is coming from, how it is grown, what strand of hemp is used, what process is employed to extract it, and whether that process involves harmful chemical solvents.

“Senator Blumenthal called it ‘the Wild Wild West.’ It is. There are good actors and there are bad actors. It shouldn’t be any actors. It should be the truth behind the plant science, and what’s healthy and safe for consumption,” Percy said.

Your CBD Store took no shortcuts in setting up their operation from the very beginning, utilizing every resource at their disposal, to ensure the production of only the highest quality hemp products. The hemp used to make Your CBD Store products are sourced only from a United States Department of Agriculture regulated farm in Colorado and then extracted at its CGMP & SQF level 3 FDA registered facility.

Your CBD Store extracts CBD from the plants using a special process which does not require the use of solvents or other chemicals. Percy and the Sun Flora company feel that this model should be the regulatory standards for CBD companies of tomorrow.
