The SLBS Committee will mirror the work of ASTM International Committee on Cannabis (ASTM D37) which brings together representatives of educational and research institutions, state and non-state actors with a wealth of knowledge and experience that will guide the participation in the ASTM committee and adoption of the appropriate standards.
