<H3>Advancing Cannabis Warehousing and Distribution</H3>
<p>CSQ’s new program, CSQ Warehousing & Distribution, aligns with accredited current Good Distribution Practices (cGDP).

This strategic move aims to standardize operations at legal warehousing and distribution locations, ensuring that cannabis products maintain their integrity throughout the supply chain.</p>
<H3>Innovative Retail Standards for Cannabis Products</H3>
<p>Furthering its commitment to industry advancement, CSQ has introduced new standards for retail environments under the CSQ Retail and CSQ Deli-Style Retail certifications. Both are compliant with current Good Handling Practices (cGHP), focusing on the proper sale of cannabinoid products at legal retail outlets. These standards aim to provide clarity and uniformity in global cannabinoid product sales, accommodating both traditional and specialized retail formats to enhance consumer trust and product safety.</p>
<H3>Public Engagement and Feedback</H3>
<p>CSQ is actively seeking public feedback on these initiatives as part of its transparent approach to industry regulation. The commentary period, open from July 1 to July 31, 2025, encourages contributions from industry professionals and the public. Interested parties can access the Public Comment Package for CSQ Retail, CSQ Warehousing & Distribution, and the CSQ Dietary Supplement Addendum on CSQ’s homepage, providing a structured platform for submitting substantive feedback.</p>
<p>With these new standards, CSQ reaffirms its position as a leader in establishing safety and quality benchmarks in the rapidly evolving cannabis industry.
