About Canna Resourcing Associates

CANNA RESOURCING ASSOCIATES provides risk management-based consultancy and vendor servicing to the cannabis industry. We take a multi-pronged approach: helping investors, cultivators, brand manufacturers and distributors of cannabis products understand the inevitable—yet complex—statutory regulations proposed or implemented by state and local governments.

​As Quality & Compliance professionals, we understand the importance of managing organizational risks and making educated decisions based on objective evidence and grounded thinking. We believe that compliance and mitigating identified risk factors will be one of the most important concerns and realities that drive the cannabis industry forward, and our services will provide investors and companies with peace of mind.

We provide site-specific identification, development and implementation of required processes based on the results of risk-based assessment tools, such as initial “gap analysis” services. This data determines your level of compliance with regulations, standards and guidance documents, while ensuring that infrastructure, knowledge and culture is suitable to allowing the processes to be followed and appropriately documented. We also provide additional services, such as vetted independent cannabis testing labs and transportation and supply chain logistics, along with identifying and remedying security vulnerabilities.

 

Features Canna Resourcing Associates

SERVICES

Due Diligence

​Like buying a new vehicle, when contemplating the acquisition of a company or asset, you must be certain that everything is operable and there are no potential problems looming after purchase. The most effective way of doing this is by conducting a Regulatory Due Diligence Review. Once our experts have analyzed your available information and completed an expeditious, efficient, yet rigorous report, we will relay our assessment data to you. This could include general recommendations, regulatory hurdles, suggested next steps, go/no-go advice and more.
​Canna Resourcing Associates' Regulatory Due Diligence Review process will provide you with the appropriate information to make a decision. 

Turn-Key Quality Management Systems (QMS)

​Conformance and compliance to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) is critical to your business, your customers and an expectation by most regulatory bodies. Today's cannabis industry is complex and requires significant experience in GMPs to ensure compliance. Ensuring both your vendors and Contract Laboratory Organization (CLO) meets or exceeds regulations and standards is a must in today’s growing regulatory environment. To comply with states' regulatory body requirements, you must have robust quality systems and processes, and a well-defined supplier qualification process. 
 
Canna Resourcing Associates has the experience and expertise to perform and manage these processes for your organization.

​Facility / Quality Gap Analysis

​A Quality Management System (QMS) is comprised of all the processes needed to assure safe and effective products and services. Establishing processes for cleanliness, health and safety, security, production, equipment, and product testing and specifications—to name a few—are critical to the success of an organization in today's currently growing cannabis regulatory environment. We assess your facility and quality systems against current or proposed state regulations and industry standards, providing a detailed report of the gaps needing remediation, which are integral to developing a path to compliance.

Whether you are trying to obtain standards certification or just meet regulatory compliance, our Facility / Quality Gap Analysis experts will spend the required time on-site at your facility examining all aspects of your quality systems and manufacturing operations, so your organization knows exactly what is needed to meet your goals. ​

Third Party Services

​When you need cannabis standards certifications, laboratory analysis services, investment activities or legal assistance, Canna Resourcing Associates is there for you. We have developed strong strategic partnerships with industry organizations that provide expertise and peace of mind. You can feel secure knowing that all of our strategic partners have been rigorously vetted and meet the highest standards in the cannabis industry.
