Does Bedrocan use pesticides?

Many different types of pesticides can be used in cannabis cultivation, but none are approved for use in cannabis. They are very harmful to patients’ health. Therefore, Bedrocan does not use any pesticides. During the cultivation process Bedrocan only uses biological crop protectors to repel harmful insects. In addition, Bedrocan only grows cannabis indoors, so that pesticides used by farmers outdoors cannot cause contamination.

The absence/presence of microorganisms

During cultivation the cannabis plant can host harmful microorganisms like fungi and bacteria which can end up in the finished product. Strict hygiene measures prevent contamination with germs. Still decontamination treatment by gamma irradiation is required to eliminate microorganisms such as Staphylococcus Aureus and Escherichia Coli. The process does not affect the quality of the finished product.

The absence/presence of heavy metals

The cannabis plant can quickly take up heavy metals from soil – termed heavy metal bio-accumulation. Every batch is checked for the presence of harmful heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury.

Independent tests

Bedrocan’s cannabis products are independently tested by a specialised laboratory. The test the laboratory undertakes include the absence/presence of pesticides, heavy metals and microorganisms. This test ensures the finished product does not contain any contamination. The test results of medicinal cannabis produced by Bedrocan in the Netherlands can be checked in the release certificates.
