FOCUS

FOCUS The Cannabis Health & Safety Organization. Protecting public health, consumer safety, and safeguarding the environment. Independent. Unbiased. Impartial.

FOCUS is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that develops international, cannabis-specific standards and third-party certification for the cannabis industry to protect public health, consumer safety, and safeguard the environment. FOCUS is the first organization to create voluntary-consensus standards suitable for accreditation and adoption into regulations by assuring impartiality, balance and

transparency in the development process. Unlike most standards-setting organizations, FOCUS does not accept dues or fees for standards development. FOCUS is not a regulatory agency, advocacy organization or industry trade association. This autonomy fosters a principled, objective environment in which comprehensive standards can be developed. FOCUS Standards provide current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) guidelines for all key areas of the cannabis industry including Cultivation, Retail, Extraction, Infused Products, Laboratory, Security, Sustainability, and Packaging & Labeling.

Our Story

Established in 2014 as The Cannabis Health and Safety Organization, FOCUS is a federal, 501c3 non-profit that addresses the many shortcomings in quality, safety, and consistency that have become evident with the explosive growth of the global cannabis industry. FOCUS is not a cannabis company, an industry trade association, nor an advocacy organization. FOCUS is an unbiased, third-party with no financial stake in – or funding from – the cannabis industry. FOCUS does not advocate on behalf of or push cannabis policy. FOCUS exists to help assure the rapidly growing global cannabis industry has the necessary protections in place for the health, safety, success, and welfare of everyone. This autonomy fosters a principled, objective organization that protects end users, and acts as the much-needed neutral, nonpartisan bridge between industry and regulatory. FOCUS offers services to regulatory bodies and cannabis operators including: Consulting, Gap Analysis, SOP Development, Application Writing, Risk Mitigation, Records Audits, and Certification. FOCUS standards provide current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) guidelines for all key areas of the cannabis industry. FOCUS Certification is currently available for Cultivation, Manufacturing, Laboratory, and Retail operations worldwide.
