GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practice), on the other hand, governs the agricultural side \u2013 how plant-based raw materials are grown and harvested. These two frameworks are interconnected: only when GACP and GMP work seamlessly together can the pharmaceutical quality of cannabis flowers be guaranteed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Change is coming after nearly 20 years<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is currently revising the GACP guidelines, which have remained unchanged since 2006. After nearly two decades, an update is long overdue \u2013 the market for herbal medicines has changed a lot since then, including medical cannabis.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A closer alignment with GMP requirements is expected as part of the revision. While quality checks have always been necessary, the previous rules left room for interpretation. The new guideline is likely to spell out these requirements more explicitly, providing greater clarity. Documentation obligations are also expected to become more stringent. In the future, producers will need to demonstrate without gaps every step a plant undergoes from cultivation through to the finished product. Finally, more extensive validations will be required \u2014 a point that comes with investments, whether in systems, or digital tools for traceability in systems and tools for quality management.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cFor us in Quality Management, the key point is this: the new GACP guideline does not fundamentally change our day-to-day operations, it simply describes existing requirements in a more precise way. This reduces room for interpretation and creates more clarity. It also makes it easier for us to coordinate with new suppliers to ensure that the highest quality standards are maintained. In the long run, the entire market will benefit from the more efficient availability of new, safe, and high-quality products.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2657\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cansativa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Richard-Cannabisbriefing.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"161\" height=\"161\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dr. Richard B\u00f6ser, Vice President of Quality at Cansativa<\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">More trust through clear standards<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The new requirements are not a revolution \u2014 the quality of medical cannabis has always been safeguarded by the GMP process. What the revised GACP guideline does is shift the focus earlier in the chain: it ensures, better than before, that quality is consistently documented and secured right from cultivation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For patients, this doesn\u2019t change the end result \u2014 they have always been able to rely on safe products. But the added clarity brings greater transparency, reduces room for interpretation, and makes cooperation across the supply chain easier. For the young medical cannabis industry, this is an opportunity to further strengthen efficiency and trust \u2014 and to secure its place in the European healthcare system for the long term.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;150887&#8243;]<strong>Anything else?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you have specific questions or suggestions for the Cannabis Briefing?
