Merril Gilbert, founder and CEO of TraceTrust, explains the importance of TraceTrust as a third-party certification of cannabis-infused edibles.

Merril Gilbert, founder and CEO of TraceTrust: It definitely starts right there: so, what am I getting, how is it supposed to be used? Whether that is taken [or] ingested, whether it’s inhaled, whether it’s put on topically. It’s a lot unknown. Yes, people have been getting high for a long time on THC and cannabis, but this is moving into this health and wellness.
