Steep Hill Labs, a multi-state cannabis testing company, has announced that it will soon operate in the US state of Mississippi.
Voters in the southern state approved medical cannabis legalization in last November’s election. Now Steep Hill intends to be one of the first companies to test the incoming swathe of medical products via a licensee partner.
“Steep Hill Mississippi, our new licensee partner, is a sophisticated operations group,” Nigel Stobart, Steep Hill’s CEO, said in a statement. “We are excited to partner with them to bring high quality, reliable compliance testing and customer service to Mississippi’s forthcoming medical market.”
Steep Hill Mississippi’s services are scheduled to be available in the third quarter of this year.
“Our laboratory will be strategically located in central Mississippi giving us the ability to support cultivators and processors throughout the state with timely pickup and quick turnaround analysis,” Mark Henderson, head of Steep Hill Mississippi, said in a statement.
