Abstract: Informal input was accumulated at the Cannabis Business Summit, National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA.) Attendees were encouraged to identify research for commercial Cannabis production (non-hemp.) While most attendees were from U.S.A., input also was received from the E.U. and Canada. Currently, some states require this crop to be grown only as CEA and must be free of all pesticides which is more stringent methods than the current USDA Certified Organic growers may use.
