MCC is proud to present this exclusive online training program:

CLEAN GREEN Pre-Certification Training

The CLEAN GREEN CERTIFICATION Program is a non-conflicted third party certification that was developed for medical cannabis crop production, processing and handling under California's Medical Marijuana Program.

The Certification Program was developed by Chris Van Hook, an attorney and USDA “Organic” Certifier, in response to the USDA’s decision that medical cannabis was not eligible for the USDA Organic Certification Program.

The CLEAN GREEN Certification Program is based on National Organic Program guidelines, used for the USDA “Organic” Certification Program, and other international guidelines for sustainable farming.

Inspectors and certifiers for the CLEAN GREEN Certification Program include USDA inspectors and certifiers who work year round, throughout the State, inspecting agricultural production, process and handling.

Who qualifies for Clean Green Certification?

Cultivators of medicinal cannabis under California's Medical Marijuana Program
and the processing and handling facilities for Collectives/Cooperatives operating under California's Medical Marijuana Program.
