    http://patientfocusedcertification.org/standards-development/ahp-monograph/Established in 1995, the American
    Herbal Pharmacopoeia (AHP) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) California- based
    organization with a mission to promote the responsible use of herbal
    products and herbal medicines. The AHP produces critically reviewed
    documents called monographs that outline the quality control criteria
    needed for ensuring the identity, purity, and quality of botanical raw
    materials.

    Each monograph also presents a
    complete and critical review of the traditional and scientific
    literature regarding the efficacy and safety of herbal medicines and
    includes information on specific products such as tinctures and
    extracts. In 2011, the AHP began the development of a Cannabis Monograph
    and a Therapeutic Compendium for Cannabis. The first edition of the
    Cannabis Monograph was released in 2013 and provides scientifically
    valid standards for companies engaged in laboratory analysis of
    cannabis, cannabis-derived products and hemp products with regards to:

    Ensuring the identity, quality, purity, and potency of cannabis, cannabis-derived and hemp products;
    Reporting, analytic equipment calibration and method validation;
    And, ensuring product safety by identifying safe levels of pesticides, metals, and microbial limits.
