Which in turn, will protect and empower the consumer, and redefine an industry.
OUR VISION
To be the most trusted cannabis testing lab in the United States and to shape the future of the cannabis industry by creating unprecedented value for our clients, opportunity for our employees, and protection for consumers.
MOST TRUSTED CANNABIS LAB
Modern Canna ensures that results found in every final report and certificate of analysis (COA) issued, are verifiable, reproducible, and legally defensible. It is our firm belief and civic duty to ensure consumer safety. We do this by relentlessly validating our processes and focusing primarily on accuracy.
FLORIDA'S FIRST
Modern Canna was the first lab involved in Florida's medical marijuana rule development process and the first lab in the state to test medical marijuana.
LEAFLY CERTIFIED
Modern Canna is the only Leafly certified laboratory in the eastern United States. Leafly assesses and selects laboratories based on the latest scientific technology, analytical services offered, inter-laboratory studies, data integrity policies, and the quality control systems in place.
CORE VALUES
ACCURACY
Validated testing methodologies and staff with 5+ decades of experience ...working in industry-leading commercial labs.
EFFICIENCY
High throughput instrumentation and rapid turnaround times. Advanced ...Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and fully automated client portal.
INTEGRITY
Along with being skilled, efficient, and experienced, our staff is morally ...sound. We behave ethically in all business activities and always demonstrate respect towards our clients and staff. The glaring issue is not only a lack of universally standardized methods for testing cannabis products, but also a lack of morally and ethically sound providers. Laboratory fraud is unacceptable. The laboratory is sacred, existing as an outside party to give you the truth, no matter how difficult that truth might be.
TRANSPARENCY
Our clients receive full quality control reports with every set of analytical ...data we produce, ensuring results are verifiable, reproducible, and legally defensible.
DEPENDABILITY
Every Modern Canna staff member, from lab director to lab technician, ...has a precise understanding of how to complete their laboratory functions, thoroughly and properly.
SUSTAINABILITY
Analytical data is the language that communicates information between ...a grower and their plants; it helps operators make adjustments and produce better products; it also helps consumers better understand their cannabis. Building long-term success in the cannabis industry requires consistency in production as well as building trust with consumers. Modern Canna’s validated data is the tool that helps our clients accomplish these goals. Modern Canna continues to set a standard that industry leaders can use to produce quality products. Quality data is the core foundation of any laboratory and the initial building-block for cannabis producers who truly care about growth and sustainability.

Our Background
Our founders have 5+ decades of experience operating industry-leading commercial labs, in phosphate, petroleum, and environmental industries. Back in 2012, while researching medical cannabis laws and regulations, we were troubled by the lack of third-party testing required for cannabis and cannabis-derived products. This was unacceptable, so we consulted with some of the original pioneer cannabis testing laboratories, only to find a much larger problem; the testing being performed in other states was incomprehensible and the data was not being validated in any way. Modern Canna set out on a mission to ensure that Florida’s medical marijuana patients would receive the most advanced and accurate cannabis testing services available in the country.
