DENVER, April 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- DC Brands
International, Inc. (OTCQB: HRDN) ("DC Brands" or the "Company") is
excited to announce that it is currently pursuing acquisition
opportunities for the purpose of adding laboratory testing
capabilities to its suite of services aimed at the rapidly
expanding Colorado marijuana
industry. It is expected that these lab services will have the
capability to test all marijuana plant and derivative products,
including edibles, waxes and oils, to determine the amount of THC
and other elements in each sample. Recent national news
reports have raised public concern over the level of THC found in
edible marijuana products and whether two recent fatal incidents in
Colorado were related to the use
of such products. Colorado
currently has no legal limit on THC content for medical marijuana
edibles, but the Company anticipates that this will be changing in
the near future.
Bob Armstrong, DC Brands' CEO and
CFO stated, "We believe that the recent tragedies in Colorado related to the edibles market
highlight the need for testing to ensure proper disclosure and
consistency of THC levels in these products. We are currently
in negotiations with a prominent Denver-based chemist to set up a laboratory
for testing marijuana products and feel strongly that as this
industry matures the need for accurate independent testing will be
in high demand by growers and providers alike."
