It’s been an exciting time here at Vibe By California! Today, we had the distinct honor of hosting an on-site visit from the California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC)
at our cultivation facility, accompanied by a special interview with Sydney Lupkin—an esteemed health correspondent from NPR known for her coverage of national drug policies, the pharmaceutical industry, and consumer health topics.
We couldn’t be more thrilled to share a behind-the-scenes look into our regulated cannabis
operations and give an up-close view of the passion and precision that go into every product bearing the Vibe name.
Who is Sydney Lupkin?
For those unfamiliar, Sydney Lupkin is an award-winning journalist at NPR
who focuses on health news and policy. She has a strong track record of insightful reporting, often delving into important topics such as prescription drug pricing, health regulations, and the complexities of America’s evolving cannabis landscape. Her experience and dedication to thorough research made her the perfect guest to explore our cultivation process and learn about the stringency of California’s cannabis regulations.
A Proud Moment for Vibe By California
Having both Sydney Lupkin and representatives from the DCC
at our cultivation site was a clear reflection of how far the legal cannabis market
has come. We’ve always held ourselves to the highest standards of quality, safety, and transparency, so we were delighted to showcase:
Our State-of-the-Art Cultivation Practices
From climate control and advanced irrigation to nutrient management and pest prevention, our facility is designed to nurture each plant through its entire life cycle—germination, vegetative growth, flowering, and post-harvest curing.
Rigorous Testing Protocols
Before our products ever reach the shelves, they’re tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbial contaminants. We believe every consumer has the right to know exactly what they’re putting into their body, and these protocols help maintain our unwavering commitment to health and safety.
Our Dedication to Compliance
Beyond our own internal guidelines, we strictly adhere to all state regulations set forth by the DCC. Compliance isn’t just about meeting requirements; it’s about demonstrating that legal, transparent cannabis production can elevate the entire industry—and protect consumers in the process.
Celebrating Regulated Cannabis
During the interview, we had the chance to emphasize why we feel so strongly about the regulated market—and why the illicit market poses significant risks:
- Consumer Safety:
Illicit products are not subject to stringent testing, which means they can contain harmful contaminants, inaccurate potency levels, or misleading labels.
- Quality Assurance:
Legal cannabis cultivators must follow detailed standards, ensuring consistent quality and reliable product information for consumers.
- Community Benefit:
The regulated market generates tax revenue that can be reinvested in local infrastructure, education, and health initiatives, helping build stronger communities across California.
For Vibe By California, being part of this regulated ecosystem is an immense source of pride. We firmly believe that the future of cannabis hinges on maintaining these high standards—protecting both consumers and the integrity of the plant itself.
Looking to the Future
As the legal cannabis industry continues
to evolve, we remain committed to leading by example. Our team is constantly exploring:
- New Cultivation Techniques:
To enhance sustainability and reduce environmental impact.
- Innovative Cultivars:
Tailored to meet diverse consumer
needs, from wellness-focused tinctures to terpene-rich flower strains.
- Educational Initiatives:
We want to empower consumers with knowledge about responsible use, proper dosing, and the many benefits of regulated cannabis.
We’re deeply grateful to the DCC for their recognition of our efforts and to Sydney Lupkin for taking the time to visit our facility. Her expertise and commitment to thorough reporting help illuminate the nuances of cannabis regulation—and showcase the positive strides California has made in building a safer, more transparent market.
