BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Coinciding with the Imperious Cannabis Business Expo in Little Rock, Arkansas, Steep Hill Arkansas will open its doors this evening to give key industry stakeholders a preview tour of the lab. Cannabis testing tours are planned every half hour and in anticipation of the forthcoming official opening next year, a dedication and green ribbon cutting ceremony will be held featuring prominent entrepreneur, activist, and author, Steve DeAngelo. "Having started the cannabis testing industry by co-founding the original Steep Hill lab in California, it is very satisfying to me personally to see that high-quality testing standards will be made available to patients in Arkansas. My life's work has been to insure this amazing plant can be made safely accessible to patients who need it and the opening of Steep Hill Arkansas is yet another step towards this goal," DeAngelo said.
