Resolving Cannabis Odor Issues in Carpinteria

The Santa Barbara Independent published five stories in the past few weeks covering various cannabis developments all in Carpinteria Valley. As president of CARP Growers, our local cannabis farmers group, I wanted to share the farming industry’s perspective on the state of local cannabis farming.

Locally, the biggest challenge we have faced is controlling odor. CARP Growers has been working in partnership with the Santa Barbara Coalition for Responsible Cannabis for over a year as we use data, science and technology to advance how cannabis odor is eliminated in Carpinteria Valley. 

We are excited to share that continued investments by CARP Growers and member farms have led to the most detailed cannabis odor studies conducted to date. We know more about cannabis odor now than ever before, and new technology created for greenhouses has now been validated in third-party studies. In order to resolve odor impacts, the local industry has provided the investment and cooperation to advance new odor abatement products and technologies.
