Welcome to Veda Scientific
We protect patients by utilizing the best scientists, processes and equipment to verify the safety and effectiveness of cannabis concentrates, products and plants.
What We Do.
We understand that legal consumers of cannabis have the right to know that the cannabis they are consuming is free from any harmful contaminants and that the potency of the products can be clearly and reliably discerned from the products' labels. Veda Scientific analyzes cannabis for potency, residual pesticides, microbiological contaminants, mycotoxins, residual solvents and heavy metals utilizing the best testing equipment as well as our internally developed processes accredited by the International Organization for Standardization. Furthermore, we strive to help improve marijuana products and treatments by identifying specific cannabinoids and terpene profiles in marijuana samples and testing infused products for homogeneity.
Our customers- patients, doctors, governments and cultivators- rely on our results to ensure that all legal marijuana consumption is safe and effective.

Why We Do It.
As marijuana is legalized across the United States as well as the rest of the world, the earliest people with access are people with extremely serious medical conditions like cancer, AIDS, epilepsy, Parkinson’s and PTSD. The last thing they need is to consume a drug that hasn’t been properly analyzed to ensure that it doesn’t contain any harmful contaminants that might actually worsen their condition. Furthermore, consumers need to know, as they would for any other drug or supplement they might take, the strength or potency of the marijuana product they have purchased, so they can take proper doses to achieve the needed effects.
We founded Veda Scientific to not only protect people from harm, but to also allow them to safely use legal marijuana to improve their health and relive the terrible symptoms that many of them are forced to endure without the help of marijuana products.
Cannabis is an amazing plant with extremely powerful potential. But, like all other agriculture products, the harvested product may contain unwanted contaminants that could endanger the lives of people consuming the product- especially for those that are already suffering from an illness. Additionally, the products produced from cannabis have an incredibly wide range of potency, and consumers without reliable information describing the strength of their marijuana product could find themselves taking completely inappropriate dosages.

Our Expertise.
Businesses are no stronger than the people behind them, and Veda Scientific was built by great people. Dr. Aldwin Anterola, co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Veda Scientific is the foundation of our expertise. Dr. Anterola received his Ph.D. in Plant Physiology in 2001 and has served as a University professor in the field since 2003. He built one of the first ISO 17025 accredited marijuana testing labs licensed by the State of Illinois, is licensed by the Drug Enforcement Administration to conduct research on Schedule I controlled substances and is an assessor for an accrediting body to evaluate laboratories for the compliance and competence in chemical and biological testing according to ISO 17025 guidelines. In addition to serving as our Chief Science Officer, Dr. Anterola continues to serve as an Associate Professor at Southern Illinois University and serves as the agent-in-charge for the university’s pilot industrial hemp program.
All of our laboratory, equipment, technical hires and testing procedures are approved by Dr. Anterola, because his experience specifically with marijuana and generally with all chemical and biological testing processes uniquely qualify him to make those decisions.
