<p>Colorado: With the impending legalization of cannabis in Colorado, entrepreneurs and researchers finally have the opportunity to do more with cannabis than ever before.
While it's common to think of cannabis growers and dispensaries as the quintessential images of cannabis legalization and availability - the ability to buy and smoke flower - there are still two major elements of the cannabis production cycle that make up the key elements of the upcoming cannabis economy.
In addition to inhaling smoke, companies are not only developing ways to consume cannabis, but labs are also forming the essential elements of the production cycle by determining the exact quality of the product to be sold.
Take Dixie Elixirs and CannLabs for example, two unique companies that have established scientific niches in the Colorado market.
Dixie Elixirs has positioned itself as the Pepsi of cannabis. They are a cannabis-infused product company with a wide range of cannabis products, from soft drinks to chocolate, from mints to salves. Meanwhile, CannLabs is poised to dominate the cannabis quality testing market in post-legalization Colorado.
Let's take a look at what makes them so special.
Their products are ubiquitous in the Denver cannabis market, and with good reason. These companies are going to be huge.
Dixie Elixirs' center is no different than any other food processing facility's center: it's a kitchen.

But it's in the backroom where the real prize is. The active ingredient in cannabis is cannabinoid oil, and this machine - designed by a former U.S. Navy nuclear submarine technician and marketed by his company, Apeks Supercritical - separates these oils through a carbon dioxide extraction process.

The cannabis they use to get these oils would otherwise be the waste of the cannabis plantation - the cannabis byproducts, while still containing the oil that conveys the "high," cannot be smoked or sold to customers as flower.

But once cannabis-infused product companies like Dixie Elixirs produce them, they need to make sure they know exactly what they're selling. That's where businesses like CannLabs come in.

CannLabs analyzes cannabis infused products as well as other products such as hashish concentrates.
For example, they will use this high-performance liquid chromatograph - standard precision analytical equipment found in any sophisticated chemistry lab - to analyze solutions they make, such as a cannabis-infused beverage, to find the concentration of cannabinoids.
