#Repost @cannabiz.md ・・・ In any industry, third-party or independent lab testing validates the manufacturer’s safety and label claims on any product intended for consumption. The cannabis industry is no different. Before these products can be sold to the medical cannabis patient or adult use consumer, they must be tested in a third-party lab where they are processed through several different quality assurance controls. This information conveys to medical cannabis patients and consumers about the identity, quality, and purity of that specific cannabis product to ensure patient and consumer safety. In the U.S., most of the legal cannabis market states require licensed cultivators, manufacturers, and distributors to present passing Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for their inhalable and non-inhalable products to reach the consumer but the extent of the testing requirements vary. Some labs have developed their methods to ensure inflated cannabinoid results, including high THC percentages, when sharing COAs due to the nature of concentrated or higher testing products having a greater market value to consumers. Alternatively, growers can also submit “spiked” samples to the lab to boost their results. For this reason, some states require the lab technician to go to the grow site and select their own samples for analysis. Alina Butler, a molecular biologist, explains the different tests that are done on cannabis products from determining the specific cannabinoid percentages in a sample to whether or not dangerous toxins are present.
