Lab testing is an essential part of legal cannabis. Any cannabis product you purchase from a licensed facility must undergo tests by a state-accredited lab. Here’s how to understand those tests.

With cannabis research finally expanding, we’re beginning to understand how the chemical composition in cannabis strains affects the body. A more accurate measure of strains is identifying cannabinoid and terpene composition and how they combine to create unique effects.

While cannabis can create a high, it’s important to note that the cannabis plant has hundreds of different cannabinoids and terpenes that can yield various outcomes depending on how you use them. Read more about that here.
