What does the panel actually cover?
| Group | Scope | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Cannabinoids | 11 analytes | Total THC after decarboxylation, not raw THCA |
| Terpenes | 21 compounds | The aroma profile, which predicts your evening |
| Pesticides | 66 screened | A detection above the action limit fails the batch |
| Heavy metals | 4 elements | Cannabis takes up what is in its soil |
| Microbials | Screened | Aspergillus, yeast and mould, E. coli, salmonella |
| Solvents | ~20 screened | Relevant to extracts, against category limits |
| Moisture | Measured | Whether the jar holds its aroma or grows something |
Why potency is the least useful number
Potency is the easiest figure to print and the least informative to read, and its dominance has quietly shaped what growers grow: chase the percentage, lose the aroma. A batch that passes every purity screen at 19% with a rich terpene profile is a better purchase than a thin 31% that scraped through.
What happens when a batch fails
It does not go on sale and it does not quietly go to another retailer. A failed batch is quarantined and destroyed under the state disposal rules with the manifest filed. That is the expensive part of this standard and the entire point of it.
This is not medical advice. Nothing here is a
therapeutic claim, and nobody at Cannalab47 is qualified to give one. Cannabis
affects people differently. Adults 21+ only.
