Why is it important to test cannabis?
When you order off a menu in a restaurant, you want to know what’s coming out on your plate, right? You trust the chef has taken precautions to ensure the food is safe and properly prepared because you want to know what you’re putting into your body, right? Well, the same applies to cannabis. Don’t put it into your body until you’re sure it’s been tested and safe to consume with no adverse effects.
Cannabis testing is vitally important for ensuring the health of the medical patient and recreational consumer. Each sample of cannabis has its own composition of THC, cannabinoids, and terpenes and it needs to be tested for all these variables to know the level of effect on each consumption.Kaycha Labs uses the latest technology to study and test the chemical composition of cannabis to be positively sure it’s safe for consumption. We then provide a detailed COA depicting the potency and stability of your cannabis sample.
We test cannabis for two main reasons:
Human Safety – Cannabis in its plant-form is a cotton ball that absorbs everything. The plant can be exposed to pesticides, heavy metals, insecticides, and dangerous additives. Anything and everything that has made its way to the farms either because of the harsh weather or the elimination of wastes from big industries is consumed by cannabis.
Therefore, testing cannabis is important to ensure human safety and minimizing the risk of their immunity. These tests are further used to ensure customers that the cannabis they will intake is free from all hazardous influences, unwanted residual solvents, other contaminants, metals, mycotoxins, and pesticides that can compromise a person's immune system.
Cannabis Potency – Testing is the only way to know the value of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (Cannabinoid) in marijuana. These are the variables that have helped consumers and doctors decide the proportion and usage of cannabis in a certain intake. It is important to know the whole chemical makeup of cannabis. Cannabis is affected by the environment it has been cultivated in. It does not matter that one of the similar natured cannabis grown in different areas should not be checked.
