I got quite a few so this may be scattered, and the only spot that people i know use is iron labs so they are my only example. First and foremost it seems a bit silly to put a stamp of approval on some meds where only a gram is brought in for a sample, what about the rest of the crop? Ive seen iron labs tested meds with a no mold readout and cracked a cola of said meds and seen a huge web of white mold. So this guy can walk around with this readout and claim the shit is clean. Second ive puffed numerous 19-21% and all of them were no better than cousin kind, with no highs. Ive smoked in my opinion some of the most kill in this state, and it was tested at under 15%. Does thc percentage not mean much or do these guys not clean and calibrate their equipment after every test? Who is to say really, they could be back there rolling fucking dice for all anyone knows. Ive also seen a test on their site that has 0.00 readout on every category, ok..... And how does everyone have a fucking 8% moisture readout?? Whether its spongy and wet or dry as a bone its reading 8% . Again not to attack iron labs its just they are the only spot that i have any experience with, ive wondered this for most of these places

This is precisely the issue with cannabis testing laboratories. What standards are there? What policy and protocol?

The best is the dispensarys who save the test results from last year and use them for the batch they have today...i also agree way to much shit they have testing in the 20's is straight garbage.

there are standards sea but the problem is that the dispensary's are using test data from a different sample
for instance, the 8 % moisture is because the lab dried the sample to 8% as a "standard" before it weighed out a sample, say 0.1 gram and dissolved it into 40 ml of ethanol as a standard that all samples must be to test so that you have valid data
now the op stated that all the test results show 8% moisture and yet it was obvious there were varying moisture content just proves that the test results were from different samples and the establishment he was at is full of shit
it has zero to do with iron labs credibility

fwiw

I knew goblin would be in this thread fast. Credible testing is possible but current industry standard testing is pretty worthless.

the biggest source of confusion regarding testing is folks using a test result to label all the future examples
ie. joe blow has a stellar indoor run of blue dream and tests one of the frostiest buds that has been carefully handled to retain trichomes and gets a test result of %18 thc
now his brother grows it out in the rainy ass hoh rain forest and harvests 4 weeks early due to mold, drys the plants bone dry and tosses a qp into a bag and man handles it for a few weeks before donating it to a access point while claiming it is 18% because that is what the test said

happens all the time

fwiw

Testing in the State of Michigan is a business. Take it for what it is.
You have to be quite involved with the medical movement/industry to even understand the bigger picture.

I wouldn't believe that shit hole (located in a hydroponics store) holds the seal for all smokable meds within the state. Give me a real lab. The quality control in that building doesn't give me the "golden seal" vibe. I'm pretty sure you can smoke cigarettes inside of that hydro store... Yea, I'll pass..

In Orygun it costs like $100 a test. Is that comparable to your state. A little steep for me. Maybe there is that much to it but.......
