THC % in weed is misrepresented. It is not 20% ( eg) it is closer to 2 or 3% .

yes . that also means a plant with a higher thc rating on the package can have less thc than another plant .
10 g weed at 20% thc rating but 10 % resin content has 0.2 g thc
10 g w33d at 15 % resin and 15% thc has 0.225 g thc

no. Still just no.

The test is always of total mass. If you only test resin then its the percentage of the resin. If you test the plant its the percentage of the plant.

I overthink everything and cant see how you are stuck on this. You are making up your own test parameters.

but ...if there is skepticism then show the math. I do get mine tested as required by health canada as required under the licensing act . not just for thc but pesticides.

Im just gonna point out the fact that you said this.
Testing is ONLY a requirement for Licensed producers who SELL their weed for recreational use OR to medical patients.

ACMPR and MMAR cert holders are not required to have anything tested.

So you are clearly fluffing up your credentials to try and give your theory more weight. Im not buyin it.

When u go to the weed store it tells u right on the container the thca content a means active, i have seen straight d line oil with a thca content of 90%/ this is bc of quality control as the product was sent to a lab and tested/ 3% thca is mostly in cdb/ the lab does not lie bro, for the life of me i dont understand what ur driveing at? There is NO dispute that today's cannabis is much stronger today bc of selective breeding.

yes in an extracted compound which is most likely correct .
a plant rated at 20% is not accurate.
a rating on an extracted product is correct

statement
thc content on package of weed rated at 20% thc is only on the resin content.
resin content is not stated .
rating system used presently is not consistent
if you believe the 20 % rating means that there is 20 g thc show where it is in the plant

I finally got it Mimed, it is the mass of the sample not the weight. Do 20 percent it 20 percent!!!!!!!

Sorry I don't think I understand

you cant just make up percentages to support a claim. They dont test the trichome or shaft or just the oil. They test the whole sample and determine a weight percentage of the elements being tested


That way it doesnt matter about all the argument in this thread.

Can someone explain how the testing is done? Then finally we will get to the bottom of this.

we grew for licensed customers. we did not sell to government stores .
we DID grow for our licensed customers who expected a quality product and as per our agreement we had our product tested at York university in north york Toronto.
we test for thc cbd Cbn and pesticides

does 20% thc mean 20 g thc in 100g weed ?
if yes were is it ?.
if no what does it relate too ?
but regardless if it is not the total mass of 100 g then my point is made

100mg of plant tissue is dissolved in methanol and injected into a gas chromatography machine which analyzes the liquid for constituent components. Its really, really basic lab work.

How does the gas chromatography machine work?

You havent answered my question, what license or certificate do you have?

You are not required to test anything unless you are an LP. period.

they do not use gas chromatography as the heating of the vapour degrades the compounds . hplc high pressure liquid chromatography is used ..
product separated .dissolved in lab grade methanol. spun to separate out compound by molar mass and put in chromatography column to separate in individual measurable compounds
