State Required Lab Tests

*For these types, products testing shall not be required to have tested for pesticide residue if they are made from cannabis concentrate or cannabis extract with verified pesticide residue test results, so long as the establishment can demonstrate that the resulting product will not exceed action level for that type of cannabis product.

Sample Needed for Testing

  • Flower Full Compliance: 5.5g

  • Pre-Roll Full Compliance: 5.5g – Please include full pre-rolls. We are required to test all components of the final product and have found that potency results are higher when we test the full pre-roll versus loose flower.

  • Distillate/Concentrate/Resin/Rosin Full Compliance: 3.5g – Please make sure distillates are fully homogenized (mixed) before bringing in your samples. The components of a distillate can start to separate after it has been sitting for a while, so try to mix your whole batch up right before sampling.

  • Edible Full Compliance: 5.5 g

  • Added Terpenes: 0.5g​​​​
