Want to predetermine the effects of your marijuana? Try The Spott.
When it comes to predetermining the effects from the marijuana you’ re about to consume, there are several pieces of data you should have: the strain, cannabinoid ratios, terpene profiles, and insights as to the presence of residual solvents and pathogens.
Testing for each of these usually requires visits to multiple labs that specialize in each process and generally racks up a large bill. For example, only DNA testing can scientifically identify which strain of cannabis lies in front of you.
Fortunately, The Spott, a premier cannabis-testing laboratory in Michigan, has developed what they call the StrainSEEK DNA service. StrainSEEK identifies the genetical similarity of your marijuana sample to all the others in their database. By working with select, professional breeders, The Spott is creating a“ gold standard” for which strain is truly the original. This way, you can find out if your strain is a true OG or merely a counterfeit.
The Spott also provides cannabinoid and terpene profiling at their lab. Well higher than competitors in the industry, The Spott offers quantification up to 12 Cannabinoids by UPLC including:
∆9-THCA, ∆9-THC, ∆8-THC, THCV, CBDA, CBDVA, CBD, CBDV, CBGA, CBG, CBC, and CBN. They also test for 42 different terpenes – a number staggeringly higher than most testing labs.
Adding to their list of services, The Spott can also test for residual solvents present in your concentrates and microbes found in your flower.
Add plant sexing and early chemotype potential( THC: CBD ratio) and it’ s easy to see how The Spott is truly THE spot for all things cannabis testing, both before and after harvest.
Seeing as consumers are growing more and more sophisticated with their needs for transparency, a product labeled with official test results from a lab like The Spott will bolster confidence and increase sales for dispensaries, growers, and manufacturers alike.
In addition to growing revenue, adequate lab testing is also a fantastic ethical feat for the cannabis community at large; patients who need access to life-saving medicine need to be protected from harmful contaminants and guided only towards strains and products whose cannabinoid profile is most efficient at assisting with their medical ailments.
