Potency Testing

What Is Potency Testing?

Potency testing measures the concentration of key cannabinoids like THC, CBD, and other compounds to determine the strength and therapeutic potential of your cannabis product.

What We Test For:

Delta-8-THC
Delta-8-THC is a cannabinoid found in cannabis that is structurally similar to Delta-9-THC, the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects of marijuana. However, Delta-8-THC is typically less potent and is known for providing a milder, more manageable high. Many users report experiencing relaxation and anti-anxiety effects. Delta-8 products have gained popularity due to their potential to offer a smoother experience compared to Delta-9-THC, but it still falls under legal scrutiny in some areas. We test for Delta-8-THC to ensure your product’s potency and compliance with local regulations.
Delta-8-THCA is the precursor to Delta-8-THC. In its raw, unheated form, Delta-8-THCA is non-psychoactive. When exposed to heat through a process called decarboxylation, it converts into Delta-8-THC, which has psychoactive effects. Testing for Delta-8-THCA is important to determine the total potential for Delta-8-THC content in products that have not yet been heated or processed.
Delta-9-THC is the most well-known cannabinoid, responsible for the majority of the psychoactive effects in cannabis. It interacts with the brain’s endocannabinoid receptors to produce the “high” commonly associated with marijuana use. Delta-9-THC levels are strictly regulated, and it’s crucial to test products to ensure they stay within legal limits, especially for hemp-derived products, which must contain less than 0.3% Delta-9-THC to comply with federal law.
Delta-9-THCA is the non-psychoactive form of Delta-9-THC found in raw cannabis. It only converts to Delta-9-THC when heated, through a process called decarboxylation. Testing for Delta-9-THCA helps determine the total potential for Delta-9-THC in cannabis products before they are smoked, vaporized, or processed. This is crucial for understanding the full potency profile of a product.
CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that has gained popularity for its potential therapeutic benefits, such as reducing anxiety, pain, and inflammation. Unlike THC, CBD does not cause a high, making it ideal for those seeking the benefits of cannabis without psychoactive effects. CBD products are commonly used in wellness applications, and we test for CBD content to ensure accurate labeling and potency in your products.
CBDA is the raw, unprocessed form of CBD found in the cannabis plant. Similar to THCA, CBDA must be heated or exposed to sunlight to convert into CBD. Many consumers believe that CBDA offers its own unique benefits, including anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea effects. Testing for CBDA helps manufacturers understand the total potential CBD content in raw or minimally processed cannabis products.

When referring to total THC content, we take into account the sum of Delta-9-THC and Delta-9-THCA, after potential decarboxylation. Total THC is a critical metric for determining the psychoactive potency of a product and ensuring compliance with legal limits. Whether you’re producing flower, edibles, or concentrates, accurate THC content measurement ensures your product meets regulatory standards and delivers a consistent user experience.

CBN is a cannabinoid that forms when THC degrades due to heat, light, or oxygen exposure. Although it’s only mildly psychoactive, CBN is often associated with sedative effects and is being studied for its potential use in sleep aids. Products high in CBN are typically used for their calming and sleep-inducing properties. Testing for CBN content is essential for manufacturers looking to create products tailored to relaxation and sleep.

Why Is Potency Testing Important?

Accurate potency results are essential for consumer safety and compliance. Potency information helps consumers understand the strength of a product, ensuring appropriate dosage and effect. Misleading or inaccurate potency can lead to health risks, improper usage, or non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
