In the past, the idea of cannabis testing labs would have been a preposterous notion. With the marijuana industry belonging to the black market, there was no room for that kind of analysis of an illegal product. These times are long behind us, however, and cannabis testing labs are not just a luxury, they are a necessity for those states that have legalized the plant in some form. At this point in time, 29 states have legalized cannabis for medicinal use and 8 states have legalized it for recreational purposes. With the plant being legal in California, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Massachusetts and Maine, approximately 20 percent of the country legalized cannabis for personal use. The industry has expanded enormously and getting a safe, high quality product that tells you exactly what it has in it has now become not just a possibility but also a right.

For those using the plant for a specific purpose (whether to relax, get high, inspire creativity or treat any number of medical conditions), knowing exactly what compounds and terpenes are in the plant and in what strength can not only be helpful but also ensure that you avoid and achieve the effects that you most desire. This also helps to determine dosage, method of use and the time of day that may be best for your needs with your product. Toxic solvents are often used to extract the compounds in the plant.
