Laboratory Analysis and Quality Control — Heavy Hitters Cannabis

Testing Standards Applied to Heavy Hitters Cannabis Products

 

The cannabis industry requires uncompromised quality and safety in every product. Heavy Hitters distinguishes itself through the transparency and consistency of its lab-tested products, thereby equipping consumers to make educated choices.

 

This website walks you through the process of cannabis lab testing, as well as what to expect and the significance of third-party validation. 

 

Testing a third-party facility guarantees that the provided cannabis product and all components are safe and of good quality. Tests are done with the following objectives in mind:

 

To evaluate the presence of various cannabinoids; whether there are THC, THCa, or CBD levels.

 

To evaluate the presence of pesticides and any foreign, contaminating bodies.

 

To evaluate the presence of metals, solvents that may remain after the distillation process.

 

To evaluate the uniformity of the product and, in turn, the safety of the consumers.

 

Laboratory testing guarantees that there are no health hazards that threaten the well-being of the consumers and that all cannabis products are safe to use.

 

 

Cannabis laboratories are equipped to analyze and evaluate the quantities, or levels, of various cannabinoids in the product and are, in particular, able to measure:

 

THC and THCa

 

CBD and any of the minor cannabinoids present in the product

 

The aggregate percent of the cannabinoids present in the product

 

Knowing the potency levels is important as it gives the consumers an understanding of how strong or how weak the product is and what the possible dosages are.

 

 

Terpenes affect Aromas, tastes and how we feel. Lab assessments might possess terpene assessments to determine: 

 

Taste and Smell

 

Profiles unique to each strain

 

 

Not all labs are equal. Good labs check the cannabis products for:

 

Pesticides

 

Heavy Metals (lead, arsenic and mercury)

 

Solvent Residue

 

Biological Contaminations 

 

Cannabis that does not pass these quality standards, cannot be sold legally.

 

Understanding Certificates of Analysis (COAs)

 

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) for every batch produced must be completed. A COA summarizes the results of all tests. These are the most common:

 

Identifier for the item and batch.

 

Outcomes of the potency tests

 

Outcomes of Contaminant Tests

 

Laboratory conducting the test

 

COAs not only provide the proof of the tests.Results. They also provide a measure of assurance to the customers about the products.

 

Heavy Hitters products that are sold through licensed cannabis dispensaries are tested by third party labs as per the legal requirements. Lab Reports can often be accessed:

 

At the licensed retailers

 

At QR Codes on Packaging that meets compliance

 

From legal sellers on demand

 

Lab Report Availability differs from a Product and the laws governing the product.

 

Heavy Hitters does not manufacture cannabis products for consumers that are below 21 years of age. Compliance with cannabis laws and Quality Manufacturing is our focus.
