Why Lab Testing is the Single Most Important Factor When Choosing a Cannabis Brand

One issue continues to separate responsible cannabis operators from the rest: third-party laboratory testing. This article explains what thorough testing covers, why it matters for safety, and the standard that West Coast Treez sets.

The Full Testing Panel Explained

• Cannabinoid profiling — Full quantification of THC, THCA, CBD, CBG, CBN and CBC
• Terpene analysis — 20+ compounds that determine flavour, aroma and effects
• Pesticide screening — Non-compliant residues are a direct health risk
• Heavy metal detection — Cannabis absorbs lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury from contaminated soil
• Residual solvent analysis — Critical for concentrate and vape products
• Microbial contamination testing — Screens for mould, bacteria and pathogens

The Gold Standard
