 Why Is Cannabis Testing So Critical?

Testing on cannabis and cannabis products is critical to determine whether they meet the tight requirements set by the California Department of Cannabis Control. The success or failure of the sample submitted will decide whether a cultivator/grower can lawfully sell these batches to dispensaries and consumers. As a result, the testing procedure at California Cannabis Testing Labs CCTL was highly controlled, and strong precautions were implemented to prevent sample tampering.
