How to Never Smoke Bad Weed Again

The most powerful tool a cannabis consumer has is information.

The Certificate of Analysis, or COA, reveals exactly what is in your cannabis and what is not. Understanding it protects you from mold, contamination, and low-quality product.

What Is a COA?

A COA is a third-party lab report verifying potency and safety. Reputable brands provide them for every batch, often via QR code.

Hesitation to share COAs is a major red flag.

Cannabinoid Profile Explained

• THC: Psychoactive potency

• CBD: Therapeutic balance

• Minor cannabinoids: Contribute to entourage effect

Diverse profiles usually indicate high-quality cultivation.

The Terpene Section

Terpenes define flavor and effect:

• Myrcene: Sedating

• Limonene: Uplifting

• Pinene: Alertness and memory

• Caryophyllene: Anti-inflammatory

Total terpene content above 2 percent signals quality. Low levels can indicate poor curing or irradiation.

The Safety Panel

Always verify:

• Microbials: Must pass

• Pesticides: None detected

• Heavy metals: Free from lead, mercury, arsenic

• Mycotoxins: Non-negotiable pass
