Hemp Testing
Hemp testing is the process of rigorous laboratory analysis used to verify the cannabinoid potency and safety profile of plant material and finished goods. Utilizing validated methods like high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), these tests ensure absolute compliance with the 0.3% THC legal limit while screening for pesticides, heavy metals, and mold. This oversight provides the transparency and third-party validation necessary to build consumer trust and maintain a legitimate, high-quality marketplace in Michigan.
