Lab tests conducted on cannabis flower sold in Colorado revealed that the THC potency reported on labels was often inflated. THC is the psychoactive compound in cannabis, and accurate reporting is crucial for medical patients and recreational users. Misleading information can impact dosages, customer trust, and industry integrity. The study found that 70% of samples had THC levels overreported on labels. Despite advancements in cultivation techniques, there is uncertainty about whether THC potency in cannabis flower has significantly increased in recent years. Education for consumers, improved oversight in sampling and testing, and transparency in the industry are necessary next steps.
