A certificate of analysis, or COA, is a document from an accredited laboratory that shows how much CBD, and other cannabinoids, are in a product.
Manufacturers should send every batch of every product they make to a lab for testing, to protect their customers and prove that their products have as much CBD as they advertise.
We’ve seen the CBD market become flooded with falsely labeled and advertised CBD products. This is a result of people trying to make a quick buck or simply their lack of education on the subject. It’s a frustrating fact but can be easily avoided by simply understanding how to read a COA. This will ensure we get what we pay for.
Once you get a COA, inspect it thoroughly and check for the following red flags:
1. Too much THC
2. Less CBD than advertised
3. Missing cannabinoids
4. Tested in-house
