What's a COA?
Certificate of Analysis. A third-party lab report showing what's actually in the product. Every batch we sell has one. Linked from the product page. Required by law in some states; required by us regardless.
What a COA tests for
- Cannabinoid potency — exact % of THCa, Delta-9 THC, CBD, CBG, etc.
- Pesticides — residues from spraying.
- Mycotoxins — toxins from mold.
- Heavy metals — lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury (plant draws them from soil).
- Residual solvents — for concentrates, leftover butane / ethanol.
- Microbials — bacteria, mold, yeast, salmonella, E. coli.
- Moisture content — for flower, freshness.
How to read one
- Top of the page: batch number, sample ID, harvest/lab date.
- "Pass / Fail" column on every contaminant. You want all green checkmarks.
- Cannabinoid panel: total THC = THCa × 0.877 + Delta-9 THC. (THCa loses mass when it converts.)
- Federal compliance line: total Delta-9 THC must be ≤ 0.3%.
Why it matters
Unlicensed / black-market hemp products are routinely found contaminated with pesticides and pathogens. The whole point of buying from a licensed retailer is the COA. No COA = no purchase.
