These lab tests cover things like residual solvents, pesticides, and fungal spores just to name a few.
I didn’t have a lot of interest in growing cannabis when I lived with my parents in a rented trailer in a southwestern desert town. The climate down there was unrelenting and all of the weed I purchased was grown in California and shipped to us over interstate 10. When I moved to Michigan six years ago, I was shocked by the quality of the cannabis grown and sold here in legal weed dispensaries. People tried to tell me that Michigan weed wasn’t as good as California weed, but I think they don’t even know what they’re talking about. Sometimes the cannabis in California might appear to be “safe” and lab tested, when in reality it’s grown in a large outdoor facility with pesticides and herbicides. Since the gray market still thrives within the larger California cannabis industry, I don’t exactly trust what I’m seeing in front of me at dispensaries in The Golden State. Michigan has strict lab testing rules where cannabis growers and manufacturers are forced to send samples of their products to third party labs to test them for contaminants and harmful adulterants. These lab tests cover things like residual solvents, pesticides, and fungal spores just to name a few. On top of the rules regarding lab testing Michigan weed, the Great Lakes State has an ideal outdoor climate for not just marijuana, but also all of the other crops that come out of Michigan like cherries and apples. Compared to neighboring states, Michigan is ideal for farming. I live in Ann Arbor currently, but many of the nearby suburbs are rural farming communities.
