🦥 A few things I found this week — chill and give these a read: Man, we really need to talk about the absolute state of dispensary THC testing right now because it's getting ridiculous. Someone in Denver actually went out, bought fifteen different products straight off the shelves, and sent them to an independent lab only to find out that on average, the labels claimed a massive 34% more THC than what was actually in the package [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/analysis/weed-cant-get-past-34-the-labels-go-to-42-the-system-rewards-the-lie/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=weed-cant-get-past-34-the-labels-go-to-42-the-system-rewards-the-lie).
