Lab Testing 101: Why It Matters for Every THCA Product You Sell

At Passion Farms, we have deep roots in hemp production and product development. We have years of real-world lived experience in this industry as specialists. This means that every THCA product we offer is beyond just a finished harvest; it is part of our ongoing pledge to safety, quality, and transparency. As the hemp and cannabis space continues to grow and develop, Basic Laboratory Testing is the foundation to make sure that each THCA product we process and sell will pass rigorous standards.

Laboratory testing for THCA products is not only a legal requirement, but it is also the ground level to build trust and rapport for consumer confidence in all THCA products.

Why is Lab Testing for THCA Products Important? 

Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is the naturally occurring cannabinoid in the raw hemp and cannabis plant. Through our expertise we understand that THCA is non-psychoactive on its own. It will not create a “high” unless it is heated, which recycles it to Delta-9 THC through decarboxylation. This simple, yet paramount difference is why THCA product lab-testing is so important. 

The law requires that the Delta-9 THC content of a specific product remain below a certain threshold in compliance with federal and state law. Lab-testing a product ensures that it remains under that threshold to avoid legal ramifications, and ensure consumer protection. This scientific verification is paramount. Without lending credibility to the data from a reputable lab, there is no guarantee for either the producer or consumer, the safety- potency- or legal limits are known regarding the THCA product.

Our THCA Product Lab Testing Process.

Passion Farms commitment to quality is evident by our multi-step lab testing processes performed on each batch. Passion Farms only works with accredited third-party labs using cutting-edge analytical methods, including liquid chromatography, that allow us to quantify cannabinoids in a precise manner. This lab testing includes:

• Potency Testing: We quantitatively test THCA, Delta-9 THC, and other cannabinoids to provide exact labels for cannabinoid content. 

• Contaminant Testing: Ensuring products do not contain harmful microbes, pesticides, heavy metals, solvents, and other toxins is priority number one. 

• Terpene Profiling: The analytic testing performed can also be applied toward analyzing terpene profiles and aromatic compounds that contribute to flavor and potential effects, while also providing consumers further insight into the products being purchased. 

This degree of testing illustrates our commitment to authoritative and trustworthy quality assurance.

COA- Certified Compliance

At Passion Farms, we know trust is built through transparency. Every product has to go through THCA compliance testing to keep up with the changing regulations, and they are supported by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for each product that passes all safety and potency requirements.

Our COAs provide:

• Overly precise percentages of THCA and Delta-9 THC
• Safety screening results
• Lot number tracking and testing methods

By providing this service, we allow retailers to stock products that they know are compliant and consumer-facing commercial products. Making our COAs available online signals our commitment to being transparent, verifiable, and reliable in providing product information.

Developing Consumer Trust Through Transparency and Expertise

The cannabis industry is often filled with misinformation, and we set Passion Farms apart by starting with our experience and authenticity. We teach consumers about lab testing of THCA and show lab reports so customers can exercise informed choice and create lasting consumer loyalty. Our training goes beyond testing. It is also important that our staff help interpret lab results so retailers and consumers understand what makes our cannabis, and their experience with it, safe, effective, and compliant.

Effective Practices Based on Industry Experience

Our unwavering commitment is based on years of combined experience:

• Testing at every critical point – pre-harvest, post-harvest, and pre-shipment – ensures that we can anticipate and avoid any quality and compliance issues as early as possible.

• Working with highly respected, accredited laboratories ensures that we will receive the most current and accurate testing protocols.

• We routinely educate our staff to allow us to communicate and interpret testing results accurately and objectively.

• We actively manage compliance so that we can anticipate potential regulatory changes and stay ahead of changes that may affect our services and educated staff.

These best practices form the basis of every lab testing program we implement for THC-A products.
