Michigan marijuana testing lab says potency results are legit.

SAYS…IT HAS PROOF!

Michigan regulators and the state’s largest marijuana safety testing lab are at odds.

When customers purchase marijuana off shelves, the Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) has questioned whether the THC potency results on the label are accurate, at least when Viridis Laboratories has provided the results.

The battle began with a monumental recall issued by the CRA in November 2021 on an estimated $229 million worth of marijuana. The CRA claimed safety test results issued by Viridis Laboratories — the lab that tested all that marijuana — were unreliable.

On Oct. 20, plaintiffs seeking a class-action lawsuit, filed claims against the owners of Jeeter marijuana brand pre-rolls in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming the brand regularly inflates potency and misleads customers for profits.

“For example, the Baby Jeeter Fire OG Diamond Infused 5-Pack Preroll was listed as having 46% THC on the label,” the lawsuit said. “Independent lab testing showed, however, that the actual THC content of the product was substantially lower, between 23-27% THC.”

Similar claims have been levied against products in Michigan that have been labeled with what some have called impossibly high potencies.
