#007 - Getting Real About THC Potency & Quality Control w/ Josh Wurzer

Ever wondered how the potency of your cannabis is determined, and how that determination directly impacts the price you pay? Join us in this thought-provoking episode of High Spirits Live as we uncover the state of lab testing in the US cannabis industry with SC Labs founder Josh Wurzer. We'll dive into the complex nuances of consumer behavior and the urgent need for more transparency and information in the rapidly evolving cannabis market. Lab testing in cannabis isn't as simple as it seems. Learn about challenges of obtaining accurate potency results, how THC values influence wholesale pricing, and how different states are addressing these critical issues. We'll also delve into the rising cost of top-tier cannabis, driven by mounting taxes and regulations, and how innovative tech platforms could be stepping up to offer consumers nuanced data for a more comprehensive understanding of the products they are considering. And it gets even more interesting: Inflated potency results and fraud are real threats in this industry. In our in-depth conversation about these issues, we'll explore how labs validate their tests, the importance of regulations in maintaining honesty, and what steps are being taken by regulators to ensure safety standards.
