This follow-up to my recent post “Facts and Alt-Facts: How 2 labs Report on Potency” serves primarily as a response to those readers and interested parties that took the time to comment either on how the two charts aligned with their expectations or how my methods were allegedly deceitful.

I’ll put aside the “attack the messenger” tone uniting the latter group of posts, and focus today on the reported “Total Cannabinoid” trends reported by the top-volume Friendly lab and the top-volume PRAGUE lab for the period spanning May, 2015 through Dec. 2016.

The LCB sent guidance to the labs on May 11, 2015 that the number they were to report in the TOTAL field while recording potency for flower was to be THCmax (totally-decarboxylated THC).

Potency – as it should be?
