How We Actually Test Products Before They Hit the Site
Anyone can slap a label on a jar and call it “premium.” We don’t play that game.
At thisthat CBD, every single product—flower, cart, dab, or edible—goes through a real vetting process before it ever hits the site. No shortcuts, no favors, no “just trust us” vibes.
1. We Start With the COA
If there’s no full-panel Certificate of Analysis, it’s an automatic no.
Every product must show:
- THCA potency (not just “total cannabinoids”)
- Terpene breakdown
- Safety results (no heavy metals, pesticides, microbials, solvents)
We check that the labs are reputable — not some fly-by-night operation faking numbers to move units.
2. We Inspect the Source
We look into who made it — and how.
For flower, we ask:
- Is it indoor, greenhouse or sun-grown?
- What’s the drying and curing process?
- Do they use living soil, hydro, or synthetic nutrients?
- Are they consistent or just doing one drop and disappearing?
For vapes and dabs:
- Is it live resin, live rosin or distillate?
- What input material was used?
- Are terpenes botanical or cannabis-derived?
If it’s vague, shady, or sounds like a reseller with no clue, we pass.
3. We Use It Ourselves (Yes, Really)
Lab numbers are cool — but you can’t fake the smoke.
Before we list anything, we actually try it. That means:
- Checking how the flower breaks down, rolls, burns, tastes
- Testing vapes for hardware reliability, airflow, clogging, terpene profile
- Testing dabs for flavor, vapor production, and post-exhale feel
If it hits harsh, weak or weird? It’s out.
4. We Say “No” More Than We Say “Yes”
We reject more samples than we accept — and that’s by design.
Some common reasons we turn products away:
- COA doesn’t match the product
- Flower is too dry, poorly trimmed, or smells off
- Vape carts with no terpene presence or poor airflow
- Brands that can’t explain their process or ghost when asked for test results
Our shelves aren’t for filler. They’re for fire.
5. We Monitor Drops in Real Time
Testing doesn’t stop after the first batch. We keep eyes on every new drop:
- Reviewing fresh COAs
- Watching customer feedback
- Pulling items if quality slips
If a farm switches cure style and the flavor dies off? We rotate it out. If a cart starts getting clog complaints? We flag it. No sacred cows. Just quality control.
Final Word: We’re Not Just a Store. We’re a Filter.
Big-box resellers will list anything that turns a margin. We don’t.
We’re here to filter out the middling, the mystery blends, and the over-hyped garbage — so you can smoke better without doing the homework yourself.
If it’s on our site, it’s been tested, tasted and trusted.
