Top THC potency testers of 2019
The testing of weed today, especially if you live in a legal region like Canada, is big business. The legalization of marijuana on October 17, 2018, created a reason for nearly every legal age person residing in Canada to want a THC potency tester. As we legally grow our four plants, we will eventually need a potency tester for our finished product.
Yes, as a recreational user, you may not be too concerned about the potency of the THC oil you have produced for your medicine. However, if you are growing your plants for medical issues, you do need to be sure of the potency of each plant that you are using, which is where the THC test kit comes in handy. For those whose niche is edibles, purchasing a potency THC test kit will help to ensure that your edibles are of the correct potency for you and your guests to enjoy.
