Lab Reports are often falsified hiding dangerous micro-toxins or ingredients and over or understating Cannabinoid Levels – creating harmful consequences to consumers
Manufacturers and Merchants May Mis-Represent Certain Industry Registrations such as Licensing and Industry Certifications that are Fraudulent and Mis-Leading and Customers are none-the-wiser as they have no way to validate and verify.

Competitive Differentiation

Quality Companies are Getting Lost amidst in the Crowd of Low Quality Providers that Offer Lower Prices Since they Do Not Spend Money on Quality Practices or Compliance to Protect their Customers
