Reading Cannabinoid Names on a COA
Gerrit KellyShare
A cannabinoid report lists individual compounds, measurement units and reporting limits.
Read the names and columns
Locate the CBD and delta-9 THC rows rather than treating total cannabinoids as a synonym for CBD. Other rows may list acidic forms or additional cannabinoids. Use the laboratory’s own definitions for calculated totals.
Check the units
Percent by weight, milligrams per gram and milligrams per unit express different quantities. A per-package result is not a per-serving result. Read the sample size and unit definition alongside the numbers.
Understand the report limits
ND or a result below a reporting limit does not mean the laboratory proved absolute zero. Review the report’s abbreviations, dates and sample identifiers. Ask us to help locate the right report if your package batch is not listed.
