"THE MORE YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR MEDICINE, THE MORE EFFECTIVE IT CAN BE."
TRUST THE MEDICINE
All medicines as well as alcoholic beverages have information regarding the strength or dosage of the product; it should be no different with Medical Cannabis.
Many dangerous pesticides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators are used on Cannabis, often indiscriminately throughout the flowering stages of growth. These residual toxins create potentially dangerous safety issues to patients when consumed.
Mold and fungal infestations should be an area of concern to anyone who consumes medical Cannabis, especially those who are prone to asthma, allergies, or have a compromised immune system.
Testing is highly recommended because accurate results are very important in the current Medical Cannabis industry. Potency numbers can help patients determine dosage, side effects, and gauge the form of medicine that will be most effective , such as: edibles, vapor, oil, tincture, or topical (salves).

New River Seed Company has partnered with Green Style Consulting of Yuba City, California to provide Northern California with professional, accurate potency testing for flowers, oil, and also pretesting.
Every flower has its own genetic predisposition. Inside , it has components you cannot see. You can smell it, and the Trichomes make it sticky to the touch, but it contains a very particular combination of medicine. In the picture at left, we found that this particular flower was 23% THC: the cannabinoid that produces a full body high, and relieves pain. It is also .31 % CBD, the cannabidiol that is currently curing cancer and significantly improving the comfort level for people battling seizures and chemo treatments. These numbers were determined by potency testing, which allows patients to accurately individualize their medicine and determine what form will be most effective.
Here is a list of the very significant cannabinoids found in this flower:
CBDA- Reduces inflammation, inhibits cancer cell growth.
CBD- Aids in sleep, slows bacterial growth, no high.
CBGA- Relieves pain.
CBC - Inhibits cancer cell growth, relieves pain.
CBCA- Treats fungal infection.
THCA- Aids in sleep, suppresses muscles spasms.
THC- Reduces nausea, vomiting, stimulates appetite.
THCV- Reduces convulsions & seizures, promotes bone growth.
CBD- Antibacterial, inhibits cancer cell growth, reduces blood sugar levels, reduces inflammation, relieves anxiety, relieves pain, slows bacterial growth, reduces seizures and convulsions.
Each strain (flower) of plant is genetically altered to contain the medicine a person needs. For years, the CBD's and other medicinal properties of the flower were bred out of the plant. The goal at that time was to create a flower loaded with THC alone; it was strictly about getting high. The breeders of the past accomplished their goal. Today, the levels of THC in flowers have increased in phenomenal numbers; however, the breeders of today have discovered the positive attributes of including all the cannabinoids in their breeding practises. Currently, the emphasis is on creating a variety of strains to accommodate individual needs. For example, if you are looking for a flower high in CBD with a minimal high, it is now simply a matter of finding a knowledgeable breeder, farmer, cooperative, or dispensary.
Testing the flower with gas chromatography is the only way to accurately determine the percentages of each cannabinoid in a certain strain, as well as mold, spores, and pesticides.
