Smelling to good to be true?

If they were Jeeter brand pre-rolls this could explain....

THC testing is not accurate, otherwise there would be no deviation in results from different labs...
...nor is it a good measure of "potency", otherwise different strains with the same numbers would have the same level of high.

A testing company in Michigan is going thru the same thing...the state, the other labs, and cannabis business that don't use the company in question, are accusing it of inflating the numbers...

The state really doesn't have a leg to stand on in the discussion...state police labs have been inaccurately testing...always...every single test they've done. Not only is it's testing inaccurate, but the testing procedure itself falsifies the results by altering the individual components...

And even though the state is aware of it's erroneous testing results, it still uses them against innocent folks...

Any of those test numbers you see, is a marketing ploy. Your best bet is to ask around...I know lots of folks that have gotten product at various dispensaries, and they are always happy to let you know their opinion of it. Also, sticking to strains you know you like, or staying away from ones you don't care for, will usually help...I've basically found strains from different sources (dispensaries/caregivers) to be very similar aboot 80-90% of the time.

Thanks Bob I already suspected numbers are marketing ,same old same old.

But what if someone like me who doesn't have much first-hand knowledge about the different strains. And walks into a candy store.

strains I had for sure are old Colombo, skunk, white widow maybe a few more I can't remember now, I'm pretty naive. And it's kind of hard to ask around if just passing through.

"I learned half of what I know...from the worst teacher goin'...Experience"

Yeah, I know...a bit overwhelming.
First time I wheeled up to a dispensary, they had car hops...beginning of covid. Guy brought out their menu sheet...I just looked for strains I'd seen folks on these boards had talked aboot. Got 3 to try...something very indie, something very sally, and something very common...all ended up being solid average. I'll ask the bud tenders their opinion...they have no real reason to lie to you, they just want to match you with the type you like. I'm also not shy aboot striking up conversation with other customers, to see which ones they like. Looks and aromas are always checked, but especially now are less helpful for selection...everything starts to look and smell the same in the shop. Then I take any of that knowledge and apply experience...40+ years buying/selling/growing and paying attention to strains...to determine what info is helpful in making my decision. Not foolproof, but usually steers me clear of the bullshit. And now I'm up to 4 strains I'll just ask if they have: Gorilla Glue #4, Willie Nelson, Jack Herer, and Lemon Haze variants.
