The wine rating of weeds? New 100-point system starts in New York

Just as the wine world has been based on the 100-point wine score for a long time to lead consumers, a new cannabis-specific version is now hitting the pharmacy in New York.

Certified tests and data, An ISO-17025-accredited cannabis and hemp test laboratory started the Cannaleptic evaluationA 100-point product assessment that aims to simplify the purchase of cannabis by helping consumers to quickly compare the quality between brands and products.

Beyond THC: A new standard for the assessment of cannabis
