Most of us are not in legal states and are working under strained finances to begin with, so testing the infused oils hasn't been something anyone was pushing for. Hell, testing anything is a challenge and requires logistics that make most of us terrified. We're in a situation as basic as making a best guess based on what we know and working up to a dose that's effective.
Because it's cannabis we use we can do this with an expectation of getting positive results without negative side effects. Cannabis oils were used as effective healing modalities long before we had the capacity to determine the molecular components that were doing all the heavy work.
What you're doing here is the start of what we hope becomes commonplace. There've been a couple other attempts in the time I've been here to encourage testing. Life keeps getting in the way and it's priority standing tumbles. As you know, testing ain't cheap, and knowing the precise cannabinoid and terpene profiles, while an invaluable resource in formulating effective protocols, won't change the ability of the oils to heal. Not knowing these things won't keep the oil from healing.
And so we continue on with our guesstimates and watch natural healing commence. It's the way it's been done for thousands of years, infuse, ingest, heal. Testing is new. Cannabis therapies will benefit from testing, to be sure, but a lack of testing won't deter a home producer from going ahead and using what was created, what's been used in homes for thousands of years without lab testing, and making a best guess as to potency.
We may not be able to prove yet that the noticable uptick in potency of FHO is caused by the retention of more terpenes and flavonoids, but it's the most logical conclusion. I hope you and Canyon can produce some so you can see for yourself what all the excitement is about. If there's any way to get funds funneled to you for a test that would be wonderful, and I believe there is a way, just one we haven't yet seen. We still have a window of opportunity.
