There are a few things that should be brought up that have not been brought up yet. The "Marijuana Industry", as it is known, has made it a long way since the 90s in America, and since the 50s and 60s (and even earlier really) Internationally. Amsterdam is known for Coffee, Marijuana and Waterways, because it was a center of Trade; bringing Indian and South African Cannabis strains to Europe, as well as various others.
But Cannabis is not Standardized. This is something that a has been a topic of discussion of some Circles in the Marijuana Industry, but I want to expand it. The current discussion is about Strains, and how Strain Names as a means of determining Cannabinoid Content is on the way out.
Here is what I am adding to the Discussion. When you see that a Strain is 25% or 26% or 30% THC, that does not mean by weight. People think that it means by weight, but if your buds were 25% THC they would look like the Earth throughout the whole plant. That 25% indicator is about Cannabinoid Content, and usually Cannabinoid + Terpene Content. So when it says "25% THC", that means "25 percent of the total Cannabinoids and Terpenes were made up of THC". So a plant with 25% THC and 20% THC don't necessarily have different THC content. 25% does not tell you 200mg per gram or 100mg per square inch or anything like that. The closest you get to actually knowing the Content with these testing methods is with Shatter Hash.
And further, the product called "Moon Rocks" that used to be Caviar, and has other names also. This is Buds which have been dipped in Solvent Hash, and then Rolled in Bubble Hash before the Solvent Hash evaporates. There is no standardization for this. But in the 70s, they were using Research from the 40s, to create pure Delta-9-THC; and then they were using Wire Hangers to move it, and then heating up the hanger to drip it on to ashes in a bowl to smoke it. In the 70s. Then they decided that another way to smoke it was to put it on Buds. So they created a system, and the way they "Standardized" it, was by adding the extract back to a set number of Grams. So say you say 100 Grams of Buds, make an extraction, and turn it into pure Delta-9-THC, then put that on 10 Grams of Bud (using a Solvent and a Glass Dropper); they called that "10-on-1". 200 Grams on 10 Grams is 20-on-1, 300 on 10 is 30-on-1, etc. People have Blow Torches, Globes, Nails, Bangers, and all kinds of rigs now, how can we not figure out a Standardization system like what they had in the 70s?
