Know what’s in the jar.

A strain name does not tell you what is in the jar — we tested that against 4,914 lab results and it fails. So we do the other thing: five questions, then a card you can hold up at the counter with the chemistry to look for and the words to ask for it.

How it works

Ask. Narrow. Verify.

Other tools hand you a strain name. A name is not a measurement, so we hand you the profile to look for and the paperwork to check it against.

01

Say how you want to feel

Calm and ease, rest and wind down, bright and social. Feelings, in plain language. Never a chemistry exam.

02

We give you the chemistry to look for

A terpene profile, ranked, with the reasoning shown. Not a strain name — those change between growers, and we have the numbers.

03

You verify it at the counter

Your card carries the words to ask and the lines to check on a certificate. Anything you rule out is ruled out before we build it, not just pushed down a list.

The research underneath

Lab-tested does not mean the chemistry is published

We have read 651 certificates from 12 shop and brand libraries. Nearly all report potency and contaminants. Sixteen had a terpene panel run at all — and exactly one reported terpene figures. The labs offer the assay; the shop has to order it, and almost none do.

Read the survey — every brand, every lab
