Lab samples
TestingLast verified Nov 1, 2026
Send only de minimis quantities for testing, and only to a state-licensed lab. Where no DEA-registered lab is available as the letter describes, a same-state lab without DEA registration may be used if you keep detailed distribution records.
Why it matters
OMMA requires testing before sale, so this affects every batch.
Applies to Grower/Processor/Dispensary/Transporter/Lab
