THC & CBD Percentages: Anyone else run into low-THC strains that feel "strong"?

No disrespect fingerleaf, but i have overviewed the parameters of both gas and liquid chromatography and understand how their results are established. The only problem i have are that from liquid chromatography and how some labs derive their results. But that comes down to poor chemistry math when they calculate the total percentage from THCA and THC. This has been noted by some labs and is easily rectified by overviewing and reanalyzing the raw data. The results are never permenently skewed.

If you can show if what i know is not the case, please do. But trust me that i have scoured the net when i was researching this last year and i believe the system is quite flawless, or practally anyway.
If you would like to know further more i can elaborate. ;)
 
hey dano check out the article i shared below, its from this year. im not saying the testing method is not scientifically accurate, im saying there are a lot of reasons why labs inflate their results and they are just inconsistent, the lowest test on the artiicle is 13% and the highest was 26%. there are social, economical and private interest and reasons to keep the scores high
 
The deviations come from different protocols and standards used, also the level of care and controlled variability during the process. More higher quality labs will ensure these variables change as little as possible but yes these deficiencies can occur.
 
Yea i agree with you on the inconsistancies between labs, there doesn't appear to be clear cut protocols. However, i do want to reiterate, that they do measure weight vs weight. Also their results would likely be only ever undervalued never overvalued (except when applying incorrect chemistry math when calculating total THC). But personally i would be reading the raw data myself.
 
I'm not sure if someone mentioned it above, but could it be a high THCv strain? I heard they are pretty rare. But the effects you had sound about right. Did you have the munches?
 
I am looking into this now, what an interesting cannabinoid! I can't wait until we can actually research cannabis properly!
