The other type of testing is Confirmatory testing, using mass spectrometry is often used for forensic or workplace drug testing and is considered the ‘gold standard’ for drug testing because it’s the most ..read more

No, you are not dreaming Yes, you read it right. In a world where the price of everything is going up and up, we have lowered the price of our Broad-Spectrum CBD oil and 50/50 CBG CBD oil.

This is incredibly exciting to have our products in a national competition with international brands.
