// Definition
The effort to establish uniform testing protocols and reference standards across cannabis testing laboratories. Due to federal prohibition, labs operated independently without a centralized standard, leading to inconsistent results between facilities.
// From the Episode
Tony Verzura explained that cannabis testing labs were essentially activist organizations operating in a federally illegal space, which prevented them from formally collaborating on standards. Satellite testing (sending identical samples to multiple labs) revealed inconsistent results. The scientific community was beginning to develop cross-board standardization.
