// Definition
The early history of cannabis testing laboratories, which were initially sought out and established by the cannabis community itself rather than by regulators, in order to understand potency and safety of products.
// From the Episode
Later in episode 061, the panel discussed how the cannabis community originally went out and found laboratories and experts, bringing testing to the industry before it was mandated. This grassroots origin of cannabis testing contrasts with the current regulatory-driven testing framework and speaks to the community's self-policing ethos.
