1. Testing almost means zero. We blind tested labs and got huge variance in results. Part of it is the sensitivity of the testing. Part is lab procedure. All of it is too uncertain to base health decisions on - especially considering product produced using any of the "tanes" butane, entane, etc. Parts per million of anything that carcinogenic is not something I would want in any part. Better make sure the testing includes a solvent screen. It won't be accurate, but at least it is something. Just having potency test is not enough and too many try to cut corners for paying for that only. Legal states are a bit better, but medical you better know the lab and how good their testing is and how well the staff is trained in lab procedure. The top rated lab I know for legal in WA I don't trust at all.

2. The quest for purity comes at the expense of many of the healthful parts of the flower.

3. The potency is the end of the road. Get a tolerance to something that powerful and there is nowhere else to go. All that is left is to basically turn into a dribbling speechless stoner. There are hard core dabbers I know that have the sweaty catatonia of opiate junkies.
