Hopefully, this book appeals most to practicing scientists because the book is light on the science of cannabis testing. Experienced analytical chemists will probably have a clear understanding of the technical needs for a cannabis testing lab. There are ample resources for learning more about the science of cannabis testing, approaches to understanding contaminants in cannabis, the instruments required to conduct cannabis testing, and current research trends in cannabis.
