Why do you only recommend vendors that publish COAs?

Because in an under-regulated market, the lab report is the only evidence that exists. No agency is verifying potency claims on hemp flower before it ships; a vendor’s published, batch-matched COA from an accredited lab is the entire paper trail, and a vendor unwilling to show it is asking you to take intoxicating-product claims on faith. That is our hard line: no batch-matched COAs, no recommendation — regardless of how good the affiliate terms are. It costs us money to hold, which is precisely why it is worth stating publicly.
