- 1 ounce of dried flower
- 4 grams of concentrates or resin
- 4 grams of vaporized oil
- 1,000 mg of ingestible products (e.g., 10 x 100 mg edibles)

Quality assurance and testing standards
Are all products lab-tested for safety and potency?
Absolutely! All cannabis products sold at CannaBar undergo rigorous third-party laboratory testing before reaching our shelves. New Jersey maintains some of the strictest testing standards in the nation.
Every product is tested for:
- Potency levels (THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids)
- Pesticides and herbicides
- Heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury)
- Microbials (mold, bacteria, yeast)
- Residual solvents from extraction
- Foreign matter and contaminants
How to verify: Look for the Certificate of Analysis (COA) QR code on packaging, or ask our knowledgeable budtenders for detailed test results. Products that fail any test are destroyed and never reach consumers.
