Yep, though the #s, disparity, and consistency of one lab testing differently than another ruled out probability happenstance outcomes; leaning more toward either differences in testing techniques, or a 'thumb on the scale' sort of thing. Like the unlikely nature of flipping a penny 50 times and having it come up heads each time.

Re. the allegations of using untracked weed in edibles, (i.e., implying black market weed being slipped in through the proverbial side-door), while likely an impressive cost-saving strategy on the calculator, I'm betting that in all of this, in light of the severity of the fine involved, they're wishing things had been played differently.

$500,000.00 sends a really strong message to other licensed folks; no room what so ever for screwing around with fringe ideas.

Taking away someone's income AND levying a half-million dollar fine creates an interesting conundrum. Like, "How are we gonna' pay that now??!!"
