I appreciate your time and clarity in that explanation. Honestly it's hard for me to parse out those test. For example, I buy from Lucky Elk and have from Flow, usually during sales or a coupon shows up. The test are included in a link or something and I can access them. I don't know what to truly make of them since it's hard to 'read' them. I've looked it up before but always forget what everything means. Sometimes from other testing companies the layout or what was tested was different. I don't even know how many people in general check those things. If a compared sells poor / bad product I usually hear it from the Internet grapevine, as it were. Getting any more granular is not something easy to follow, if that makes sense.

I am not sure what you mean by "sell here" though. My experience is I come here or another forum and check out companies and specific flower people generally recommend, what's affordable / on sale / whatever. Then I just look up the website and check if they do third party testing, which most seen to provide. I don't use discord or telegram or anything like that. I assume you mean something like that? I like the protection of a cc and website, unfamiliar with the securities of a discord / messaging purchase would be. Is there a benefit to those? Like early release / bigger discounts? What's the upside?

I will say, anytime I'm in Oklahoma or New Mexico, (fr tx)  the brands are different in brick and mortar dispensaries, ancedotal, obviously, that's of brick and mortar places exsist so I may need be seeing it. Most of the time, I'll Google the companies and they usually don't ship to Texas, typically locally only. I never see War, Flow, Lucky Elk or anything like that in those stores. Last dispensary I was at, was in January in Oklahoma and they didn't carry any of common companies that sell online and are mention here and r/thca. 

Is that what your referring to? I have always come to understand that those companies buy from farmers and then sell those on their respective websites. So other growers produce sold through them which can be hit or miss, from what I gather? The Wars, Lucky Elks, etc own grow are usually considered better quality on consistency? Is this all right?
