What GACP and CoA Mean When Choosing Cannabis in Thailand

Two abbreviations matter when you’re looking at cannabis quality in Thailand: GACP and CoA. Here is what they mean.

GACP: how the plant was grown

GACP stands for Good Agricultural and Collection Practices, a quality standard for medicinal plants used by Thai health authorities. A GACP-certified farm has to follow documented rules on:

• clean growing conditions and approved inputs
• harvesting, drying and curing
• storage and handling
• record keeping, so each batch can be traced back to the farm

CoA: what’s in the batch

A Certificate of Analysis is a laboratory report for a specific batch. It typically shows:

• cannabinoid content: THC and CBD levels
• contaminant tests, where carried out: for example pesticides, heavy metals, and mould or microbes
• the batch number, test date and laboratory name

Why it matters

Flower grown without controls can carry mould, pesticide residue or inaccurate THC claims. A GACP farm plus a matching CoA means you know where the flower came from and what is in it. Our guide to mould in cannabis explains what to look for.

How CannaBuri handles it

All flower on CannaBuri’s menu comes from GACP-certified Thai farms with a Certificate of Analysis. You can ask to see the CoA for any strain in store. The THC % shown on each product page comes from that batch’s lab test.
