Cannabinoids (those the system recognizes and analyzes)
The laboratory may report dozens of cannabinoids; the system normalizes and classifies them. Psychoactive: No · Yes · Precursor (a non-psychoactive acid until decarboxylated). The counts toward THC ≤1%? column indicates whether it adds to the total THC regulated by law (see Percentage rules). Natural — non-psychoactive
Precursor acids (the “raw” form in the plant; non-psychoactive until decarboxylated with heat)
THC family (psychoactive; yes, they add to the ≤1% legal limit)
Non-THC semisynthetics (psychoactive, but not THC → they do not count toward the ≤1% THC)
Percentage rules (THC)
- Legal rule: the product is marketable if its total THC is ≤1% of the total (Art. 245 fracc. V LGS). See Regulatory traceability.
- What “total THC” adds up: all cannabinoids of the THC family (Δ9, Δ8, Δ10, THCV, THCP, THCB…) plus the THC acids converted by their decarboxylation factor (THCA × 0.877). The laboratory’s “Total” rows are excluded to avoid double-counting.
- HHC, HHC-O and HHCP are psychoactive but are NOT THC — that is why they do not count toward that ≤1%. They are marketed covered by legal protection (amparo) under a ≤1% THC product class (see Raw material (cannabinoids)).
- The Smart COA marks compliant when the batch’s total THC is ≤1%; if it exceeds it, it marks non-compliant and the product cannot be published/sold.
Spectra (extract format)
Terpenes: natural aromatic compounds of the plant (they are not cannabinoids). They give flavor/aroma; the
Smart COA may report their profile (
terpenos) in addition to the cannabinoids.
COA safety panels
In addition to the cannabinoid profile, a Smart COA may include safety analyses of the batch (each with a status of pass / fail / not analyzed):System and traceability

System states
Product (seller)
draft → COA under review → COA validated → under review → published
· side states: changes requested, paused, rejected. In variable products, each variant has its own state.
Analysis sample
draft → payment pending (awaiting payment) → issued (paid, to be shipped) → shipped (on the way to the lab)
→ received → in analysis → results uploaded (in final review) → released (COA available)
· side states: rejected, cancelled.
Inventory transfer
created → in transit → received · side state: cancelled. The shipping label’s real tracking may also
show: delivered — pending receipt, out for delivery, shipment with incident.
Shipping label / inbound shipment
no label → label registered → (tracking) in transit → out for delivery → delivered · incidents:
with incident, returned. Without a valid registered label, the package is not received (warehouse or laboratory).
