Harvest Date vs Pack Date: How to Read a September Jar

You're at a Detroit counter in September with a jar in your hand. Two dates sit on the sticker. One says harvest. One says packed. The packed one is last Tuesday. The harvest one is June.

June to last Tuesday is not a typo. Harvest date is when the plant was cut. Pack date, if the brand even prints one, is when that flower was sealed in the jar. Michigan law treats those as different clocks. A shopper who reads only the newer date buys a story, not an age.

I am Jamie, Divine Toke's head cultivator. This is a label lesson for metro Detroit adults staring at a September jar. It is not a farm calendar. Cut week versus jar-on-the-shelf week lives in September harvest on a Detroit menu. Here we stay on the sticker and the lab sheet: harvest date, pack date, and the COA test date that sits next to them.

What is the difference between harvest date and pack date on a Michigan jar? #

Harvest date is the cut. Pack date is the seal. The first one tells you how old the flower is. The second one, when it exists, tells you when that unit went into its retail container. They are not twins. They are not required to match.

On a licensed Michigan flower jar, Mich. Admin. Code R. 420.504 names date of harvest, if applicable as a required label field. The same rule names the licensee who packaged the product if that person is not the grower. It does not require a "pack date," "packed on," or "packaged on" stamp for flower.

So when a September jar shows two dates, the extra one is usually a brand choice. Treat it as extra context. Do not treat it as the age.

Clock	Plain meaning	What it answers	What it does not answer
Harvest date	Day the plant was cut and entered the harvest batch	How old the plant material is	Whether it was dried, cured, tested, or rushed
Pack date (optional)	Day that unit was sealed in the jar or bag	How long this container has been closed	When the plant came down
Packager name / license	Who sealed it, if not the grower	Who put it in the retail pack	Freshness

Think of it like a bakery loaf. Bake date is the oven. Bag date is the plastic. A Tuesday bag can still hold Monday's leftover bread. A last-week pack date on a June harvest is the same move.

If the jar only shows harvest date, that is normal in Michigan. Read that date. Then match the package tag, the statewide monitoring number, to the Certificate of Analysis. The Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency runs that tracking system. How to match a tag to a terpene page lives in reading a Michigan COA. This post stays on the two dates.

A September shopper in Ferndale, Warren, or Dearborn should leave with one sentence: the cut is the age; the seal is just the lid.

What does Michigan CRA require on a flower label? #

Before a licensed Michigan shop can sell flower, the sealed container must carry the harvest date (when it applies), the grower or producer name and license, the Metrc package tag, the lab name, and any test analysis date, not a pack date. That list is in R 420.504. The Michigan CRA publishes the same fields in its sale-or-transfer best-practices packet.

Read the sticker like a checklist. If a field is missing, that is a walk-away, not a shrug.

Required fields on a Michigan flower jar #

Label field	Why it is there	Shopper move
Grower / producer name + license	Who grew or made it	Confirm it is a licensed business
Package tag (statewide monitoring / Metrc)	Tracks that exact package	Match this number to the COA
Packager name + license, if different	Who sealed the retail pack	Do not confuse "packaged by" with "cut yesterday"
Date of harvest, if applicable	When the plant was cut	This is your age clock
Strain name, if applicable	What they called the lot	Use it as a name, not a freshness proof
Net weight	How much is in the pack	Check the number, not the font
THC and CBD as tested, plus a 10% variance note	Lab potency, with a built-in swing	Do not treat the number as exact
Activation time (words or pictogram)	How long before you feel it	Flower onset is still inhale-speed
Lab name + test analysis date	Who passed the lot, and when	Second official clock
Universal symbol + required warnings	Legal notices	Drive-high and keep-from-kids lines are mandatory

R 420.504(1)(f) is the 10% line. The THC on the sticker may sit 10% above or below the lab report. That is printed law, not a budtender hedge.

The package tag is not decoration. Michigan's statewide monitoring system (Metrc) is how licensed product moves from harvest to a Detroit register. A jar without a real tag is not a licensed jar.

What the rule does not require on flower #

• A pack date, packed-on date, or manufactured-on date
• A best-by, sell-by, or use-by date
• A terpene list on the sticker

Edible and infused products have extra production-date rules in R 420.403. Flower does not borrow those clocks. If a brand still prints a pack date on an eighth, treat it as extra. Do not treat it as the CRA freshness field.

Harvest date vs packager vs pack date #

Three words sound alike. They are not the same field.

Word on the jar	What the rule is pointing at	Shopper mistake
Date of harvest	When the plant was cut	Skipping it because a newer date looks better
Licensee that packaged the product	Who sealed the retail pack, if not the grower	Reading "packaged by" as "packed yesterday"
Pack date (optional extra)	When that unit may have been sealed	Using it as the only age

A processor in Michigan can package flower the grower already cut. The packager line tells you who did that job. It does not reset the plant's birthday. The CRA transfer best-practices packet lists both the harvest date and the packager name as separate bullets for cultivator-or-producer-to-sales-location labels.

R 420.502(4) is the other date rule shoppers mix up: a business cannot sell a product after a printed expiration date. That matters when an expiration date exists, mainly on edibles. It does not invent an expiration date for flower that never printed one.

Adults 21 and over in Michigan also have possession and home-grow limits in MCL 333.27955. Those limits are about how much you can hold, not about how old the jar is. Do not confuse a legal amount with a fresh amount.

For safety pages, potency swing, and who checks the lab, see what lab-tested means in Michigan. This section is only the sticker.

How do harvest date, pack date, and COA test date differ? #

A Michigan jar can show three clocks: harvest date (the cut), test analysis date (the lab finish), and an optional pack date (the seal). They answer three different questions. Stacking them is how you catch a September "fresh drop" that is actually last winter's flower with a new sticker.

The Certificate of Analysis, the COA, is the lab report for that lot. The CRA Scientific Section oversees the licensed safety compliance facilities that write those reports. The sticker must name the lab and any test analysis date under R 420.504(1)(h). The full PDF is a separate document. Match the package tag before you trust either date.

Michigan's harvest-batch tracking guidance, posted with other CRA licensee bulletins, is blunt about the chain: plants enter a harvest, waste and dry weight get recorded, then packages get created and sampled. Harvest is a batch event. Packaging is a later event. Testing is a later event still.

Clock	Where you see it	Question it answers	September trap
Harvest date	Sticker (R 420.504(1)(c))	When was this plant cut?	Treating a Sept 1 cut as a Sept 2 smoke
Test analysis date	Sticker + COA header	When did the lab finish the passing test on this final-form lot?	Treating a fresh test as a new harvest
Pack date	Some brands print it; not required	When was this unit sealed?	Using it as the only age
COA sample / report dates	Lab PDF	When that sample moved through the lab	Reading a PDF that belongs to a different tag

How to stack the three clocks #

1. Harvest first. That is the plant's birthday.
2. Test analysis date second. That is when the lot cleared the lab in final form.
3. Pack date last, if it exists. That is the lid, not the plant.

A June harvest + an August test + a September pack is a common honest path: dry, cure, test, then jar. A June harvest + a September test + a September pack can still be honest, or it can be old bulk that sat and got a late test. Ask which.

A March harvest + last week's pack date is the one that should stop your thumb. The lid is new. The plant is not.

R 420.305 is the testing rule. A harvest batch has to pass required safety tests before that flower is released for processing, packaging, and sale. Subrule (12) says passed results must be in the statewide monitoring system before a batch is released for immediate processing, packaging, and labeling for transfer or sale. That is why a harvest date and a test date almost never share a Tuesday.

If staff cannot show a COA that matches the tag on the jar in your hand, walk. A Detroit shopper does not owe anyone the benefit of the doubt on a mismatch.

What a COA header is trying to tell you #

The PDF header is not a second harvest date. It is a lab receipt. Most licensed-lab reports, as of September 2026, put some mix of these near the top:

• Lab name and license
• Sample ID / METRC tag
• Product type (flower, not a gummy)
• Date sampled
• Date tested or analysis date
• Date reported

Match the tag first. Then read analysis date as the lab clock. If sampled date and harvest date are months apart, that lot sat. If analysis date is last week and harvest is last March, you are not holding a new plant. You are holding a new test.

The CRA Sampling and Testing Technical Guidance tells labs that Metrc results and the COA should match for required tests. Terpenes can still sit on the PDF as extra chemistry. Do not let a pretty terpene page talk you past a stale harvest date. Required safety tests, potency, foreign matter, microbes, chemical residue, metals, water activity, live in R 420.305(3). Water activity is a moisture-safety number. It is not a "picked this morning" stamp.

Why can harvest date and pack date be weeks apart? #

Yes. A harvest date and a pack date can sit weeks apart, and that gap is normal when the flower was dried, tested, and then sealed. It is not proof the jar is stale, and it is not proof the jar is "fresh crop." Read the size of the gap. Then read what filled it.

Raw flower is mostly water. A 2022 University of Saskatchewan postharvest review (PMC9404914) puts raw inflorescence around 78 to 80% moisture. That water has to leave before the flower is safe to store. The same review treats curing as the start of storage, holding leftover moisture steady after the hang, and cites work holding dried flower around 18 °C and 60% relative humidity for about two weeks as one documented cure setting. That is a research example, not a farm recipe.

R 420.305 sits in the middle of that gap. The lot cannot hit a licensed Michigan counter until passing results are in the statewide system. A September harvest date with an October pack date can be a careful hang. It can also be a pile that sat in a tote. The dates alone do not tell you which.

Gap you see	Honest story	Less honest story	What to ask
1–3 weeks	Fast dry, quick test, early jar	Rushed hang, hay smell	Was this dried and cured, or just sealed wet?
3–8 weeks	Dry + test + a real cure	Inventory that sat in bulk	Can I see the COA that matches this tag?
2–6 months	Long cure or slow indoor lot	Old flower with a new lid	Why is pack date so much newer than harvest?
6+ months	Rare for aroma-first flower	Likely tired terpenes	Open it. Smell it. Walk if it is hay or cardboard.

This is not the same question as "why isn't outdoor on the menu the week they cut." That menu timing lives in the September harvest Detroit piece. Here the gap is on one jar you are already holding.

Heat, airflow, and why a hot hang strips the loud smell live in drying cannabis flower from harvest to cure. You do not need that whole post at the register. You need one check: a short gap can mean rushed. A long gap can mean cured, or forgotten.

Michigan outdoor season makes the gap louder in September. A mid-September cut on a Lower Peninsula photoperiod plant still needs hang time and a lab. A pack date in late September or October can be the honest lid on that cut. A pack date the same week as the cut should make you ask whether anyone let the water leave.

Shift workers buying after a plant in Sterling Heights or a hospital night in Royal Oak still want a jar tonight. Buy indoor if the dates on outdoor look like a rush or a mystery. The sticker is not a loyalty test.

Which date tells you if a September jar is actually fresh? #

Harvest date is the better freshness clock. Pack date is a lid clock. Test date is a lab clock. If you only get one number, take the harvest date. If you get two, read the gap. Then use your nose.

"Fresh" on a September jar does not mean "cut this morning." It means the flower still smells like itself, pine, citrus, gas, spice, and still feels springy, not dusty. Dates get you to the right question. They do not replace the crack of the lid.

A 2020 Frontiers in Plant Science storage study (PMC7593247) followed cannabis inflorescences for a year in the dark at several temperatures. Terpenoid concentrations decreased rapidly under all storage conditions they tested. Room temperature (25 °C) produced the largest cannabinoid drift. Whole flower held at 4 °C was their best practical setting. That paper is about storage after harvest, not about a sticker. It still tells you why a June cut in a hot case can smell flatter than a June cut that lived in the dark.

A four-year forensic study in PubMed 30901710 watched THC fall and CBN, a breakdown product of THC, rise. Light at room temperature sped that change. Dark and cold slowed it. After four years in the harsh conditions, almost all the THC was gone. You will not keep a Detroit eighth that long. The direction still holds: heat and light age the jar after the harvest date is already printed.

If you see…	Freshness read	Next move
Harvest last 30–60 days, pack date close behind	Likely recent flower, if it was dried	Smell it. Ask grow style.
Harvest 2–4 months ago, pack date last week	Lid is new; plant is older	Ask why it sat. Open if they let you.
Harvest last winter, test date last week	Old lot, late paperwork or late test	Walk unless the nose is still loud
Pack date only, no harvest date	Incomplete flower label in Michigan	Ask for harvest date. If they cannot, leave.
Harvest this week, already on the shelf	Possible rush	Ask if it hung and cured, or just got bagged

Michigan September humidity works against a lazy jar after you buy it too. Great Lakes air holds water. NWS Detroit/Pontiac September records put Detroit Metro's September precipitation normal around 3.22 inches, with warm days still in the mix, not first-frost weather. NWS Detroit's first-fall-freeze page treats October as the end of the Southeast Michigan growing season. That is farm weather. For the jar in your bag, it means: a cracked lid in a humid kitchen or a hot car on I-94 will do more damage than the week between harvest and pack. Once you own it, how to store your weed is the home chapter: glass, dark, cool, lid on.

Sensory checks after the dates:

• Smell first. Loud and specific beats "kind of weed-like."
• Feel second. Springy, not powder.
• Color third. Rusty pistils and olive flower are normal. Gray dust and hay are not.
• Seal last. A swollen or wet bag is a no, even with a pretty harvest date.

Divine Toke is a Detroit-rooted, sun-grown organic brand. We still tell you to trust a well-dated indoor eighth over a September outdoor sticker that cannot explain its own gap. Dates are not branding. They are clocks.

What happens to flower between the cut and the seal? #

The loud smell starts leaving as soon as the plant is cut, because the light aroma oils, monoterpenes, evaporate first. Harvest date starts that clock. Pack date, if it exists, is when someone tried to slow it with a lid. Everything in between is drying, air, heat, and time.

Monoterpenes are the small, fast-moving smell oils: mango, citrus, pine. Sesquiterpenes are heavier spice and wood notes. A 2023 Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research paper (PMC10249740) is blunt: monoterpenes are lost first because they have higher vapor pressure. At room temperature, the vapor pressure of β-myrcene, the mango-sleep terpene, is about 80 times that of β-caryophyllene, the peppery one. After drying, myrcene can drop out of the top of the list even when the heavier notes stay.

A 2024 Plants drying study (PMC11013261) compared drying methods and cited work where hot-air drying cut various monoterpenes by 38–95% versus fresh flower, while some heavier notes rose on a dry-weight basis. Same paper: monoterpenes were more sensitive than sesquiterpenes in both chemovars they ran. Heat plus moving air is a thief. A careful hang is slower on purpose.

PMC9404914 is the water chapter again: you cannot skip the dry. Wet flower molds. Over-hot flower goes thin. The harvest date does not freeze the chemistry. It only marks when that fight started.

Stage	What leaves	What you smell if it went well	What you smell if it went badly
Cut (harvest date)	Stem water starts moving	Green, loud, wet	The start of the clock
Hang / dry	Bulk water + the most volatile terps	Pine, citrus, gas starting to show	Hay, wet grass, chlorophyll bite
Cure	Harsh green notes fade; leftover moisture steadies	Fuller, smoother, more itself	Sharp, thin, "green" if skipped
Test	Nothing aromatic; this is paperwork	N/A	N/A
Seal (pack date)	Lid slows air and light	Whatever survived the hang	Tired cardboard if it sat hot

THC changes slower than smell. PubMed 30901710 showed THC sliding toward CBN over months and years, faster in light and heat. You will notice a dead nose long before you notice a dead high. That is why chase-the-THC-% culture fails a September shopper. The number on the sticker can still look big after the mango is gone.

Practical translation for a Detroit jar:

• A new pack date on old harvest can mean the loud notes already left in a tote.
• A same-week harvest and pack can mean the water never left. It will smell like hay.
• A few honest weeks between cut and seal is often the least dramatic, best-smelling path.

You cannot jar terpenes back in. You can only stop losing more. That is the whole job of the lid, and of storage after you get home.

Why the sticker can look "fresh" after the smell is gone #

Labs measure what is left on the day they run the sample. They do not promise the jar will smell the same in October. PMC7593247 watched terpenoids fall under every storage temperature they tested. PMC10249740 explains why: the loud notes have higher vapor pressure, so they leave first. A September test date can still print a strong THC number after the mango is already gone.

That is the everyday version of the potency myth. The harvest date tells you how long that loss has had to run. The pack date only tells you when someone put a lid on what was left. The test date tells you when the lab took its snapshot. None of the three reprint the plant.

How should a Detroit shopper read two dates in 30 seconds? #

Harvest date first. Gap second. Package tag third. Nose last. That is the whole register move. You do not need a loupe. You need thirty seconds and a straight question.

Metro Detroit counters move fast: lunch break in Ferndale, after a shift on the east side, kids in the car on Woodward. The sticker has to work at that speed. R 420.504 already put the harvest date and the test analysis date on the pack. Use them.

The 30-second read #

1. Find harvest date. If it is missing on flower, ask. If they cannot show it, leave.
2. Find pack date, if any. If there is none, that is legal. Skip to the tag.
3. Subtract. Count the weeks between cut and seal.
4. Find the package tag. Match it to the COA they can pull up.
5. Find test analysis date. Weeks after harvest is normal. Months later with no story means ask.
6. Open or smell if they allow it. Loud and specific wins. Hay and cardboard lose.
7. Ask grow style and the gap. Indoor, greenhouse, or 2026 outdoor, and why the pack date is newer than the harvest date.

Fast read	Buy if…	Pause if…
Harvest 4–10 weeks ago, small gap, matching COA	Nose is still loud	They will not show the PDF
Harvest this month, pack this month	They can explain the hang	It smells like wet lawn
Harvest last season, pack last week	You came for cheap, not aroma	They call it "fresh crop"
Test date last week, harvest last winter	You want a safety pass, not a new plant	You thought the test date was the age

What to say out loud #

• Ask to see harvest date on this one.
• Ask if packed-on is the cut or the lid.
• Ask if this COA matches this tag.
• Ask indoor or sun-grown, and what year.

Licensed Michigan budtenders can show the label fields and a matching report. They cannot invent a medical claim. R 420.507 bars deceptive advertising. "Fresh crop" on a June harvest with a September lid is the kind of sentence that should die at the register.

Two jars, same counter, same THC % #

Say both eighths say 24% THC. The 10% variance rule in R 420.504(1)(f) already means that number can swing. Dates still separate them.

	Jar A	Jar B
Harvest date	July 12, 2026	March 3, 2026
Test analysis date	August 4, 2026	September 2, 2026
Pack date (printed)	August 8, 2026	September 1, 2026
Tag matches COA	Yes	Yes
Nose	Pine and pepper	Cardboard and dust
Shop line	"Cured indoor"	"Just dropped"

Jar A has a four-week gap that looks like dry plus test plus seal. Jar B has a new lid and a fresh test on a March plant. Jar B is the "just dropped" font. Jar A is the one that still smells like itself. Buy A if the goal is a night that tastes like the plant. Buy B only if you came for a cheap, tired bag and you know that.

This is the September trick in one table. New ink is not new flower.

If you want chemistry after the dates, shop the terpene page the way the COA terpene guide teaches. Dates first. Panel second. Nickname last.

What mistakes do shoppers make with harvest date and pack date? #

The common miss is treating pack date as age, or treating a September harvest date as a smoke date. Both clocks can lie if you read only one. The fix is the same every time: harvest first, gap second, nose third.

Michigan labels give you enough to avoid most of these. People still trip because the newer date feels better, and because "fresh crop" sounds like a season.

Mistake	Why it happens	What is actually true
Reading only pack date	It is the newer, prettier number	Pack date is the lid. Harvest date is the plant.
Assuming no pack date means stale	Other states print packed-on	R 420.504 does not require it on flower
Treating test date as harvest	COA header looks official	Test date is when the lab finished, not when scissors hit
Buying a same-week harvest and pack as a trophy	"Just dropped" font	Water may still be in the flower
Ignoring a six-month gap	"They cured it extra"	Maybe. Or it sat. Smell decides.
Trusting "fresh crop" over the sticker	September marketing is loud	The harvest date is quieter and more honest
Skipping the package tag	Dates feel like enough	A mismatched COA is a different lot
Leaving the jar in a hot car	You already paid	Storage starts the minute you leave the lot

A September harvest date is not a promise the outdoor is on every Detroit menu this week. That is a different post. On this jar, a September harvest date only means that plant came down in September. It does not mean it hung. It does not mean it cured. It does not mean the pack date is the same week.

The other miss is shame. People think asking for dates makes them difficult. It does not. Licensed shops in Michigan already had to print harvest date. You are reading the field the CRA told them to put there.

If two jars sit at the same THC % and only one has a harvest date you can explain, take that one. Percentage is a lab snapshot with a 10% swing baked into the rule. Dates plus nose beat a bigger number on tired flower. The THC potency myth is the long version of that. This version is shorter: do not let a new lid talk you out of an old cut.

Frequently Asked Questions #

Is pack date the same as harvest date? #

No. Harvest date is the cut. Pack date is the seal. They can be the same week. They often are not. R 420.504 requires harvest date on flower when it applies. It does not treat pack date as the same field.

Does Michigan require a pack date on flower jars? #

No. Michigan requires harvest date (if applicable) and a test analysis date. It does not require a packed-on date for flower. That is the plain text of R 420.504. The CRA best-practices list repeats "date of harvest, if applicable" for cultivator-to-sales-location labels. If a brand prints a pack date anyway, treat it as extra context.

Which date should I trust if harvest date and pack date disagree? #

Trust harvest date for age. Use pack date only to see how long this lid has been on. A disagreement is not a glitch. It is the normal gap between cut and seal. If the gap is huge and the shop cannot explain it, believe the older clock and use your nose.

Can a new pack date hide old flower? #

Yes. A last-week pack date can sit on flower that was cut months earlier. The lid is new. The plant is not. Stack harvest date, test analysis date, and pack date. A March harvest with a September pack is the pattern to catch. R 420.305 can also put a late test date on an older harvest if the lot sat before it was packaged in final form.

Does a September harvest date mean the jar is ready this week? #

No. A September harvest date means the plant came down in September. It does not mean it is dried, cured, tested, and honest to smoke the same week. Water still has to leave. PMC9404914 puts raw flower around 78–80% moisture. Menu timing, why cut week is not jar week, is in the September harvest Detroit post. On this jar, treat a same-week harvest and pack as a question, not a trophy.

What if the jar has no pack date? #

That is normal on Michigan flower. Read harvest date and test analysis date. The rule never required the extra stamp. Ask for the matching COA if you want the lab clock in writing. Missing harvest date on flower is the real problem, not a missing pack date.

What is a COA test analysis date? #

It is the day the licensed lab finished the passing test on that final-form lot, not the harvest, and not the pack. R 420.504(1)(h) requires the lab name and any test analysis date on the sealed container. A fresh test date on an old harvest means the paperwork is recent. The plant is still old. Match the package tag before you trust the PDF. How to read the terpene page is in the Michigan COA guide.

Does Michigan cannabis flower expire? #

Michigan does not require a printed expiration date on flower the way it does on edibles. Infused and edible rules in R 420.403 carry production and expiration language that flower labels do not copy. R 420.502(4) still bans sale after a printed expiration date if one exists. No date on the jar does not mean the flower stays loud forever. Smell still dies. PMC7593247 saw terpenoids fall fast in storage even in the dark.

How old is too old for a Michigan flower jar? #

There is no CRA "too old" number on flower. There is a nose. A harvest date two to four months back can still smoke well if it was stored dark and cool. A harvest date last week can smell like hay if it never hung. PubMed 30901710 needed years of light and heat to wipe THC; aroma leaves much sooner. If it smells like cardboard, it is too old for you, whatever the sticker says.

Should I ask the budtender for the COA that matches the tag? #

Yes. The tag on the jar should match the report they pull. The CRA tracks licensed packages through Metrc. A PDF for a different tag is a different lot. You are not being difficult. You are reading the same number the shop already had to print.

Does harvest date show up on pre-rolls too? #

If the pre-roll is flower, harvest date still applies when the rule says "if applicable." R 420.504 is about the sealed container holding the marihuana product, not only eighth jars. A 1g joint or a 20-pack still needs the identity fields and the harvest date when that product is flower. Read the tube the same way you read the jar: cut first, lid second.

Does a long gap between harvest and pack mean a better cure? #

Not by itself. A few honest weeks can mean a real dry and cure. PMC9404914 cites about two weeks at 18 °C / 60% RH as one studied cure setting. A six-month gap can mean the same care, or a tote in a warehouse. The gap is a clue. The nose is the check. Ask what filled the weeks.

If you want a jar you can actually read #

Harvest date is the cut. Pack date is the seal. Test date is the lab. Michigan already printed the first and the third. The second is optional. A Detroit shopper who reads all three will not get talked into a new lid on an old plant.

If you want the menu-season version of this problem, why September harvest energy is not the same as a jar on Woodward, read September harvest on a Detroit menu. If you want the lab sheet after the dates, read what lab-tested means and how to read a Michigan COA terpene panel. If you already bought the jar, keep it alive with storage that does not kill terpenes.

If you're curious to try flower you can date with your nose, singles or a 20-pack of 1g joints, start at the Divine Toke shop. We grow sun-grown organic flower in Michigan. We still want you to read the sticker.

Katie packs what you order. Jamie grew it. The dates on a licensed Michigan jar are still your job at the counter. Bring that habit home. Do not leave the lid off in a September kitchen.

A loud jar on a Tuesday night beats a new sticker on a dead one. Read the cut. Then go home.
