Small farmers/ businesses are the answer. They don’t carry enough clout to pervert the lab results.
Also standardized lab procedures from lab to lab.
Of course home grows for anyone who wants to do it. Can always sell surplus into the system for people unable or unwilling to grow themselves
They already standardized the procedures in october 2023. There are some bills getting pushed through now that would make it possible to be easier to have a microbusiness license + on site sales and or hospitality.
I just saw that another company was recalled. Their name was “Higher Ground Holdings LLC” and they didn’t do business as anything else
So I went to the website and saw this
It was over 18 strains affected. Who Knows how many other companies bought their bulk shit.
Should be very easily tracked as to who bought their flower
Not the only state that’s having trouble…
Extra fun part of this:
Some states, including Michigan and Connecticut, allow the sale of cannabis with mold readings 10 times the Massachusetts limit.
I go to MA to purchase because CT’s dispensaries are a joke. Hopefully my recent haul will get me through to harvest and I won’t have to buy from anyone ever again.
This thread scares me tbh, i will never in a million years walk in a place and buy weed. Im not suprised though…crazy.
I seek out the high-mold shit, hoping for the mold that caused the burning of witches in the Middle Ages. No, not that, not today. 
problem now, at least in wv, is that most of the weed you buy off the street came from a dispo out of state somewhere. almost every single one of the people i know that sell weed does it. only one person still gets theirs elsewhere.
Ya i realized that after i said it. Thank god i grow my own then. Def dont want to inhaling anykind of pesticide. I imagine its cancer causing too. Just messed up in all kinds of ways.
i found that something on some of it gives me a terrible headache and i assume it is pesticides based on this and other discussions. reminds me of the time me and a few friends tried to trip by spraying hot shot on oregano and baking it. sprayed it about five times i think because we read that raid would do that, but only had hot shot so we used that instead. someof the shit i used to do makes me not quite so bothered by a little pesticide every now and again. i’ve smoked way worse knowingly. weed in the us is all about money, always has been, always will be. medical, recreational, black market, doesn’t matter. there may be a few of us that grow it for the love of it, but most of us grow it to save money, avoiding poison is secondary but i would say the next reason if i had to guess.
All this weed that makes people sleepy with no high…
Pesticides? CBN?
Legal weed has attracted a completely different client than illegal weed did 30 years ago.
The youth think this groggy weed is called couch lock… That’s not what couch lock means. Couch lock is an increased gravity compression, nothing to do with sleepyness. Couch lock doesn’t mean “turn your body and brain to mush” , it alters your perception of reality like drugs used to be heralded for. If you gave Purps to a modern ‘purple weed’ smoker he’d think it was laced and flavored and would be begging to come down from the trip. They just want to nod out in a socially acceptable way. Junior fentanyl users.
I don’t socialize with people who tell me their favorite strain smells like permanent markers and makes them sleepy, for the same reason I don’t associate with people who sniff magic markers and huff gas… These people are quite happy putting toxic chemicals in their body. #NotMyEntourageEffect
Legalization has turned weed into a paint huffer glue eater product, Raid and windex smoker’s delight. Nothing has been more decisive than legalization. It’s an entire industry built around bad product that no one would smoke before legalization.
As a guy that lives in a highly illegal state and has been growing for many years, fortunately I don’t have any experience with legal dispensary herb and not really interested either. All I know is that us smaller home growers put everything we can into each crop including TLC so no way in hell commercial larger scale operations can compare. Just like homegrown fruits and veggies always beat store bought but regardless wouldn’t surprise me if pesticides and short cuts are taking place bc profit is the #1 goal
We called it back dooring. I knew legal farms in cali growing 10k+ lbs a year, and maybe 5-10% was actually sold in the state. Most went out of state just like you mentioned. Ive no joke sat in multiple meetings when these farms were going online where the coversation was “were going to control the whole legal and black market”. Essentially gov’t sanctioned monopolies. And now markets across the country get no options other than that horrific corporate boof. Really sad to see.
“Glass House’s production capacity will increase to over 600,000 pounds annually, an expansion of over 70% vs. current capacity” And whats even worse is that it is owned by a former narcotics cop.
Really, first time hearing that. Seed junky partnered with them and heard things went south. No respect for someone that partners with ex cops.
Who’s the ex cops? I agree 100 percent. I don’t want to support anyone who is former law enforcement, judges, da, police and especially congress members
I’m not going to be buying glass house.
And then I just post about a former DA who used to aggressively prosecute cannabis, now talking of legalizing it federally. People can change though and maybe she saw what has happened in California, or maybe it is just another opportunity to grab stoner votes.
