Weed is now legal for recreational use
in California...legally. For years you hippy sons of bitches have
been smoking it regardless. But my friend turned me on to an issue
that I hadn't considered when it comes to the mass production of
marijuana. No, not if it is organic or not. Fuck that. How about them
pesticides? Yeah. That thought never crossed my mind until Cam
mentioned it after listening to a podcast discussing it. Besides
trying to figure out licensing and banking these shops and the
consumers need to know what is being sprayed on shit that they will
be smoking and in some cases eating.
Right now there are over 1,300 medical
dispensaries and they have until the middle of this year to sell all
their possibly poisoned weed. I am making it sound way more dramatic
than it is. Or maybe not dramatic enough. I have self diagnosed mental issues and
can't always tell the difference. By summer time there are going to
be stronger standards about having crops tested for pesticides and
the amount so be worried when shit becomes cheaper in June. Under
California's current marijuana laws it is said that less than 5% of
the inventory has been tested for contaminants. Some of these can be
fungicides and rodent killers.
