And doesn't smoking cause cancer?
The myth that recreational pot is "safer cause it's tested" was started by the Liquor Control Board to cover up their own failure to establish pesticide testing standards. Don't believe me? Can Analytical 360, or any of the recreational testing labs, and ask them about the LCB's pesticide testing standards. Then let me know how much "safer" you think you are spending 3 times as much for recreational pot.
What else would you expect from the Stranger....the biggest cheerleader for I-502 in Washington?
These materials were the subject of a lot of research by the USDA during the 80s and 90s for fruit and vegetable production, but this research was abandoned in part because of the persistence of paclobutrazol and damionozide in the environment and in the plants themselves (up to 4 years in apple trees) and the failure of the materials to pass out of the mammalian toxicity tests, where liver damage was reported. Cancer is not the only thing you should be concerned about vis a vis pesticide contamination.
Because the state has taken ownership of cannabis production and is expecting to sell their cannabis to medical cannabis patients, it seems a glaring omission to not have a set of defined protocols, assays and standards for pesticide and other chemical contaminants. I would never purchase state-grown cannabis until such safeguards are in place.

How much do they affect the crop?
We are insect phobic in this country, but we love our poisons.
I think we have it backwards.

His place burned down because he hired his hillbilly kids and their 3-fingered friend to run the operation without any indoor growing (or electrical) experience or training whatsoever. They were also involved in a fire in their home last year around this time. Coincedence? Doubtful.
I would love to see not only the LCB audit their operation, but also OSHA, L&I, EPA and may as well throw the IRS in there too. THE most half-assed operation under I502 who didn't find a corner along the way that they didn't mind cutting.
They should take last week's fire as a sign and just sell the business.
Good article.
