If it came from a legal source no way. The laws surrounding California’s weed industry mandate testing for chemicals, fungi and the like. It’s what has made the legalization here go so slow is the testing portion to meet state requirements. Many cancer and aids patients smoke weed, and impurities like fungi or bacteria can easily become a health crisis. Sorry, but legal California weed is pretty clean.
Also, in response tot he cartel stuff. With all the states out here legalizing, most of the cartels have gotten out of the business because there is not enough money for the risk. The bottom has fallen out of the cheap weed. My buddy grows for a guy in Colorado. He was inquiring what he should grow this year. His guy took him to his storage shed and showed him how much he couldn’t move because the market is so saturated right now he was about to start burning in his fireplace to get rid of all of it.
I understand how the legally regulated product works, I send out mandatory samples for testing every 3 weeks before I can even give it to the processor for handling....BUT, I also know people who hold a processing AND a compliance license, and they also dump rejected product to the black market for a cheap ticket. I never did have to go that route because I give a rip about what my clients ingest so I don't use chemicals (or even synthetics, for that matter)
For the record, a saturated market demands quality. I live in a saturated market, and produce upwards of 40lbs cured flower every 6 weeks, on top of the many extracts. My biggest problem is that I cannot keep up with demand. I'm a licensed, regulated, completely organic, and 100% legal marijuana business.
Enough with the serious stuff, I should have just made the comment that people in Elmwood got jealous of him, he had that fluer de AaiYee!
