zeebudz Report post Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Interesting article from The Verge, discussing the complexity of cannabis testing. One interesting quote: Quote Lori Glauser, the co-founder and COO of cannabis-testing company EVIO (formerly named Signal Bay), estimates there are 30 people across the United States with the kind of experience California is requiring. https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/22/16808964/california-weed-laws-legal-prop-64-safe-labs Edited December 22, 2017 by zeebudz 1 Michael Komorn reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mibrains Report post Posted December 23, 2017 i found this interesting.... thanks for the link,,, a good read this morning Tobacco, for instance, seems like it would offer a comparable case study, but doesn’t give us much useful information. The tobacco industry has EPA approval for many different kinds of pesticides. (Then again, Big Tobacco has some of the world’s most persuasive lobbyists.) And nobody’s arguing that tobacco can be used as medicine for cancer patients. An average cigarette contains dozens of carcinogens and hundreds of toxins, including arsenic and glass fibers, and even smoking tobacco in a pipe or a hand-rolled cigarette is known to have detrimental health effects. Isolating pesticides in tobacco research, or even following up on the few pesticide guidelines they have put in place, hasn’t been a priority for the EPA. 1 Michael Komorn reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
