The legalization of Cannabis in Canada as well as multiple states across the United States is a huge step forward, especially for medical users. It’s no longer difficult to get access it, but there’s something that not enough people are considered, and that’s what’s in it. How is it grown? What pesticides are used? What type of testing process does it go through? When it comes to the testing of marijuana, it’s like the cosmetics industry. There isn’t much oversight.  Even though marijuana testing labs have cropped up to keep tabs on retail marijuana, with each state trying out different regulatory processes, many of these testing labs have been found to lack oversight themselves.

This is why more people are finding how to obtain their licence to grow their own cannabis. That’s where we come in, we help people obtain their medical marijuana license so they can grow as much as they need. We even help people obtain their prescription by connecting them with compassionate doctors. Doctors that recognize that some people may need a license to grow a lot of marijuana for their condition, or to make it into oil, for example. So contact us if you’re interested in growing your own.

There have been multiple scientific studies published outlining the presence of pesticides, industrial solvents, growth regulators, heavy metals, bacteria  hazardous materials discovered commercially available cannabis products. This shouldn’t really come as a surprise.

Not long ago, a gentleman by the name of Jeffrey Raber, PhD, CEO of The Werc Shop in California state gathered a team and actually tested 57 different cannabis concentrate samples. The results were disturbing to say the least. The study by Werc,  found that more than 80 percent of the cannabis samples were contaminated, with several strains containing unsafe levels of solvent and pesticide residues. Residual amounts of isopentane, a solvent used to concentrate cannabis, were detected in 30 percent of the solvent-based “dabs,” while others contained traces of butane, heptane, hexane, isobutene, isopropyl alcohol, neopentane, pentane or propane.

This makes it clear that a lot of cannabis out there isn’t really cannabis as nature intended it to be and could actually be quite harmful. We also recently published an article pertaining to genetically modified cannabis, you can read that HERE.

The only way to know what’s in your cannabis is to grow your own!

n Ontario, cannabis consumers seem to be turning away from the province’s legal suppliers and returning their underground sellers, or simply starting the process to grow their own. Why? Because the Ontario Cannabis Store, which is the only  legal, licensed and regulated retailer in the province, keeps making some big mistakes.

Since sales began in October, they’ve failed big time with a number of  privacy breaches, misdirected orders and have even incorrectly labeled products, not to mention recalled products for mold and, perhaps even more disturbing,  sold Cannabis with bugs in them. Yes, you read that correctly, BUGS.  Many orders from the Ontario Cannabis store have been contaminated insects.
