The Time Has Come For Endorsed Cannabis Testing
Last week a dispensary was closed in Los Angeles. The stated reason being that the cannabis was contaminated with various pesticides. Is there reason to be concerned – sure there is. Although almost all foods we ingest do contain similar contaminants, Cannabis as a medicine should be held to higher standards.
Here is the rub. I have visited the several “underground” cannabis dispensaries in California. They all operate very inefficiently as they are not certain if they have the legal right to exist. Whether it is city/state/federally based, if we are to held to reasonable standards, we must be able to openly and fully legally test the product.
Any individual dispensary will find it clumsy and very expensive to test the Cannabis delivered to them, although this could be affordable if each strain is purchased in minimum 1 pound increments, the cost is affordable. Clearly it would make much more sense for all sellers to test their Cannabis and receive certificates with test results. Of course there are lots of details to work out, but it must be done.
Again, if we are now being held to these new standards, we must be allowed to legally perform these tests.

Totally agreed. We must legally allowed to operate and have clubs and then we can test without feeling like we are wasting money. The purer the better.
