Nothing like a bald-faced lie, eh? Not a single person in all of human history has ever died or suffered "consequences of the body and mind" from cannabis. It's pretty obvious this "writer" is nothing more than another pathetic shill for BigPharma. You know what really does kill millions of people and causes millions of consequences of the body and mind? The garbage BigPharma flogs for immense profits, but you never hear these paid off tits expound on that at all, do you?
I asked you a simple question, why did you dodge? -

“Because of the lack of regulation around strain names, there's no guarantee that one person's Girl Scout Cookies is actually the same thing as another person's Girl Scout Cookies,” says Nick Jikomes, Principal Research Scientist at Leafly.
This means that when users step into a cannabis dispensary to buy an ounce of Blue Dream, there’s nothing in the labeling that can guarantee that this Blue Dream carries the same, or similar, chemical profile as the one purchased the previous month. -
2021-11-30 at 4:54 PM UTCWhat most consumers don’t know is that there are no intellectual rights to most strain names. This means that any legal cannabis grower is free to market and sell their product with whatever name they choose, regardless of the plant’s origin or chemical composition.
Even if a breeder is completely positive that the seeds they’re using belong to one particular genetic family, there’s no guarantee that growing from those seeds will result in a pre-established chemical profile. -

How reliable are the labs that are actually doing the testing?
“In my opinion, laboratories should not be for profit. They should be either run by governments, universities or nonprofits,” said Gordon, who believes that a for-profit attitude in lab testing can lead to corrupt practices.
Gordon recalls several bad experiences with testing labs throughout her career. In one occasion, a lab delivered very different results for the same plant material. After being called upon this, they announced that Gordon’s sampled extracts had residual butane, when the extraction process had been done with ethanol.
In another experience, a lab offered to alter test results in exchange for higher fees. -

The only thing that matters is if it's indica, sativa or hybrid.
They do test for terpenes and stuff so they have an idea what the product actually is. Regulating "strain names" is just silly because that doesn't happen at all for plants like a roma tomato vs a beefsteak or a scotch bonnet vs a habanero.
Those don't have any regulations because who would try to call a plant a different plant? That's just weird. There are already consumer protection laws against false advertising, etc so I don't see the point of any specific regulations in the cannabis industry.
The companies can easily self regulate themselves by paying for their own genetic testing and proof which should be on every website. This creates a fantastic opportunity for anyone wanting to start a lab for testing plants and could potentially make a living off that
because when you allow the cannabis industry to thrive, or any industry they will positively affect other sectors of the economy. A robust economy is truly a marvel -

I believe regulations lead to corrupt practices. If there is only one government run testing lab and they fuck you, you are fucked. If the market is free you can test anywhere and choose which company you want to work with, find the one with the best reputation and price which creates competition. If there is corruption they will lose out to the non corrupt testing labs that ensure an accurate test.
Corruption cannot thrive in a truly free market because doing a good job is always more valued than lying and scamming. Technology has given consumers a lot of power and companies know this. In a robust and strong economy the cheaters, theives, scammers and corrupt have no competitive edge.
In a regulatory market the ones with the most power are the ones with the most money who can grease the right palms. Regulation does not favor innovation which is a cornerstone of the economy in an industrialized society. -

When companies can pay the labs to alter the results of the tests, how can you trust the data? Are you really buying the best weed or does that producer just have a larger marketing budget? -

That sounds like BS to me. I would like to see several other independently verified studies before I call anything confirmed -

That's against the law. Can they truly compete with a company that doesn't have to alter anything, that makes profit being honest and fair. They have to pay more money for a study to get a favorable result versus a company that produces a quality product, pays a normal price to get it tested, the customers love it, good sales and making profit
The company that pays more for a fake test is making less money for a higher risk. That's just stupid, I would not work with that person.

Get it tested by a different company if you don't trust it, one with a good reputation. -

I mean yeah it is basically a meme. I just created the thread so I had my own corner of the bbs to hang out in with like minded folks. I don’t actually care what strain I’m smoking. Speaking of I didn’t wake and bake so today already sucks. -

It's because of all the red tape and regulations. There is a reason the rich get richer and the poor stay poor because poor people can't afford to pay off the regulators and lobbyists. Instead small business owners are forced to pay thousands of dollars, millions even to do things in a regulatory framework.
Back in pre OSHA days you could buy a factory and start making industrial chemicals and nobody could stop you. Now you would go to prison and owe fines just for trying.
That's why nobody bothers, it's a huge hassle and headache so they just work for someone instead, selling their labor and being upper middle class at best. -
2021-11-30 at 6:33 PM UTCSmall-batch indoor grown
We grow all of our cannabis in ten precision-controlled, indoor grow-rooms, using a finely-calibrated, “flood and drain” hydroponic growing system. Our method is highly controlled, consistent, efficient, and repeatable and allows us to make precise refinements in pursuit of perpetually improving results.
High-quality genetics
We’ve curated our portfolio of dried flower products to offer a diverse range of experiences. Leveraging our segregated, onsite, mother facility, we’ll be continuing to expand our genetic library in an effort to continually reward loyal consumers with a constantly evolving
portfolio of cultivars.
Non-irradiated
Irradiation is the process of exposing dried cannabis flower to low levels of radiation in order to eradicate microbial contaminants. We believe there is sound evidence that suggests this process has harmful effects on some of the compounds in cannabis we love, like terpenes. Because we operate within such a small, tightly-controlled environment, under ultra-sanitary conditions, our process does not require irradiation or any other microbial cleaning process - contributing, we believe, to a higher-quality end-user experience. -

That's as stupid saying one person's watermelons are different than another person's watermelons. -
