On Friday, CNS News posted a story about San Francisco Bay Area marijuana. Evidently, legal marijuana in California is not necessarily pure as the wind-driven snow.
The article reports:
“The greatest threat standing in the way of California’s march toward legalized marijuana isn’t Attorney General Jeff Sessions or Big Pharma. It’s the cannabis industry itself,” San Francisco Magazine reports:
“Much of the roughly $1 billion in cannabis sold in California’s 1,000-plus dispensaries every year is dirty.”
A study of buds, edibles and concentrates entered in last August’s HempCon competition found that 80 percent was tainted. The study, conducted by Anresco, found mold, pesticides and harmful solvents in the pot products.
Some of the health threats posed by the tainted marijuana are:
- Cancer,
- Reproductive toxicity,
- Developmental toxicity
- Lung infections,
- Cardiovascular issues, and
- Neurotoxicity
How is that any better than tobacco?
