More reasons to grow your own (link)

That's the way it always goes...producers chase the $$, cut corners, reduce the quality, and who knows what else all in the name of profits. I don't fault a business for trying to max profits but don't cut the quality of the product and lie about it. Next thing you know some producer will introduce (i.e. CUT it with something) some type of 'infusion' with another chemical or drug. Not for me. I'll grow my own.
 
Yup here’s another study from up here in Ontario
Ontario_cannabis_study_shows_illegal_cannabis_fails_to_deliver_the_goods.pdf


If your lucky enough to have legal weed , I think you should support the system even if it’s not perfect. The black market can be much worse. I’m sure there are some that are good too, but most will choose the $’s over clean, honest weed.

Growin your own weed easy is the best.

Dab, you fools! Dab!!! Them crystals aint fentanyl and them terps aint Pine-Sol!
THC-A percentages (there is no THC in weed) before and after trimming/sifting may be completely accurate. Might even be the best of the best of the crop was chosen for label testing and the worst of the worst chosen for reports.
RDA contents and food vitamins and minerals can be inaccurate. Somewhere along the lines someone tested, say, a fresh Roma tomatoe and said it contained this and that much of this and that. Since then, multiple Roma tomatoe crops are able to be produced in a year because of breeding, fertilizing, and early harvesting. If you have ever seen a truckload of Roma tomatoes coming straight from the field, they are mostly green and forced to redden up. Those tomatoes will not contain the same vitamins and minerals as the originally tested vine ripened Roma. A more accurate nutrition label should say, 'May contain up to...'
The products I buy often have a terp breakdown. They say, up front, 'Potential.'
Carry on.
 
I've never tried to Dab. I know it's your only way you partake Gingerbeard isn't it ? For me it's too much of investment and takes way too much weed to produce it. I'm getting foggy enough slowly coming out of a life changing crappy dream. I'm too much of a light weight physically an mentally to handle it i think but i've never done it. It's too strong and i got lots of prodjects i do being on my own . The weed plant i grow is clean an pure it's for myself an friends. Some of my friends much younger have tried it or do it dabs but it lays them out, can't do nothin and i like being productive during the day. Only evenings an lightly during daytime. But that's me and too each theire own on how they medicate to drown out this shitty new world order were forced to live under. I did'nt vote for it
 
From what I could tell with Canada Cannabis legislation..it is was all focused on who, what, where, how much and how many...and not one mention of any restrictions regarding chemicals, or any other thing related to the grow process.. perhaps there is different legislation for commercial grow opps.
 
Although far from perfect, there is actually more to legalization than that here. Including in Ontario where I live(and I suspect federally too ), 97 different tests for pesticides and contaminates are performed by third party labs (not the producer, and not the government).
This is not the only quality control they do. Ill post some more information for those who are interested below .

Don’t panic!!! I do Dab occasionally when I get the good stuff.

I like to taste it that way first when I get really top shelf rosin .
I try to be strictly solventless. Mostly I just smoke the hash I make
 
Nah I’m not a fan of the big corporate producers at all. Theyve made it really hard for smaller producers to take part and I think that sucks. It just about making money and not growing good bud and taking care of people.
I just think we’re lucky to have legal weed and I’m hoping in time they can work out a better system, unfortunately a lot of good small producers will not survive.
We’ve been regulating alcohol for 100 years and it’s still problematic so who knows, just hoping 🤞
 
In the interest of good data, and my own belief in using accurate factual information to inform both my growing and education of Cannabis, and the industry at large. I thought I would post this as a follow up to this conversation when I found it this morning.
Also another reason to just grow your own….

Canadian cannabis industry reckons with inflated THC label claims

Competition in this wild weed market and the money will break morals and lack of ethics since the dawn of legilization. I will always grow my own and i will support the small unnoticed grower.
 
Interesting article, and I think it is happening here as well. My brother told me he no longer asks about the THC content, instead he goes by terpene profiles. He said it gets him higher than going by THC levels.
 
I have personally fallen into this trap. I always went for the highest THC the dispensery had. Some times over 30%. They had a huge sale on some lower THC strains. 21%. I can't tell the difference between the two as far as potency
 
This is so true Mollisol i've also experienced the same effect when i've purchased from dispensary do to running low. There's a glut of weed here so prices are way down. When i go buy some it's usually no more than $ 4-6 a gram and indica dominant hybreds 20% or so. I don't trust some large farms do to what's going on within them. Would not surprise me a bit to know they spray scents, flavors prior to it going into dispensary. They've caught major growers lately inflating THC % and infusions like gummies and tinture. I've researched a few farms here in Oregon and i know who i would buy from at the dispensary trust worthy growers.
