Rec pot industry's dirty little secrets. * 5
    #26625678 - 04/24/20 08:45 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

So, ive worked for a few different I 502 producers in Washington state over the years.

Frankly as a long time smoker some of the things I saw really got under my skin..

It seems like people that spend so much getting their foot in the door with legal weed would take more pride in it, but no.

The first place I worked for was owned by a young couple in their early 30s(Neither of which smoked weed)

First of all, they brought all the Fresh cannabis into this metal building to dry, right next to it was a separate room where it was all shucked and trimmed.
This building was nasty, very dusty and on top of that Id see rat droppings from time to time.

So being this was Washington, things would get very moldy....
This particular company would pick chunks of mold off the bud, manicure it and package it up for retail sale....

This always amazed me cause youd think the testing would be very stringent for the amount of taxes you pay on it....


That's not the worst part, those moldy chunks of it they saved were set aside and given to a different company to make concentrates with....
Ever get some BHO with a really nasty flavor that was exceptionally harsh?.........

I eventually quit because I didnt want to be apart of that..


The next company I worked for had me focus on more of the cultivation aspect of it..

The first week I was there one of the higher ups handed me a mini shop vac.....
I was like wtf is this for? am I going to be cleaning one of the greenhouses?

They open up one of the greenhouses.... every single plant is covered in enormous amounts of spider mites...

I was instructed to vacuum all of the webs and little bugs off of these plants...

The amount of web on these plants, thinking about it makes me want to gag.

Sure enough they cleaned, packaged and sold all of that disgusting cannabis....

They also pumped their plants full of chemical fertilizers instead of doing it the right way.


It really just made me miss Medical bud.

At least that had high standards because it was supposed to be medicine.

Makes you miss the weed man.....

Too bad Washington state instantly gave the entire industry away to clueless millionaires that only give a fuck about the profit and have no desire to grow quality cannabis.

Just know, some of those "High end" 200$ ozs from the store, very well could have been covered in mold or spider mites at one point, oh and pumped up with enormous amounts of fertilizers to make the job of the cultivators easier....

Dont even get me started with concentrates, its disgusting how many corners are cut in that part of the market...

The fact that they can sell barely purged, chlorophyll/mold concentrates at all makes me very angry.
You get what you pay for.

Next time you see some 5-10$ grams of oil at the store remember....

God damn man, I would have expected a lot more from legal weed. Granted, it's managed by non-smokers, so it's kinda expected. They see it as just another drug and as potheads as lazy stoners who don't care about life. It sucks.

I thought all the legal weed had to be tested for chemicals and also molds. Probably only get the good stuff tested and the mold passes? Crazy stuff I wouldn't doubt it happening a bunch in California also.

If I were in your shoes I'd totally try to find a way to anonymously whistle-blow/call out/report those companies on their shady & dirty practices.

...but then it's probably hear-say and would require proof :shrug: , I dunno how all that sort of stuff works. Perhaps they'd at least get a surprise inspection and audit if something like that was reported to what ever the governing agency is up there for cannabis.

Big worm used to do some work or was involved somehow inspecting, and he said that he was one of the only people who did it right rather than accepting bribes, etc.

The medical pot industry was a lot better, which is weird because it was a hell of a lot less regulated. You'd think quality would have gone up, but it seems to have gone down instead.

Washington's model kind of sucks.

well they could just irradiate it like in canada then sell :wink: . all in all we have a different problem of TOO much regulations loosening slowly. some ways its good but mostly customer gets pre packaged grams from 4 months ago and its impossible to get room filling dank. 

they finally just said no sprays zero. which is awesome, no potssium bicarbonate, noda.

this summer will be first summer of full outdoor. these guys mostly are not super bright so probabaly will be a fail but does mean cheap oils.
