- Jasamba 11y agoAgreed, I'm not sure I can look at charas the same way again. It's definitely not hygienic, but still better than tobacco imo.
- 13of40 11y agoI knew an old guy in Northern California when I was a kid who said he'd made hashish by dressing up in biker leathers and walking through a pot field, then scraping off whatever stuck. (Clever, until you realize they probably weren't using brand new leathers for that...)
- pjlegato 11y agoEr. Do you imagine farmers and chefs all wear gloves and hazmat suits while handling the produce that you eat every day? And that's just the tip of the iceberg. If the idea of a few skin cells disturbs you, you'd better not look too closely into how food handling actually works in the real world.
- Carrok 11y agoYes. I work in a legal cannabis facility in Colorado. We wear full gear before coming in contact with any plants.
- pjlegato 11y agoFood processing doesn't happen that way. There are, for example, FDA guidelines for acceptable levels of hair, rodent feces, larvae, and "insect fragments" in food. And you eat it all every day! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Food_Defect_Action_Levels https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Food_Defect_Action_Levels
