I can't tell if this is hyperbole or not. Would these things actually happen? Are tomatoes and grapes not available for sale or what?
- Lazare 9y agoIt's not hyperbole (although I can't vouch for its accuracy). What the person you're replying to is saying is that: 1. There are some (fairly standard) food safety regulation in place in Oregon that govern acceptable levels of different toxins in baby food, produce, etc. 2. There are some entirely different and vastly stricter safety regulations in place in Oregon for cannabis. 3. If you tested baby food, tomatoes, and grapes which pass the actual Oregon regulations for baby food, tomatoes, and grapes under the cannabis regulations, they would fail, potentially by an order of magnitude. 4. Which suggests that either Oregon (and basically all other states) have dangerously lax regulations on food and produce, OR that Oregon has ridiculously strict regulations on cannabis.
