But — after reading the article - do you believe the benefits outweigh the risks?
- bdamm 7y agoYes. This is resolvable via packaging, regulation & enforcement changes. We have these same issues in pet food, baby formula, and ammunition.
- austinheap 7y agoBlack market flower can also be unsafe if treated with the same chemicals. The risk with oils is that they bio-accumulate toxins during the extraction process, meaning the toxic PPM radically climbs as the non-cannabinoid organic material is blasted away by the CO2. The issue with both flower & oil is that black market producers cannot afford to lose a crop, so if it gets mold or pests then unscrupulous manufacturers will do whatever they have to do to salvage the season.
- SnarkAsh 7y agoCurrently, no, because I don't have any legal options where I am currently living, and my own experience and stories like this have pushed me away from black market products. But I believe that these are a much better product, when manufactured by accountable, regulated, legal companies. I hope we'll have more safe products available going forward, instead of a ban that helps sustain unsafe black market products.
