I e-mailed these guys a week ago, on the thursday that just passed, so i guess it would be a week an four days ago. I asked about shipping, compassionate pricing and irradiation. Here is the rediculous response i received.

Thanks for your email, we apologize for the delay as there has been a high volume of inquiries and registrations through the first week.



To Answer your questions,



1. The cost of shipping is a $5 flat rate

2. We will be offering compassionate pricing, but we have not finalized the program yet.

3. Aphria absolutely utilizes irradiation to deliver the safest and most effective medicinal marihuana to our clients. We believe that irradiation is currently the best, cleanest and most reliable technology to eliminate naturally occurring mould in naturally grown marihuana plants.

This is the entire e-mail. lol. They're talking about irradiation like it's good. OMF....

This was my response :

Thanks for the response. The shipping cost is good. I personally believe the best way to pass QA testing is to keep your space sanitary, pests under control and humidity levels in check, but irradiation is a good back up I guess. There are LP's who don't irradiate. To my understanding their actually haven't been any tests done to verify the effect that the process has on the cannabis, or the people who consume it. Radiation is not good though, that's for sure.

Greenhouse grown medicine will never pass, no matter what pharmacopoeia is chosen by a particular LP.

Thanks anyways.

Arent all commercial pork chicken and beef farmers that process their own product doing this too?
I know some vegetable and fruit farmers do.
I am not a fan of any kind of radiation either but u all realize that holding your cell phone 10hrs aday and or the wifi and sat signals passing through your bodies are kind of doing the same thing.

My apologies,



Since that email was originally drafted, things have changed.



1. There is no cost for shipping, it is included in the price.



I am interested to know why you feel that greenhouse grown medicine will not pass?



Furthermore regarding irradiation, Here is the complete statement from our Chief Scientific Officer.



"Aphria absolutely utilizes irradiation to deliver the safest and most effective medicinal marihuana to our clients. We believe that irradiation is currently the best, cleanest and most reliable technology to eliminate naturally occurring mould in naturally grown marihuana plants. Irradiation has over 50 years of proven use in the production of medicines and foods. It is far superior to other alternative such as the application of pesticides and fungicides or the use of fumigation, chemical treatment or damaging steam.



Aphria continually strives to research and apply the latest proven growing and processing technology to deliver best available product. Currently there is no better technology than irradiation."



----Gary Leong, Chief Scientific Officer.

My response...

Hi there, Greenhouse medicine has too much exposure to outside contaminants such as pollen and other airborne substances, as opposed to closed environment agriculture, which is what most other LP's are using, avoiding the spread of unwanted contamination.

Your greenhouses may also be closed in, I have no knowledge of your set-up to be fair.

From experience, I feel that irradiation decreases the terpenes therefore making the medicine less enjoyable to consume.

As well, the statement from your Head QAP doesen't touch on cannabis, but refers to food. Two different substances, many different forms of consumption for cannabis. Irradiation also would have no way to make the cannabis more effective. There is no way that it could increase the active ingredients, though may make the inexperienced user believe it may.

As a patient I avoid Irradiation and feel that I'm right to do so. Many experienced patients will share my opinion.

Maybe you should ask them how they feel about irradiation causing unique radiolytic products, a class of chemicals not otherwise found in nature. Or maybe the fact that irradiated cannabis has the potential to produce cyclobutanones, which have been shown to cause cancer in lab rats. Or maybe the fact that irradiation destroys terpenes which can limit the bioavailabiluty of THC and other medicinal cannabinoids. I'm curious what they would say.
