Good to knowThey don't make a secret of the practice. Link below is from Aurora, the second largest cannabis producer in the world.
Why Aurora
Bacteria and mold can affect almost any plant crop, marijuana is no exception. Exposure to bacteria and mold may lead to infections, which is a particular risk for medical users with immune-related conditions. This is one of the reasons CanniMed® products are treated with gamma irradiation. We take measures to control mold and bacteria, but irradiation fully eliminates their presence. Irradiation is a recognized and reputable control process that does not alter the chemical properties of dried marijuana. Many of the food products Canadians consume every day, including meats and spices, are treated with gamma irradiation.
What sprays are they using in the legal Canadian bud that we should be concerned about?It's true and GRAS, (Generally Regarded As Safe), but still something I try to avoid. Same with a microwave. I'll heat water in one but not anything with food including coffee.
I'd be more concerned with all the sprays they are allowed to use. Safe for food they say but for something we smoke? Same stuff used for veggies etc but nobody smokes cucumbers. lol
I've never bought any gov't pot but have seen some friends bought. Total crap imho and the black market has nothing to fear!
Irradiation compensates for shitty growing and shitty growing practices. It has been tested on food. How many tests have been done on combusted and inhaled irradiated materials? Not to mention how it kills most of the terpenes rendering the cannabis useless in effect, flavor, and smell.They don't make a secret of the practice.

They have a list of 20+ sprays they're authorized to use. Yummmm........
THEY ARE CRASHING DUE TO THEIR IGNORANCE with HOW TO GROW THE SIMPLEST WEED THERE IS
The sooner they realize ......................the fast they will understand and see first hand........its ONLY an issue if you are medical like the reason why this is what it is today lolPest control products for use on cannabis - Canada.ca
Licence holders' obligations in the use of pest control products (PCPs) in cannabis production, registered PCPs, testing information.www.canada.ca
Like all the sprays.. and it's fine if they are on the finished product, up to some limit the government just pulled out of the air.
They really failed on the legal weed thing.
There's a list of 16 or so sprays they are permitted to use. Various pesticides and anti-fungals mainly. All are permitted for use on foods we eat but there's never been any studies to determine if they are safe for a plant that is smoked other than tobacco maybe. I would think it's fairly problematic to determine whether poor health outcomes are because of sprays or the tobacco itself which is already slightly radioactive from the phosphate fertilizers that they started using on it in the 30s and still use. Lung cancer started showing up big time in the 50s where it wasn't a big killer before. Again problematic as there are around 6000 different chemicals allowed to be used on tobacco while growing, curing and processing.
It's the dozens of additives in tobacco that make it far more poisonous. Mmmmmm benzene and formaldehyde. Gotta make sure that cig burns evenly and doesn't go out after all.....There's a list of 16 or so sprays they are permitted to use. Various pesticides and anti-fungals mainly.

They can use the sprays right up to harvest time and that's a damn good reason to stick with a local grower if you know one or grow your own. I haven't had to buy street pot in 30 years and sure ain't buying gov't schwag!

Whys it legal poison? Sounds like your personal bitterness and paranoia with the system. Regulated product goes through rigorous testing. Do you send your home grow to a lab? Obviously growing your own is great, but it's not realistic for plenty of folks. And if weed is actually medicine it needs to get regulated like all other medicines. Why would the government do otherwise.
