I have not yet read the article and won't until after work, but I can assure you that your headline is more accurate than you know. At one time my son worked in a legal grow facility here in Colorado and would tell me stories about the banned pesticides used during even the flowering stage. I wouldn't buy anything from a dispensary. Organic my ass.
I'm also concerned with the increased consumption of concentrated THC products. They use butane many times (especially in the black market) and that is bad news for someone smoking it. Look for ice water extraction if you want a safer product.
I grow organic for my friends and family but don't use it myself. I may post pictures in the gardening community in time, but it's not a high priority for me compared to other plants I grow. Bottom line is grow your own if you want to be sure. The first few years may be full of pests but as time goes the beneficial bugs move in and your garden will be beautiful and pure. Organic is the only way. Bubble bags are cheap if you want concentrates
I've grown for 15 years. Favorite method is organic soil in fabric pots. Second favorite is hydro in buckets pulsed by a timer like an ebb and flow system. Have never gotten into concentrates. Haven't noticed any cognitive or health effects despite near daily usage.
It was recently legalized in my state so I am finally able to do an outdoor grow.
It only makes sense that pesticides are used for commercial production. Why put all that labor into a plant just to lose it to bugs and mold? Of course they will spray it - nobody cares about the health of the end user.
It handles snow well. It also handles down to 28 degrees just fine. I've been growing in Colorado (Denver area) for almost 30 years, straight in the ground. I have had massive compost piles every year and the clay soil is in good shape now. Some years I'm afraid the plants will get too big.
