At one point in time it felt as though cannabis restrictions across the country would never ease, no matter how much time elapsed. You couldn’t go to a new state and become a medical marijuana patient. Even California still hadn’t passed its historic cannabis law at the time. This is how things were when I was younger and I’m absolutely amazed by the significant change that I have witnessed in the several decades from that time. Now, over half of the country has some form of legal cannabis that can be purchased by approved adults within the states as long as they are within these laws. Even at that, the laws around the country are not uniform. The medical marijuana regulations/ rules are vastly different depending on the state one is from. For some time now, certain states did not impose lab testing on all of their products. However, safety measures have since improved as we are now seeing it as a mandatory requirement in most medical and recreational cannabis markets. Still, the state governments need to crack down on lab shopping which is an extreme problem. Laboratories are often taking bribes from marijuana producers to get favorable test results with the highest THC levels plus the cleanest purity tests. It’s downright disgusting to see how much lab shopping is happening in states across the country. It’s even worse when you go to a state that has no lab testing rules altogether. The reality is that you may have no idea in such a situation what is contained inside your marijuana products. For all you know, they could have metal shavings or mold spores in the cannabis flower products. To be safe, it is better that you buy marijuana from a medical cannabis dispensary that is highly-rated for independent testing and shopper satisfaction.
