Shortly after sending the MMC application we received a notice from the ag department that we could only use a "Legal for Trade" Certified scale.
The $300 scale, while nice, weighs exactly the same as our crappy $50 scale. I had checked it with calibration weights before we got the notice and it was dead on.
The new $300 scale is dead on too, but it settles much faster.
In addition to buying the "legal for trade" scale, you also have to apply to the state for a license to operate that scale. They will come and check it once a year so you have to have an approved scale.
I know this is additional expensive, time, and paperwork for the MMCs, but as a consumer I'm glad the State is requiring this.Quote:

The time is coming when every bit of pot sold retail will be as fully inspected and labeled as our produce. I'm looking forward to it - there have been too many stories about shops selling pot with pests, fungus and mold. I shiver to think about what sorts of noxious chemicals these growers are using on their crop and then pouring down the drain. Their days are numbered.
I would hope they do a far better job then they do with our produce, meats, poultry and general food safety issues here in the US. The egg recall was epic, also remember the spinach recall, careful what you wish for.:wtf:Quote:

No MMC has bothered to recall moldy or pestilential marijuana. (Reading this board indicates that some shops are even refusing to refund patients' money!) It is my fervent prayer that MMJ will be as closely monitored as eggs or spinach, and that the recalls are just as epic, and just as public. Think about it: in this state straw and hay must be certified pest free before it can be fed to horses, but a MMC can knowingly sell a cancer patient medicine crawling with mites and mold. It makes no sense at all!
Let the sunshine in. Inspect everything. Certify everything. Label everything.
I have to agree even though it's going to be a huge pain in the ass, and even though I'm 100% organic...Quote:

IDK if your scale was certified but you've always been extremely generous with your weights. :thumbsup:Quote:
