I disagree entirely. If you tell me a product is organic, then it should be produced without synthetic pesticides or hormones. I realize it's used in a different context with regard to MJ, but it's deceptive and needs to stop. Organic may be just a happy word to you, but it has a very specific meaning to the rest of the world. Again... why not just give the consumers the whole story if it's no big deal?



I think a restaurant is a good example and analogy. I think your shop should be regularly inspected by the health department, like restaurants. Like restaurants, I think the ratings should be public record so your customers can see if you're following the law. Like restaurant licensing, you should have to pass a criminal background check when applying for a license. Like a restaurant, you should pay taxes. Like restaurants, if you sell an impure or harmful product you should be shut down. I'd be fine with dispensaries being treated like restaurants, but I doubt you would. In short, I want dispensaries to be safe, ubiquitous and profitable, like restaurants.
You know what really gets me is the very second you mention hydro to some they cringe and say " I only smoke organic dirt grown", well my response is this, there are multiple levels of hydro, one being recirculating deep water culture feeding directly from a fish tank using only fish emulsion water, is that not organic? I myself use a recirc DWC system and Advance Organic nutes, so is this organic or hydro or could it possibly be both? In my recent research I have found material of the Chinese and Japanese using hydroponic style outdoor grow methods for hundreds of years. Hmmmmmmm, something to think about. I was also told recently by a lawyer that claiming and labeling organic is a legal term regulated by the federal gov., well if that is true are disp. claiming organic opening themselves up for some kind of trouble, do not know
