I found a place that sells $30 oz. Well several of those oz taste like freaking mold!! I know Oregon tests but if they only test four ounces out of fifty pounds they could miss it and I think they did. Two different strains taste moldy. Gross.

Can I use 190 proof ethanol and make a tincture? I know how I’m just wondering if it would kill the mold. I’m not smoking that crap.

Some strains have a musty mold taste imo.

If you have a UV light break open a couple nugs and shine a UV light on it and if its moldy, the mold will glow.

Yeah Iv'e had some sativa with a mildewy taste but this taste like straight up mold. I hope you are right and it's just terps but it seems off. I don't have a UV light to check.

I was about to post the same thing
I use this one for just about everything...checking buds, looking at wounds on my dog to make sure it's not ringworm, check for body fluids in places where there should not be body fluids etc. Molds will glow like they're radio active under this light

I just decided to email the dispensary and let them know. Curious to see if they make it right or ignore it. At least I only have one oz out of 8 that taste like that. Different strains.

I bought some in california that was really good, depends on reliability of vendor. If they take the weed back and replace, then they are Ok...Too big a brush to paint everyone with imho. Your own homegrown with love will always be best, like my dog is the best dog.60.jpg

Haha I saw you're post earlier on and now see this

Oregon court pauses marijuana testing requirement for aspergillus mold

The Oregon Court of Appeals is temporarily halting a new marijuana lab-testing requirement for aspergillus, a type of mold.

Outdoor weed getting mold, and these "cultivators" still want to sell it.

F.


No fucking surprise.

Perhaps I'm ignorant to all the facts about aspergillus

""According to the lawsuit, “It is puzzling why OHA decided to enact a zero-tolerance rule for aspergillus for cannabis when the overwhelming majority of the population breathes in aspergillus spores from the general environment every day"

"They fail an entire test batch for any given fraction of a piece of dead DNA from the types of aspergillus they’re testing for,” Getlin said. “And these are pathogens that are in the air all around us – literally.”

Need more transparency and knowledge.

""Right now, one could be landing on this bud. The entire rest of the house could be completely clean,” he said. “But if this one test, even if that spore is dead, one tiny fraction of this DNA, this entire crop becomes completely worthless."

welcome to legalization and regulation.

the black market has, will, and forever live on, while prohibition in any form exists.

when it comes to drugs of any type (yes, cannabis is as much a drug as aspirin is) there are two classes -- processed and natural. natural should be treated as such -- food grade.

processed as pharmaceuticals -- tested to the nth degree for purity and adulterants. distilling to this high level will put mushrooms, ayahuasca, cacti, opium and co, kratom, cannabis, et al in a natural field and MD analogs, ketamine, LS analogs, 2x analogs, etc in their own field.

Lab grade, pick-what-you want-do-what-you-want with no risk of death from fentanyl or death by legal system drugs available with support services available to get you out of the bottom of the bottle.

Portugal is the only nation that figured this shit out so far, the rest still have aristocrats with their heads so far up the asses the fat cats that own them to go any other way.

holy shit digression from thread topic. tl;dr: don't buy dispo weed if you can avoid it.

if i understood correctly, youre saying lab grade will be/is pure/more pure vs pharmaceuticals?

To put what they said into perspective. I've ran over 150 plates in front of my laminar flow hood, direct spore inoculations (which are presumed contaminated given I've running from multispore) and only had one contaminate with trichoderma. Does that mean the other 149 are bad and need to be tossed out?

The argument is fair. However one spore does not make an infection and I don't agree with the "dead DNA" argument. For years there has been a serious problem with pay-to-play in Oregon regarding testing. In fact, there were several labs shut down for hiding pesticide and mold results and boosting cannabinoid numbers. Eg, gimme another $500 and I'll boost your THC by .5.

The argument is ad hominem.
