supposed to do with the batch of contaminated cannabis after it is returned.)
Oregon medical cannabis patients are likely aware that current state regulations require dispensaries to test their medicine for pesticide residues. Testing requirements can help protect patients from pesticide contaminants and discourages growers from using pesticides. However, Oregon’s cannabis pesticide residue testing is perhaps less useful and more complicated than patients might think. Here’s why. According to Oregon’s Administrative Rules for Medical Marijuana, every batch of cannabis received at a dispensary is supposed to be tested for pesticide residues in four categories of pesticides— chlorinated hydrocarbons, organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids. If test results come back above 0.1 parts per million (ppm) in the any of these four categories of pesticides, the dispensary must return the entire batch to the grower. (The regulation doesn’t specify what the grower is
What medical cannabis patients might not realize is that Oregon’s rules don’t require screens for pesticides in other categories such as fungicides, biopesticides, neonicotinoids, and insect growth regulators. Examples of the types of pesticides not covered under required cannabis pesticide screens include toxic synthetic chemicals that some growers might be tempted to use to knock down mite infestations such as Avid (abamectin), Hexygon (hexythiazox), Forbid (spiromesifen), and Floramite (Bifenazate). (By the way, these four pesticides are prohibited in organic farming.) Cannabis patients might find it strange that Avid, a neurotoxin that is used by some cannabis growers to control spider mites and is registered for use on ornamental plants and Christmas trees but not food crops, is not part of the State’s required pesticide residue testing. The point is, that just because a cannabis sample passes a state compliant pesticide residue test doesn’t necessarily mean it is pesticide free.
Of course nothing in the state regulations prohibit dispensaries from conducting more comprehensive screens for chemicals like those found in Avid, yet the regulation doesn’t require it either. The regulation also doesn’t specify which chlorinated hydrocarbons, organophosphates, carbamates, or pyrethroids pesticides should be tested for.
Oregon. Smith said he first offered dispensaries a comprehensive pesticide residue screen that included chemicals within the mandatory testing groups plus residue screens for other common pesticides used in cannabis production from other groups like insect growth regulators, neonicotinoids, and biopesticides. But dispensaries didn’t want it.
But a solution to this problem is not as simple as increasing the number of pesticide categories that are being tested. For example, if you expand the testing dragnet to include fungicides and biopesticides, without specifying exactly which pesticide residues to test for, you could get positive test results for less toxic pesticides that are approved for use in organic farming systems.
“I first came to the market with the long list. Honestly, I didn't realize I was in competition with labs who were offering ‘state compliant’ testing for less than half the price of my panel and giving no specific information about what they were testing for. So I came out with the short list—which is still technically considered to be ‘state compliant’ as it touches a number of compounds from each of the OAR listed classes. Dispensaries and patients typically only see the difference in price, assuming any ‘state compliant’ testing must be essentially the same.”
Another interesting point with Oregon’s mandatory pesticide residue testing is the limit of 0.1 ppm. The EPA residue tolerances for pesticides on food crops is often set well above 0.1 ppm, so limiting pesticide residue on cannabis to below 0.1 ppm could mean Oregon’s medical cannabis, even with loose testing guidelines, might still be cleaner than some food crops. Executive scientist for Kenevir Research, Dr. Anthony Smith, runs a cannabis testing lab in southern
But they aren’t the same. At some labs, state compliant residue testing for cannabis can cost as little as $100 per test, and may only test for 30 pesticides. Some of the pesticides tested for in the cheap screen are often uncommon or include chemicals that were banned in the US more than 40 years ago,

like DDT. More comprehensive pesticide tests are available but they are more expensive and dispensaries might not want to pay more for costly screens when the cheaper tests meet state requirements. Of course, some dispensaries do pay more for comprehensive screens. Chelsea Hopkins, director of The Greener Side in Eugene says she contracts with a cannabis lab that offers a comprehensive residue screen. Ms. Hopkins says her dispensary has developed systems for managing the cost of residue testing and sees it playing an essential role. “Cannabis is people’s medicine, so testing isn’t a burden for us. It is really important,” said Hopkins. But she also
Oregon Dispensary Connection thinks that there should be better oversight and guidance for cannabis labs. Hopkins said, “There is a lack of regulation for laboratories in Oregon since basically the lab chooses what they are going to test for, and they may or may not have appropriate instrumentation to detect and confirm if pesticide is present.” Of the 18 synthetic pesticides that The American Herbal Pharmacopoeia cites as commonly used in cannabis production, only four would be caught on a less expensive pesticide screen—three are synthetic pyrethroids, one is a carbamate. The remaining 14 pesticides are either neonicotiniods, ketol-enols, fungicides, plant growth regulators, or unclassified pesticides that fall within categories that are not required to be included in state compliant pesticide residue tests for cannabis. Policy makers interested in fixing Oregon’s cannabis pesticide residue testing requirements may benefit from
studying how the USDA National Organic Program approaches pesticide testing for organic fruits and vegetables. In that system, organic producers receive third-party inspections annually and can be subject to unannounced inspection any time during the year. The organic certification is process based, meaning that through inspection and careful review of a producer’s farming practices, certifiers verify that crops are grown according to accepted organic standards. A key piece to the inspection is ensuring only pest control materials approved for organic farming are used. To deter producers from using prohibited pesticides, the USDA also
and costs around $350 per test. Testing must occur at labs accredited to ISO 17025:2005 which is an international quality standards for lab competency and instrument calibration. Until pesticide residue testing requirements are strengthened, medical cannabis patients that don’t want pesticide residues on their medicine may want to work directly with a grower they trust or with dispensaries that do more than just state compliant testing. Pesticide residue testing is a complicated issue, but at least one thing is clear—growers, patients, dispensary owners and lawmakers will have some tough questions to answer and much to learn before the thorny issue of pesticides and cannabis can be adequately addressed.
requires certifying agencies to conduct random pesticide residue sampling on 5% of the operations they certify per year. Although only a small percentage of organic product is tested for pesticide
residues annually, the grower never knows when his product will be screened for residues and the residue screens are comprehensive. For example, the pesticide residue screen used by several well-known organic certifiers includes about 200 pesticides

There is a lot of talk going on about organic standards in the Cannabis world. As there should be! Â When it comes to wanting to find the cleanest and best quality cannabis in the dispensaries, we need proper labeling and transparency of growing practices so we can make educated decision about what kind of cannabis we want to consume. Â Due to the fact that the USDA will not certify organic cannabis, because of its schedule 1 status, other certifications have come to exist to acknowledge responsible growing practices. In the industry today, these organizations are very important. The only way to be assured truly clean medicine is to know how and with what it was grown. Unfortunately, in the weed world, growing practices tend to be kept behind closed doors. It is our opinion this information should be fully

disclosed to the consumer, so they make informed decisions. The more growers that share this information the better we all can become in creating healthy medicine. One style, in which our garden is grown, is based in soiling building techniques that aim to enrich ecology and minimize and ultimately illuminate the need for store-bought nutrients. In our opinion, the most significant component in growing healthy plants has everything to do with biologically rich, living soils. Nature is our truest guide to creating healthy plants. There are many myths and secrets in the cannabis world about how to grow the best plants with the highest yields. One very common and prevalent myth is that of tilling. Everyone at some point on their path as a grower has been told that to start you must turn and till the soil into productivity. This is not true, and in fact is a very backwards foundation to
To support the life force in the soil always keep a thick layer of mulch covering the soil as habitat for all the communities of life to thrive in.

There is always going to be debate on how to grow properly. And there are always going to be certain people who care more than others about the differences in growing practices. However, there should always be an expectation and standard that growers share their methods with the public as a way to offer them information to base their decisions on in choosing what kind of cannabis they want to purchase and put in their bodies.
The most reliable way to know you are getting the best medicine possible is to ask about how and who grew it. Certifications are a new and important step in the cannabis industry, because they are a sign that the grower is open to inspection, and they provide the information you need in order to be well informed in your choices!
Oregon Dispensary Connection 7. What is your analytical methodology for testing cannabis (HPLC [liquid chromatograph], GC [gas chromatograph], TLC, other)? What are the limitations of your selected method?
10 Questions To Ask Your Cannabis Scientist * Guest blog by Samantha Miller - The current cannabis laboratory environment is unregulated so consumers have to be savvy. Knowing what questions to ask a prospective cannabis lab is key. To help the process a group of laboratory service providers* from various states along with an international advisor compiled a list of 10 questions to ask a cannabis scientist. This can act as a quick reference guide for those looking for a qualified laboratory partner. 1. What training or expertise do you have to be able to perform cannabis analysis? 2. Which cannabinoids do you test for? Do you have reliable reference standards for all of them? 3. How is CBN related to THC, and why is it important to test for it?
8. What is the average THC/CBD content your lab has measured? 9. Did your lab ever test the same cannabis twice, with very different results? What was the explanation for that, and what has been changed to prevent it from happening again?
4. What kind of samples do you test (flowers, edibles, tincture)? Have you optimized your extraction and analysis protocol for each kind of sample? 5. What do you do with left-over samples? 6. Are you aware of acidic cannabinoids? In samples such as edibles, concentrates, and tincture they can be present at high levels. How do you deal with that?
10. Analytical methods need to be ‘validated’ before you can be sure they are fully reliable. Have you done this already, and how did you do this. Did it include a third party? If you didn’t do it yet, how can I be sure my results will be accurate? * Contributors: Arno Hazekamp (Netherlands), Samantha Miller (Pure Analytics), Paula Morris (Medea Labs), Noel Palmer (Montana Botanical Analytics), Jeff Raber (The Werc Shop) and Eric Taylor (California Botanicals).

10 Questions To Ask Your Cannabis Scientist About Pesticide Testing ** Oregon is the first State to require pesticides testing on cannabis. No other State or Nation in the World currently requires this level of consumer safety screening on this commodity. As such, there are no validated methods for testing pesticides on cannabis. The analytical process for testing pesticides is complicated; it’s even more complicated on a complex matrix like cannabis. What qualifies your cannabis scientist to perform this rigorous test? Ask these questions to gain insight on their abilities. 1. Do you have a clear understanding of the State compliance requirements for testing pesticides? Do you have any concerns about these requirements? 2. What instrument (e.g. GC/MS, GC/FID, LC/MS/MS) or instruments do you use to test for pesticides in cannabis? What are the limitations of that instrument? 3. What pesticide analytes do you screen for, and why did you choose those compounds?
4. How many pesticides have you found, and what are they? What were the levels of detection? 5. What is your Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) on each of the pesticides you screen for? 6. Do you have traceable reference standards for the compounds you’re screening for? 7. Are you able to screen for pesticides on concentrates? Have you ever found any pesticides on concentrates? 8. If you find pesticides, how do you validate the quantitation (ie. do you do a confirmatory run)? 9. How do you handle pesticides that are present under the State limit? 10. Have you validated and verified your methods? * * Contributors: Bethany Sherman and Rodger Voelker, PhD, OG Analytical © 2014.

Maureen Dowd’s experience with a marijuana-infused edible in Colorado will certainly live in infamy and the Marijuana Policy Project is using her tale for good, by helping educate people about the use of cannabis products. The cannabis community is certainly tired of seeing stoner stereotypes portrayed in the media as cannabis consumers tend to be a diverse community just like the rest of the population. It is both great and truthful that Leafly used ordinary people in a recent ad in the New York Times and that MPP uses a women who could certainly pass for Maureen Dowd, one of the top columnists in the nation, in a billboard urging people to “start low and go slow.” For her part, Ms. Dowd, a supporter of legalization, is taking the billboard in stride, telling
If her likeness on the billboard makes waves, why stop there? “They could just run Bill Maher’s funny and great instructions to me on his show at dispensaries in a continuous loop,” she writes. Reassured by Colorado and Washington’ s “fine-tuning” of marijuana laws, Dowd is ready to take her image elsewhere.

Education programs, funded either by the government or various groups, will certainly be needed to help educate the public and alleviate the concerns of voters. Over time, more and more people will understand that marijuana, even more so than alcohol, can be used responsibly. As the experiences of Colorado and Washington demonstrate that regulated cannabis commerce is a much better policy than prohibition, better prioritizing police resources and generating revenue, legalization will spread from state to state and the

Oregon Dispensary Connection hours after effects start, again depending on the dosing. With dosing you should choose 50 MG if you are new to cannabis, 100 MG if use occasionally, 150 MG if you use often, and 200 + MG if you are in severe medicinal need. Always try small amounts first and wait 4 hours to do anymore.

The most common question we get at Coma Treats is “how safe are medibles”. It’s a great question, especially considering in Oregon edible forms of cannabis are not considered food and are not subject to food laws as other foods are. The Director of Pharmacy Programs for the Oregon Health Authority, Tom Burns, informed me that dispensaries are more like private clubs and at the time we spoke the decision had been made to not put them under normal kitchen rules. We do know this is likely change, at least for recreational marijuana, but as one Agriculture department worker said, legally they aren’t food but a “medicinal delivery device”. So are they safe? I believe medibles are the safest way to medicate especially for people with serious health conditions but you need to know a couple of things to see what works best for you. Let’s split this into two equally important categories.
You need to know how the medible is made to gauge if it’s safe for you. There are several ways but the most common is to do what one candy medible company here in Oregon does. They purchase bulk candy from out of the country usually and either inject it with BHO or sprinkle hash on it. Those types of medible makers usually don’t decarboxylize or add anything helpful to digestion so you usually get a stomach ache alongside a quick high that subsides in 2 hours. You are really just eating marijuana whole. Decarboxylizing or activating the cannabis, is just simply converting the molecules from their acidic forms of THCA (into THC) or CBDA (into CBD). The acids forms are in marijuana naturally until you add time, or heat, like when you smoke. The other common way to make medibles is to use oil, butter, other fats or some type of tincture to make foods. These companies. of which Coma Treats is one. usually do take the time to decarboxylize the cannabis. The
It should go without saying but assume you have a child in your house where you store medibles. Children should not have access to medibles at any time.
THC and other cannabinoids release much slower as they are trapped in fats and the body processes them more slowly. You can start feeling effects later than smoking, but usually around 30 minutes depending on your metabolism. Plus, you don’t get a stomach ache or get too high too quickly, and then loose the effect in 2 hours. A well-cooked medible should last about 4
2. Are they food safe? Will it make me sick? Most medibles I see do not have much a chance of spoiling quickly. We ask all dispensaries to refrigerate our product to keep it longer, up to 3 months. Even though we don’t have but one product that can go rancid we think it’s safest. You can usually look at the ingredients and see if a medible has the possibility of going bad, if it’s not refrigerated don’t take a chance. If you aren’t going to eat it right away you should avoid spongy cakes, cupcakes or heavy dairy products such as milks, creams or cheeses. As I explained above there are no health department inspections on medible kitchens yet, so it’s on you to check. Look into where your medibles are made and who makes them. We are not the only medible maker that has food experience so check out the company’s website. We hope there are more companies in the future with professionally trained chefs showing off their kitchens on social media sites, and promoting safe use of medibles, but until then, talk to your dispensary and ask them what each one does. We give out free samples for bud-tenders to help them educate the customer on effects, strength and of course taste. One side note I will share with you is to be very wary of people claiming to have gluten free or other allergy free medibles. The food safety laws around these are very strict and you have no way to know if they really cook in a kitchen that has never had peanuts or wheat in them. In fact most medible makers have to rent a kitchen. If you have food allergies I would say you should avoid eating cannabis. Come Treats is a contributor to the OCC.
