High levels of Endotoxin on commercial cannabis flowers
Never mop up a mess if you can build quality into the process
I’ll be expanding a bit on this topic when I return from New Zealand but thought this audience may understand where this could go.
The moral of the story is to embrace Deming in manufacturing. Never mop up a mess if you can build quality into your process. Unfortunately, the cannabis industry has no banking and this reflects in many growers growing dirty and zapping crap (x-ray, g-ray, e-beam, ozone) at the end of the grow to cheat the microbial tests. Great to knock down viable microbes but not if you had a swamp that leaves behind endotoxins post remediation which go undetected.
So we started looking at endotoxins in Cannabis and its a mess.
What are some of the possible bad health outcomes from the contamination? And is there any way for individuals to test?
