I don't know about hysteria. A potentially fatal illness that results in less than 50 year olds with no prior lung disease getting admitted to hospital with respiratory failure, approx 1/2 requiring a vent? As the self appointed Surgeon General of .net, I would recommend heeding the advice of no less an authority than Big Steve Parish and avoid smoking anything but "weed that was grown outside" until they figure out what contaminant is causing this.

Cannabis that was grown in controlled environments (indoors) often contains less mold/fungus and uses less pesticides (if any) than outdoor cannabis.

you might be right about molds, but i disagree with your overall sentiment especially when you consider that most big indoor grows these days are hydro. that adds a new list of possible contaminants.

No, hydro doesn’t really add any sort of extra possible contaminants. Organic material is arguably more likely to be contaminated compared to pharmaceutical grade nutrients that have been refined.

hydro is not organic no matter what even if you change the definitions IMO. its known as fake organic for a reason. and its hard to discount the possibility of plastic contaminents in the process.

now the concentrates in question IMO are pure af. the absence of plant matter and solvents etc... seems to be a good thing IMO.

no agenda here. and happy to have access to herbs.
