Higher percentage of California pot passing safety tests

By MICHAEL R. BLOOD, ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Dec 16, 2018, 10:59 AM ET

California marijuana producers are seeing a higher percentage of buds, oils and other products clear strict safety tests.

Testing started in July saw about a 20 percent failure rate after the first two months.

Now it's down to 14 percent. State and industry officials say that shows businesses are adjusting to the regulated market.

Cannabis-infused cookies, candies and tinctures continued having the most trouble in test labs: About 25 percent were rejected, though that also was an improved rate compared to the July-August period, when one-third failed.

The glut in the West has fueled the East coast for a good year or so. Sure, it isn't exactly legal, but....

The cost to grow in California is nothing. The expense of buying is $$$. My wife has not bought anything for 2 years and she is using what is grown at our property. I pray for the continued research to cure sicknesses which people suffer. Pot Brownies RULE.....
