This is a good thing that will fast track the industry to maturity.

I'm not sure but it sounds awfully close to what the gun industry does by giving away trigger locks with new guns.

And as much as I don't know from pot, I actually don't know from guns less.  Never touched one, ever.  Not a political stance, just a massive fear.  Never gonna happen with me.  Argue the rights all you want- I can see both sides.  But none in my house.

try reading the article once in a while, maybe?

"Inslee signed another bill Thursday to try to keep pot products out of the hands of children and away from pets. The bill allows marijuana stores give their customers free lockable storage boxes. Some local health departments had wanted to donate lock boxes for pot shops to give away to customers as a safety measure. But because of strict laws on what pot shops can sell or give away, the boxes needed special authorization."

It breaks down like this on the gun side of things, manufacturers and retailers to reduce their liability in civil cases over shooting deaths caused by children finding a gun in their house give away locks that completely disable a gun.  They then recommend a gun be stored with the locks in place.  It seems the marijuana industry is trying to encourage the same behavior.

/Gun Locks are a good idea I store all of my guns locked even though I have no children, it's the 14 minute rule burglars rarely spend more than 14 mins in a house with an alarm, anything that would take 30+ mins to steal is safe
//If you have kids I guess you'd want to lock up your weed if you are the type who locks up the liquor cabinet, I guess with edibles small children might take a cookie not knowing what it is so may be lock boxes are needed, again no children and no legal pot where I live so not something I would have around

because a lot of edible look just like candy or cookies (because that is what they are). It is better to lock them up and not have children (or my dad) mistake them for regular candy or cookies with dangerous (children) or hilarious (my dad) results.

Not if Orrin Hatch and the Beehive State's supplement combine have their way.

"...It's tough to say what portion of those products pose a risk to consumers. A 2013 report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that from 2008 through 2011, the FDA received 6,307 reports of health problems from dietary supplements, including 92 deaths, hundreds of life-threatening conditions, and more than 1,000 serious injuries or illnesses. The GAO suggests that due to underreporting, the real number of incidents may be far greater..."

"Not only are the advertised ingredients of some supplements potentially dangerous," says Pieter Cohen, M.D., an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School who has studied supplements extensively and written many papers on the issue, "but because of the way they're regulated, you often have no idea what you're actually ingesting."

I'll have the additional, chitinous, filler with something Non-toxic, thanks (CDC continues to report zero deaths from Cannabis).

Minor point of order: growing your own (except for medicinal use) is still banned by WA state law.

Really that is monumentally stupid. What's the harm in letting a person grow a few plants.

The cynic in me would suggest it might favor already established and 'approved' growers. Forcing everyone to buy from those that are connected.

But nothing like that could happen in free market America, so I'm probably high.

tirob: FTFA:  "The Liquor and Cannabis Board already tightly regulates and inspects marijuana growers in the state."

In a pig's hole they do.

http://www.thestranger.com/slog/2016/03/17/23720675/more-products-on-shelves-at-recreational-marijuana-stores-have-tested-positive-for-sketchy-pesticides

"Since this legal weed bonanza began, I've written a lot of articles calling attention to the issue of pesticides on our pot, and I've been told by a lot of different people-the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) especially-that I'm beating a dead horse."

Caveat emptor, users.


you always post links to recalls and the industry acting responsibly when tainted products are shown. this is exactly what is done for produce and all other consumables. so whats the beef ?

What would you have them do ? if they were covering it up or knowingly selling tainted product you have a point. But the only ones who possibly knew something was up was the grower. So perhaps tighter controls there / prosecution etc  but the retail side isn't to blame

thats like blaming stop & shop because they had tainted frozen food on the shelves from ellios or some shiat

Last time I was in Seattle I made the mistake of referring to edibles as "gummies," since for quite some time that was what was coming out if Colorado.

The nice lady behind the counter flipped her shiat and gave me a lecture on how those target children.

So a lock-in is to keep marijuana away from children, which makes them much more respectable than the alcohol industry.

Not that I would know, but i hear "from friends" that mixing a THC infused pomegranate juice (10 servings) with Snapple's Kiwi-strawberry is a very chill way to spend the evening with the Mrs. and likely will get her quite horny on a Friday night.

Or so I've heard . . .

It's more like Interbev selling tainted lager. You can still go microbrew and avoid the whole problem.

Your argument is a fantastic one for better policing of Big Bud, not against selling at retail.

The problem is that pot is legal and there's nothing he can do about it.
Sucks to be him, I guess.

True.

I, personally, am reasonably concerned about pesticides on ALL things I consume. I don't, however have the luxuary of legalized cannabis, and for most in my country it's import hashish they have to buy, and that comes with ZERO control over pesticides, and is quite openly funding more than local gangs.

He'll try to argue that I have the option of not buying, and attempt the logical fallacy that; if I weren't addicted, I'd have no NEED to buy. [SMH]

The wheels are starting to turn here, though. The first few patients to be given prescription rights to cannabis have set legal pecident. Our national Apotek database of prescription medications now includes cannabis in plant form. It's just a first step, but hopefully gets the legal status re-discussed at parliamentary level within my lifetime! :-)

*sigh* I'd never have bet on the USA being the one to break the world wide war on drugs first. It never entered my top 5. I'd be down my 1000Kr right now.

Should have bet on Brexit and Trump, too.

What about all the people who grow without pesticides? Should they be forced to stop?

It's a terrible argument for suspending selling all pizza at all places. Surely it should just be the tainted ones?
