pseudostelariae

i've been thinking about this a lot lately. it seems in medical states, the production of cannabis is almost entirely unregulated and it is up to the individual shops to decide whether or not something is of medical quality. most of the stuff being distributed hasn't been lab tested or even checked thoroughly with a microscope.
recently i got some clones from a dispensary that were infested with spider mites. that alone let's me know that their operation isn't clean enough to be called medical but that is just my opinion. i mean, you don't open a bottle of pharmaceutical grade pills and pick out the dead bugs and feces. i feel it should be the same way with medical cannabis.
the shop seemed to feel that mites are simply a part of your grow but this seems like a lazy, cut-corner point of view. i make it a point to use sterilized media amended with clean, cultured beneficial microorganisms and castings/compost that come with a lab report, while running HEPA filtered intakes and keeping the grow space nice and clean. squeaky clean until introducing those clones..
anyway, what's your opinion on the subject?
