Dispensaries please stop using the word "Proprietary" about your "organic" process - Cannabiz Legal Issues - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Dispensary after dispensary that say they are organic like to throw out the word "proprietary" once I begin to ask questions. The bud tenders don't know how things are done in the warehouse, and once you get to speak with a grower, or owner they start to mumble and then throw out the word "proprietary."

If you own a dispensary, and you want to advertise to the public that you are "organic" please have the decency to document for your customers what your process is.

Believe it or not what you are doing is not a big secret. Growing a plant is not rocket science.

In standard agriculture you can get fined upwards of 15k for the use of the word "organic" when you are not certified organic. Keep using the word, and see what happens to your farm.

Organic certifications come with strict documentation of your growing practices. You must detail everything used to grow with along with the amounts applied, and the times applied.

I know people still have the "black market" mentality, but you are now in a regulated, "legal" market. It's time to start acting like it.

I had to rant.

Is this in Colorado where clubs grow a lot of their own product? The only club I know that grows their own is more than happy to talk shop all day about what they are doing and learning.

real organic certification is a pain in the ass....... and I bet more than half the so called organic is bullshit and some chems are used..........

"Organic" is just used as a buzzword to lure people in and raise prices.

Fantastic thread ESO! Very, very well said!

Through there mumbles I'm sure they they say...
Whata ya mean BOTANICARE PBP isn't organic?...lol

Seriously tho, this isn't a joking matter. Forget about the "proprietary" tec's they learned from US online and step up to the plate w real accurate information. People will b putting these plants/extracts/foods into there bodies. Refusal to share the procedures or products used reeks of potentially dangerous practices!

Forget about protecting the bottom dollar and consider the people.
