First Printing: The Steem Blockchain

This is the second part of my Cannabis Legalization Failure series of articles. It teaches the general public which of the Canadian licenced producers of cannabis ALWAYS irradiate their dried flower products, that are legally available to be purchased for recreational use across the country, at provincial and private cannabis stores.

I compiled this list after having contacted dozens of the licenced producers by phone or e-mail, to specifically ask them if they do not irradiate their dried flower products. To my knowledge (as based on the answers by phone or e-mail that those companies themselves did provide to me), this list is accurate as of March 31st, 2019. If any of the licenced producers have stopped ALWAYS irradiating their dried flower products, then they are welcome to post a reply stating that in the comment section of this article.

Please stay tuned to my blog on the Steem blockchain for the third and fourth parts of this series of articles, as they respectively list which licenced producers SOMETIMES irradiate their dried flower products, and which of them NEVER irradiate their dried flower products.
