The extracts now being sold in California are safer than the glyphosate covered vegetables at the local market. Regulations require inspection for pesticides and microbials. I agree that there is plenty of corporate greed entering this space and transforming it purely for profit. However, it's the old school growers that have taken cannabis to the next level, not VCs. The cannabis I smoke today is way safer than the stuff we used to get 30 years ago that had mold, mildew and the occasional diesel fuel fumes from being trucked across the border in a fuel tank.
