Colorado Cannabis Producer Contests State’s Recall Of His Company’s Marijuana Products Read More At

[LittleDabbie]

Ryan Fox, the founder and CEO of Kindman cannabis, says his company is disputing the results of a test by Colorado’s Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) that alleges some Kindman plants contained very small amounts of a prohibited pesticide.

According to the Denver Post, the MED issued a recall announcement on Thursday, saying cannabis samples from Kindman’s grow operation contained trace amounts of the garden insecticide imidacloprid; which was banned for use in legal marijuana production by Colorado officials last year.

In a statement Fox said the MED had placed all of Kindman’s cannabis products on administrative hold after those samples reportedly showed five to 20 parts per billion of imidacloprid.

For his part, Fox restated that his company “absolutely has not used this pesticide in production.”

“We are contesting these findings and are attempting to have the hold released,” he added. “We believe the test process is faulty and that the Colorado Department of Agriculture has potentially cross-contaminated our samples during testing.”

Fox also noted that legal cannabis dispensaries across Colorado stock his Kindman strains, and he addressed those concerned retailers in his statement.

“We understand how badly this effects your operation and we will do everything possible to minimize the time of the hold,” he added. “Kindman is re-testing samples and will keep you informed of all details.”

Isn't that the stuff that was in Gaurdian?

Bayer Tree and Shrub as well.
Some sources blame bee colony collapse on the upswing usage of imidacloprid.

I would like to know what they mean by "Production" because this stuff would still be in clones taken from mother plants that are "not in production." If they treated mother plants, they're going to find out that mfg listings on how long this stuff is in plants is waaaay off for indoor gardens.

They'll lose this contest.

from reading the blogs in thc farmer, I'm surprised that more dope doesn't get the boot. The stricter testing in Oregon is going to come as a shock to a lot of these yahoos. They still treat it as a game to see how far they can put crap on their plants and get away with it. We work with organic farmers, microbiologists, botanists and old time growers who respect the ganja to test and analyze what we put on them. The new labs are going to be for a lot more stuff and with much better machines. We had a lab in OR that every batch of certain flavors came back exactly the same each time. (statistically impossible ) Maybe the industry needed a little guidance in this aspect from the states, but from talking to some of the new inspectors it will be a while until they are trained well enough to know what to look for. It takes a lot of time , energy, money to make the herb ready for market, the last thing you want is testing bad because one of your " master grower's"( how can they be this, when they've hardly hit puberty) put some crap that he read about on your plant's while you were gone. Sorry about the rant but these clowns cause the rules to be made in the first place.​
