If you are like most people in the US, you might be thinking, "What do you mean, there are bans on cannabis businesses, I thought cannabis was legalized ?", and you would be correct.  However,  local governments have the right to tax and regulate, or outright BAN cannabis businesses as they see fit.

How do cannabis consumers make buying decisions? What guided your purchase the last time you bought a cannabis product? Was it the packaging, the reputation of a brand, or did you ask the budtender? In most cases, especially for new patients and consumers, purchases are usually made based on the recommendation of the budtender. How about the last time you went grocery shopping? What guided your purchasing decisions? Was it your shopping list, what’s on sale, or perhaps were you just hungry? Grocery and retail stores have spent millions of dollars analyzing their customers' every move to determine their purchasing habits.

The cannabis industry has a SERIOUS problem with pesticides, and it's not just in unregulated states. Even in regulated states such as Oregon, the current testing requirements are only now shining a light on the residual pesticides leftover in cannabis products - and it is significant.  Currently over 25% of concentrates and extracts are failing testing requirements for pesticides in Oregon. The prevalence of these toxic chemicals should require that regulation be tighter on cannabis operators, as this is a matter of public safety.
