I did not try anything from this grower thankfully. I would hope that the CCB maintains an updated list of pesticides and other control agents that are not allowed in cannabis. If they don't, yikes. It's good that they caught this.

These shady fuckers didn't even have a license. Hopefully, some names behind the Holland Cannabis brand are outed so they aren't able to work in the industry any longer.

Is the "Holland" part referring to Holland, VT? The only thing that stands out about that place for me was a barn with a huge "Take Back Vermont" sign that I remember from almost 20 years ago. Gosh, been that long.

The article said the owner has a tier 2 license.

My mistake, I misread the VT Digg article. The herb somehow circumvented testing.

"He said the cannabis was not registered with the Cannabis Control Board, and the board is trying to determine how it made its way onto store shelves. The board has contacted the five stores, Pepper said, and they have all stopped selling the cannabis."
