@merschrod This is wonderful, Erika! Love the attention to different types of accessibility. The blue feels calming and there's so much useful information. Makes me want to take the class!
@Itsamanthing56@theprovince@TheGrowthOp They can be, for sure. Technically the title could say "unsafe" rather than "unlicensed". Making testing more accessible like we recommend in the article would help consumers test licensed, unlicensed and homegrown for terps, contaminants, etc
As this industry takes shape, it is worth evaluating whether legalization has accomplished its intended goals, particularly as it pertains to complex products

@TheGrowthOp Oh wow, thanks for sharing! Not sure if you noticed, but we cited your article on the term "legacy market" - it's so important to acknowledge the pioneering work done before legalization.

@FeralMiller Great point, thanks! I'm one of the coauthors. Selection of the images and title were not up to us, they were added after submission. (I would have said "unsafe" in the title, rather than "unlicensed," given some nuances explained in the article.)
My brilliant friend @SandyBrennanNL co-authored this recently published article, including some smart, practical recommendations: https://t.co/c3JDD35EDr
Our new article for @ConversationCA on unintended consequences of #cannabis policy in Canada, with a focus on conflicting messages around health and CBD.
(I'd say "unsafe" rather than "unlicensed", technically, but the article explains the nuance)
