Nevada Issues Health Advisory for Tainted Marijuana
Officials in Nevada have published a fresh warning about tainted marijuana products. The state's Department of Taxation, which acts as the local cannabis industry regulator, advised consumers that several batches of cannabis flower that had made it to dispensary shelves recently failed microbial testing conducted by a third-party laboratory. The cannabis in question was sold both in flower form and rolled into joints.
The department said as many as 30 dispensaries across the state might have had tainted cannabis from a number of sources for sale from Oct. 25 through Jan. 16. The cannabis failed a variety of tests, including those for yeast and mold, coliforms, and aspergillus. No illnesses connected to the contaminated marijuana have been reported, but the department emphasized that people with suppressed immune systems should not partake of it.
