Its awfully suspicious as all your posts are in defense of PPS....

Anyone pro-GMP is likely to sound pro-PPS; there is currently no alternative.
As to GardenOrganics wish "to know what pesticide they use", that can be seen here, http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/marihuana/about-apropos/dried-information-sechee-eng.php or by pdf file here, http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/alt_...bout-apropos/dried-information-sechee-eng.pdf for the MMAR material.
For the MMPR material, the regs start covering this in Section 54, .http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/marihuana/info/techni-eng.php. The catch is that, AFAIK, there are no pest control products that have been registered under the Pest Control Products Act for use on MM. So, unless a company is willing to go through the registration process, no one producing MMPR material is allowed to use pesticides.

I concur. It is not mandated by HC. All they seem to require the LP to do is use an established microbial testing method and acceptance criteria based on a pharmacopeia they are comfy with. All you need to do is meet that specification. The advantage of irradiation is that it pretty much guarantees you will meet that specification, regardless of which pharmacopeia is chosen. Also, given that they have been doing it for the MMAR material, there might be institutional momentum, especially if they have stability data dependent on the irradiation. It might well be figurative and literal overkill, but it is the cautious approach generally chosen by GMP operations.

Grinding and irradiating marihuana sounds like a corporate decision, good luck to them. Lol.

Why do you think they mill and irradiate?

I second that

My understanding is that they cannot control their mould, so they irradiate, and they want a consistent product so they mill. Their way of thinking was tainted by the obstructionist we know of called Health Canada. We also heard they were lowering the THC and CBD percentages by grinding in stem and leaf under orders from HC. Who knows? You would think that they would change their ways if they did not believe in what they did. Seems like taking the flavour, taste, otherwise known as the joy out of it makes for better medicine, not! Time will tell, I know no one who uses brown marihuana. Have you seen it?

I appreciate your reply.
"you would think that they would change their ways...", exactly, but they haven't....why?
I've read many posts regarding their product, but have never seen it.
I am very curious about something. Has anyone tried stuffing an oz of bud into a pill bottle?
How much flavour, taste is lost when you mill and store? I can imagine there is a considerable loss in smell.

As mentioned above in #24, none for the MMAR stuff and this URL makes it look like still no pesticides get added to the CanniMed material: http://cannimed.ca/pages/cannimed-production-process.
