OrganiGram announced they are the first medical marijuana production facility in Canada to receive internationally recognized organic certification from ECOCERT.

I guess Whistler is certified as well but through a local facility. I think I saw a couple others trying to get certified or saying they want to be organic as well, will be interesting to see how it plays out

Tommy: Let's think about this for a sec, Ted. Why would somebody put an organic label on a box? Hmmm, very interesting.

Ted Nelson, Customer: Go on, I'm listening.

Tommy: Here's the way I see it, Ted. Guy puts a fancy organic label on a box 'cause he wants you to feel all warm and toasty inside.

Ted Nelson, Customer: Yeah, makes a man feel good.

Tommy: 'Course it does. Why shouldn't it? Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the organic Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted?

[chuckles until he sees that Ted is not laughing]

Ted Nelson, Customer: [impatiently] What's your point?

Tommy: The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy sprayer? "Not spraying pesticides" says the little fairy; well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. The next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser, you feel sicker, and your daughter's knocked up. I seen it a hundred times.

Ted Nelson, Customer: But why do they put a organic label on the box?

Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a organic piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it organic, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your health's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.

How open and transparent is Organigram with its cultivation and production methods? What are they charging per gram? Any sun shine or actual soil involved with their organic production?

the word "organic .... green..... eco" have no meaning in Canada. All those words are for marketing to make people think it's natural. There are no rules governing these words, they don't have to back up shit.

marketing is all it is till the change laws governing those words in advertisement.

Homegrown marijuana=as organic as I want it. Piss off Organigram!
You want organic? I stuck a few seeds in the ground while walking the trails this spring, just for shits and giggles, and forgot about them. Took the dog for a walk the other day and went looking and found 1 survivor. The poor thing is only about 18 inches tall, skinny as fuck, but it's budding! I saw a pile of bear shit not 15 feet away...can't get much more 'organic' than that!

Hey Jackal...any word on the quality coming out of Whistler? I remember someone on the forums while back talking about the how talented the growers in that area were.

Chris...I remember planting MJ along the banks of the south Saskatchewan river one summer..by the first frost, we were standing in front of the plant and couldn't see it....another one had have chicken wire put around it because the critters kept snacking on it. Spread the love!

not too shabby, although they are down to one kind to order atm. and of course that recall of the white widow, never seen anything on mine but hey......

otherwise they are one of the better ones atm, this could change with any crop failure or another recall.

I do need a vape though, cough cough......... fucking VAC making me wait for a decision on me vapes (upto 12 weeks) like my throat wont be hatched by that time o_O

Well, that's just not true for 'organic' (you're correct about 'green' and 'eco'). There are absolutely certification standards in place in Canada that regulate that. That's what a company like "EcoCert" does. No rules governing? derp derp derp! it's like you go out of your way to have no clue what you're saying. a simple google search and the reading of the rules would tell you how wrong you are.

Thats what they will have to do, yes. Pretty stupid if you ask me, but these companies seem to think it's worth it.

I love how this forum has it's own version of facts. Keep up the derp, guys.
