Part of the problem is packaging from these brands are ripped off, produced in mass and sold on ebay. Anyone can buy these boxes and put their own carts in them and pass them off as legitimate. Many brands now have QR codes on the box you can scan for authenticity and laboratory test results. Im sure people will find a way to spoof those too.

They are already being spoofed.

It's crazy moving between legal and illegal states, the amount of knowledge and safety involved change dramatically. Those in illegal states have no idea about proper packaging, that they should be able to check test results online, etc. So just some QR code linking to a page full of non-sense fools them.

Right. Im in a legal state and grow myself. I do take some issue with the gate keeping for commercial grow licences but its important these products are properly produced, especially on the extraction side more so then the growing side. Once its legal everywhere this wont be much of an issue because products will be regulated and bootleg products will be pushed to the fringe. You wouldn't buy Tylenol in a back alley to save a buck or two when its available at CVS in a sealed package, same will eventually be true of cannabis concentrates.

exactly. it needs to be moved to the front sides of buildings, not the back alleys.

my brother who is pretty anti-cannabis visited recently so i took him to a dispensary, his mind was changed once he saw how it was all being ran and that rules were enforced, etc.
