Aurora Cannabis Recall (Organigram)

Just wanted to post about the latest LP Recall. I was called today and notified by Aurora customer care about a recall of a product they sold called Quincy (God Bud). This product was bought by Aurora Cannabis from a LP down east named Organigram. Organigram has showcased themselves as a all organic outfit. I do not have all the info yet but was told that a pesticide and fungicide not listed on Health Canada list of banned products was found in the batches of Aurora's Quincy (God Bud). I have yet to find out what the pesticide is but was told that Myclobutanil was found which is a fungicide used most commonly in Eagle 20. They have offered a refund for the product but what is considerably worse is the effects of myclobutanil. The fungicide has a low toxicity taken orally but a considerable side effect when combusted. Myclobutanil when burned has a byproduct called Hydrocyanide which is a chemical weapon and was used in Zyclon B and other Chemical weapons and is known as a Blood agent. So what we have is Organigram testing there product and not finding a know cannabis fungicide and pesticide then selling the product to Aurora and they also did not find the contamination of pesticide and fugicide and then Health Canada does not even list the Fungicide and pesticide for the LP's to test. If anyone else has purchased and smoked Quincy or God bud from Aurora you best check into things further. This is serious that 2 LP's
missed toxic chemicals in there product and Health Canada is suppose to be the oversight and they don't even these products listed for testing. Once again this shows the complete farce the the MMPR program is and the lack of any real care for the patients.

Health Canada only tests for the pesticides that are registered on cannabis and not all pesticides, this is where the problem lies, if they wanted they can have a full pesticide screen done in 5 days. They really should have done a full screen from the start to see whats happening and keep people honest, what if everyone is testing with the full panel? I would like to see if there are any other recalls due to a full screen.

The problem is, Health Canada doesn't test anything - in fact there is no third party testing required for any cannabis prior to being sold under the ACMPR.

LP's test their own weed- the wolf is guarding the chickens by way of regulation.

So, who found it in the end ?
I mean who else would test for something that is not on a ban list if he's not obliged to test like aurora and organigram ?
Good someone did test for it, don't get me wrong...

Just wanted to add that Aurora is shifting blame to Organigram and saying that they were the ones that found it but Organigram is saying it is a voluntary recall so not sure who really found it and i also found out that the pesticide they discovered was Bifenazate which is found in Floromite. It looks like a refund is all that is going to be offered at the moment. There comeback was there staff have all used the product and nobody has had any serious health problems. Pretty reassuring from a Heath Canada licensed Medicine provider.

I wonder if there would be any way to find out how many potential LP's lost their golden ticket due to these sorts of issues.

I know of one locally that got caught using something in their test grow.....End of that dream for them....

There should be random testing done. By random I mean not contacting the plant manager
and saying we'll be there in the morning. I worked at a bread factory a while back and we
were always told to clean up the place, etc. a few days before the health inspections.

To me that's wrong and misleading to the public.

What is even worse is I met with a QA guy a few years ago who told me they can make anything pass even if it has mold or other problems, they have ways to go around the testing to get the results they want, then they just file the test results with the all clear, if they end up getting in trouble they just tell HC look we tested and it came out fine.
Hopefully what I said just made sense I am half asleep :dance013:

Health Canada nur Tests für die Pestizide, die auf Cannabis registriert sind und nicht alle Pestizide, ist dies, wo das Problem liegt, wenn sie wollten, dass sie eine vollständige Pestizid-Screen in 5 Tagen getan haben wollte. Sie sollten wirklich einen Vollbildschirm von Anfang an getestet haben, um zu sehen, was passiert ist und halten die Menschen ehrlich, was ist, wenn alle mit der Vollversion testen? Ich möchte sehen, wenn es irgendwelche anderen Rückrufe aufgrund eines Vollbildes. http://hanfsamenkaufenlegal.com/weed-seeds

Yes, the LPs are basically their own check and balance. I know several growers for the LPs, and they are constantly having issues with mildew and they only seem to have milstop as a tool other than climate but it makes it tough on them, at least one of them would not stoop to spraying nova, he actually has a conscious but in the end who knows what happens when the cats away? I am not saying they would go behind his back but in general if you know you won't get caught because you're the keeper and you have millions of dollars on the line, how many people would be tempted to take the easy way out rather than sink money into 3rd party r and d to find mildew resistant lines, botrytis resistant lines so that spraying is not the issue, it's a time issue to find these things?

Talk of a class action.

I love to sit and watch the fire burn. First this way, then that, flames tickling up here, now there, red hands to warm the heart.

Jesus, it's been too long since I've lit something on fire.

The one I got from aurora was for Mongolian (Kaine) and it was sourced from organigram.

I am not sure if I will give any to any current LP's, but I am working on PM resistant lines now. Problem is I am not making millions, LP's want major dollars to do anything. I just love herb and hate PM, motivations are very different. LP just wants your money with no real work.
