Reality Check: Marijuana is not “Organic”
The “O” word is all over the place: Google “Organic CBD or marijuana” for a list of companies making (false) claims that, one day, will fall under Federal scrutiny.
“Organic” is not a marketing tool or a promotional claim. It’s a Federal classification, governed by the USDA, enabling qualifying products to display the certified USDA seal. The Fed’s laws are very clear, and all products that carry the seal are monitored, and have strict production requirements. These products must be:
-
Produced without excluded methods, such as genetic engineering, ionizing radiation, or (ew!) sewage sludge.
-
Produced only with allowed substances.
-
Overseen by a USDA National Organic Program-authorized certifying agent, following all USDA regulations.
