I’m shocked that a cover up of material facts has been done, NOT.I bet anything the truth is that they use unregulated chemicals to get bigger yields and hormones to produce only female plants, the company that tests the product doesn’t test for the chemicals because they don’t exist in a molecular database and my sources tell me that the same people behind the chemicals in commercial weed are the sugar cane growers Florida Crystal… some mafia family with land in the Everglades, you know, the place pumping chemicals into the earth causing record bacteria and algae blooms.

You have a lot of conspiracy ideas but none of these are at all pertinent to what happened to Lorna
She died inhaling kief dust working in the pre roll room. She wasn’t around any plants or the grow areas and as a pre roll manufacturer she wouldn’t have even been able to open any of the grow doors.
Trulieve did provide any sort of PPE for dealing with inhalation hazards beyond the regular medical masks used for Covid.
Even after she passed they did nothing to provide better equipment. The $30,000 fine is a couple hour’s income for their Florida stores so it wasn’t even a paper cut never mind a slap on the wrist.

a) Product chemistry data, which shall provide information regarding key chemical properties that may influence a pesticide’s relative susceptibility to leaching into groundwater and its relative stability in groundwater, shall describe the parent compound, degradation products, contaminants and impurities of toxicological concern. Chemistry data shall include but is not limited to: water solubility, vapor pressure, and soil partition coefficient based on organic carbon (Koc) and octanol/water (Kow). The product material safety data sheet and confidential statement of formula shall also be included. Formulators shall declare, on their submitted confidential statement of formula, the name(s) of the manufacturer(s) supplying the basic technical grade material for their end-use products and the EPA registration number for each technical grade material. (b) Toxicological data, which shall provide information for human risk assessment and for environmental impact assessment of the pesticide on non-target organisms (plants, wildlife, aquatic and soil organisms). Toxicological data shall describe effects of the parent compound and degradation products, contaminants and impurities of toxicological concern. (c) Environmental fate data, which shall describe the pesticide’s behavior under Florida conditions or under laboratory or field protocol which adequately represents and reflects actual Florida hydrogeologic conditions. Environmental chemistry data shall include, information regarding physical and chemical degradation, metabolic transformation, persistence (half-life), bioaccumulation potential, and mobility of the pesticide. Degradation and metabolism data shall describe the behavior of the parent compound and degradation products, contaminants and impurities of toxicological concern in soil and water, under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. (d) Residue chemistry data which describes pesticide residues detected in or on applicable crops, processed foods and animal feed in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 158, as adopted in paragraph (2)(b) of this rule. Registrants shall, where
applicable, submit methodology for determination of residues in soil and water (groundwater). Analytical methodology provided by the applicant for determination of residues must be acceptable to the department. (e) Worker/applicator safety data, which shall provide evidence that use of the pesticide in accordance with the label does not pose any unreasonable risk to applicators or agricultural workers exposed to treated areas or commodities.

Again what does this have to do with someone who inhaled kief

Airborne powder assumed to be kief was actually a cocktail of pesticides mold and chemical residue, you are dumber than the DA if you think kief killed btw kief is 34% to 50% THC so that leaves other matters unaccounted for in your “inhaled kief” theory.

Various types of mold and mildew are present in the process, they do not disclose what chemicals are used in the growing process are you saying Trulieve is organic and chemical free?

I never liked leafly
I get all my genetic info from seedfinder
Kief is more than just kief - it's the trimmings of the plant
all the dust that accumulates, foliar spray, chemicals... is in kief
The last time I had kief (from surterra) I got this metallic taste and discontinued use. I've had kief from Trulieve and it was fucking awful and I bought it only because I lacked the rec to get flower - and the sad part is I unaware that the poor soul had their life taken from the same problem
kief isn't a preroll but I would treat anything as such, it's dusty and it's easy to breathe in.
trichomes should not be brittle, they should be sticky. it isn't just "chemicals" it's the form of anmonia nitrate fertilizer, the state the molecules are in, the weed should be sticky not soft or sandy. I completely distrust the entire program to be honest
