Cannabis Contaminants Pt 2: Regulating Solvents, Microbes, and Metals in Legal Weed
My latest feature for Environmental Health Perspectives is a follow-up to my April feature addressing the regulation of pesticide residues on legal cannabis. This second story tackles the similarly fraught world of regulating three other common cannabis contaminants: microbes, metals, and solvent residues.

The result is an uncertain and occasionally incoherent regulatory landscape."
