This news is very upsetting. There are currently 2 class action suits underway with other companies. It's a crummy reality but even the most revered can get caught up in the greed and it looks like that is what happened. Dunno what kind of fallout. I feel very sad about the situation because they were my favourite LP.
I am one of the patients harmed by the Myclobutanil recall at another company, and now this.
I think it's shameful that they have found themselves in this predicament, considering the history of some other LP's, right?
As far as continuing to purchase their cannabis? hmm. Mettrum told me that I wasn't involved in one of their recalls and the following day or so...boom...They left a message that I had purchased some product that were being recalled. Yep, I found myself right smack-dab in the middle of their mess.
It wasn't until I got extremely ill that I started to research the effects of Myclobutanil. I had become deathly ill (lost 40 pounds) and traditional medicine did not know what to do, so I was been left to figure this out for myself. Our health minister has decided, in her infinite wisdom, that the ppm of Myclobutanil is miniscule, and shouldn't make anyone sick. REALLY? Righto. That is a major mistake because I AM sick. So are hundreds of others.
Broken Coast has voluntarily recalled their 3 strains affected. Did their other crops somehow avoid the poisoning? I don't trust a damn thing anymore. I've done enough reading and combing through research papers to know that Myclobutanil is NOT safe on cannabis. It clings to it and no amount of flushing will remove it.
The effects of longterm exposure to hydrogen cyanide is unknown, but areas it migrates to are the heart, brain and liver. I am no longer able to take care of myself. I am too sick to prepare a meal from beginning to end. The last time I attempted to shop, I had to stop, sit down and ask my spouse to finish it without me. I was too weak to continue.
Our government is going to sweep this mess under the carpet because it doesn't make financial sense to suppress sales to investigate a few stray reports. Funny that, my "stray" report was acknowledged as received by my MP but Health Canada hasn't responded. My health reports are well documented. I have consulted with my GP; and sent for multiple tests, 2 specialists; one of whom did the official diagnosis, 2 ER's (1 multiple visits).
People, the Licensed Producers are getting away with a crime and if no one can wake up the health minister, 2018 will be a gamble; with your life.
