SALEM, Ore. – State regulators are issuing a health advisory over a potentially hazardous marijuana product.
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission issued an “immediate health and safety advisory” due to potentially unsafe pesticide residue used in a particular packaged marijuana product. That product was cultivated by “Ard Ri” and packed for sale by “DYME Distribution.” The flower was made into pre-rolled joints marketed under “Winberry Farms Sweet Leaf Blend” as the strain “Trap Star.”
