The Republic had marijuana tested to see if it was safe. Here's what we found

In 2020, Arizonans voted to legalize recreational
marijuana, and it opened the door for both local and national
marijuana companies to flood the market. But cannabis is not
as highly regulated in Arizona as one might expect. We are in the
wild west of marijuana production and that means some corners are
cut and standards aren’t always consistent. Some cannabis companies
have failed to keep their products free of contaminants. 
Arizona, like most states with legal marijuana and testing rules,
requires growers to submit the products to state-licensed labs
before marijuana is sold on dispensary shelves. But in unlike other
states, regulators here don't do their own testing to ensure
the weed is safe. In this bonus episode of The Gaggle, an
azcentral.com podcast,  Arizona Republic business
reporter, Ryan Randazzo talks about how he got a lab to test
products he bought, and how results came back showing some of that
cannabis was contaminated with a pesticide. Learn more about your
