Important topic matter that the community needs to discuss transparently 💚😮‍💨💨

If it failed mold testing, why aren’t consumers told?

This is a photo of me—an entrepreneur, inventor, medical cannabis patient, and founder of a wellness company—using my medicine.

Cannabis isn’t a trend or a marketing buzzword for me. It’s part of my daily life. It’s how I manage my complex autoimmune condition and chronic pain disorder. And like millions of patients around the world, I have the right to know what’s in the medicine I rely on.

Yet in 2025, the cannabis industry still doesn’t require labels for products that have been remediated—meaning they failed microbial testing (for mold, yeast, bacteria) and were irradiated or chemically sterilized to kill contaminants.

Let me say that again:

If cannabis fails mold testing, it can be radiated and legally sold—with zero disclosure on the label.

⸻

Would you eat moldy food just because it was “zapped clean”?

Remediation doesn’t remove mold. It just kills it.
What’s left behind—dead toxins, degraded cannabinoids, altered terpenes—can still impact the body, especially for patients like me with compromised immune systems. We have no idea what consuming remediated cannabis does to the body long-term.

⸻

At Holistic H**p Solutions, we don’t play that game.

We go beyond clean—we use organic raw materials, use zero chemical sprays, and will never use remediated or irradiated h**p in any of our formulations. If a harvest can’t meet our strict microbial standards naturally, it doesn’t go in the bottle. Period.

Because healing begins at the root.

⸻

What I’m calling for is simple:

FULL TRANSPARENCY on cannabis packaging.
• Was the product remediated or irradiated?
• What were microbial levels pre/post-treatment?
• Is this safe for daily or immunocompromised use?

These should be as clear as allergens on food. We need truth in medicine, not silence in marketing.

⸻

This photo may be unconventional, but so is the lack of accountability in this industry.

I will continue to speak up. Loudly. Unapologetically. Until patients, caregivers, and consumers have the information they need to make safe, empowered decisions.

Because our lives depend on it.

This man is proof that you can rise above whatever hand you are dealt in life. And his story is a window into the truths about what injustices are perpetrated onto the black community and why we must continue the fight for change. If you are not outraged by this than you are not hearing the message. If you are not inspired by how he has channeled his energy and the relentless spirit that refuses to surrender, than you are missing the point of the message. Nathaniel Nelson I am proud of everything you are and it is a privilege to be able to call you a friend. Never stop the fight.
