Pesticide-Free Pot

A pair of medical marijuana growers in California's Mendocino County want their crop certified as "organic," but local authorities don't know quite what to do with them:

Mendocino County Agricultural Commissioner Dave Bengston wrote to the state department of food and agriculture last month, asking if the county can certify pot as organic and if employees should be inspecting marijuana nurseries to check for pests and other problems as they do with other crops…

The first time someone brought in a pot plant for a health check, was "awkward," said [Tony Linegar, assistant agricultural commissioner for Mendocino County].

Whole thing here.
