That's another completely incorrect claim, turd.

PrairiePlantSystems (PPS) - the company that had a monopoly on the Canadian medical marijuana market - has some of the lowest quality marijuana. Test have shown that heavy metals have gotten into the marijuana from the mine grow-op.

In general, their product is terrible despite boasting premium "top-of-the-line quality"

The best weed in Canada is grown in an underground mine... the reason is the temperature is consistent... but that is beside the point. Under ground means controlled lighting.

I offer proof of my claims which are only facts:

Prairie Plant Plant Systems' Medical Marijuana Monopoly is Back

The historically successful company then seemed to get off on the wrong foot when it came to medical marijuana. Despite claims PPS was growing a top-quality product by CEO Zettl, Health Canada repeatedly delayed the distribution of the company's finished product.
Once the program was actually up and running, patients receiving the medicine began to complain about the low quality of the PPS product. Patients called the marijuana "weak" and "disgusting", and described it as ground-up mix of buds, leaves and stalk.
Beginning in 2003, the Canadians for Safe Access (CSA), the country's largest medical marijuana patients rights organization, acquired a sample of PPS's pot and began testing. What they found was downright scary.
The group published an Open Letter of Concern for the Health and Safety of Canada's Medicinal Cannabis Community – a detailed study of PPS's cannabis – that raised a number of serious concerns about the quality and safety of the product.
"Upon initial physical examination, it became apparent that claims by PPS and Health Canada that the PPS cannabis was 10% THC seemed overly optimistic." the letter states. "The product was of very fine grind with visible stalk and stems peppered throughout and very little detectable trichome development. When put under flame, it produced a dark smoke with an unpleasant taste and odor. The cannabis burned very poorly and left a thick black residual ash, immediately suggesting inadequate nutrient flushing. This was later confirmed by an examination of tests conducted by Norwest labs for PPS, which show unusually high levels of phosphorous, calcium, and magnesium all of which are 'flowering' fertilizers used at the end of growth cycle, and are typically to blame for the poor combustion and acrid taste of inferior quality black-market cannabis."

Heavy Metal Marijuana-- from PrairiePlantSystem's mine grow-op
Adding to PPS's growing problems were concerns about the safety of their growing facilities deep underground in a zinc and copper mine in Flin Flon. "As a result of over 80 years of mining and smelting," the CSA wrote, "a number of official Conservation Canada, Natural Resources Canada and Environment Canada reports suggest that Flin Flon and the surrounding region is one of the most environmentally contaminated areas in North America."
According to a MiningWatch Canada report released in 2001 , "the sheer size of the contaminated area in Flin Flon makes it impossible to remediate. In particular, there is a large volume of tailings that blow in the wind, and the metal content (copper, cadmium and lead) makes it difficult for vegetation to establish. Community concerns have historically not been adequately addressed, and much information, including that collected by Health Canada (e. g., toxic metal levels in blueberries) has not been made available to the residents of Flin Flon..."
