That's a good point but the thing is, weed storage is too easy to accidentally screw up. It's just like if you keep your ice cream at too high of a temperature, or milk. It's not rocket science. They almost have to be doing this on purpose.
Notice how milk trucks are refrigerated? I don't believe that the weed is being air conditioned while it's en-route from the growing facility to the dispensaries. I haven't seen any "weed trucks."

Isn't that a perfect example of a conspiracy?

I'm the same way. I don't drink socially either. Just me and my computer.
