Supposedly one of the most germ-laden common objects is the handle of a shopping cart, tons of fecal coliform and bacteria from all the toddlers different orifices.

Door knobs in public places must freak you out.:?
Nah, I was just having a stoner thought with the start of this thread. I am far from a germ freak... the 10 second rule still applies for me LOL..... actually I started arguing with someone on RIU about finger hash.... I told him " finger hash is the fucking bombest hash you can smoke IMO" He said " no thanks man, especially if my trimmer friends are not washing in the bathroom... you are smoking shit and skin cells " .... Lol

Personally I like to see budtenders use gloves. I use gloves when I trimmed. Hands are dirty. Just as I dont want a cook to abnormally handle my food , I don't want buds abnormally handled either.

Yesterday I was at a dispensary and was going to buy the most beautiful looking buds. Frosty as all hell and blue... But I found a thick grey hair in the container. As they were measuring. I said " is that dog hair?" Pulled it out myself mind you. It was a thick, oily , grey hair. With scalp meat still lingering at the root part. Fuckin nasty. It smelled like scalp. I quickly order something else. Other patients just chuckled. It's like that tho. If I had not seen it I would have got the bud.

Just like food. Who knows what's in there sometimes. But when you actually find something foreign it ruins the plate. My 2 cents

I wouldn't mind a dog hair. But something about a human hair with scalp meat turned me off. Plus the containers were dirty too. Ya I'm torching it but Fuck that. I have a steong sense of smell and taste. Kinda like a dog. Hahah

Not to be fear mongering, but the OP does have a point.

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/bodyhorrors/2012/09/13/marijuana-salmonella/#.UpDQu8TIWzE

From the article:
This wasn’t a food-borne but a marijuana-borne outbreak.
Laboratory tests of the marijuana in question found staggering quantities of the bacteria on the drug, in some instances as high as 107 or ten million bacteria per gram of bud. Investigators found that the green stuff had reached its way across the country from California to Massachusetts, concomitantly spreading the S. muenchen outbreak.
How did the Salmonella end up in the skunk?
"How did the Salmonella end up in the skunk? Investigators determined that the marijuana was imported from either Jamaica or Colombia and distributors there seem to have deliberately adulterated the product with manure prior to shipment"
this isn't from lack of hand washing it's poisoning.

I see the point your making but personally, I'm a lot more concerned about ppl spraying guano teas and the like. Also, the use of insecticides that were never intended or approved for food use.

really interesting point op. yeah the combustion process will kill anything nasty i would assume, but still how would you ever clean the buds? that Jamaican shit is crazy and brought up a scare for me. what if terrorist wanted to kill off stones and just flew over big grows with some terrorist level bacteria just misting the nuggs.. no one knew and the buds where process and sold to the masses... then everyone's lungs started turning into raccoon assholes or some crazy shit like that.. even more reason to grow your own

Maybe carry one of those ultraviolet germicidal radiation lights and just wave the light over your buds first. I'm sure that wouldn't garner any weird looks at a dispensary or dealers house.

IMHO if you are smokin or vaping, the process involves enough heat to kill any nasties that you might run into. That is as long as you don't share a doobie with a drooling HIV positive pal. After all, even hospitals burn biopsies and hazardous materials. :peace:& be kind.
Hiv doesnt pass through saliva lol nice try though....no the flame kills shit...and I wear gloves during trim but really ya buds get touched unless dudes are wiping their ass then going n touchen buds im ok but shit bud im good

All I know-- out of sight, out of mind. If I see it right then and there it ruins it for me. But lord knows what I've blazed anyway. Man I prefer lady budtenders and dealers. Tho I have neither.

Haven't dealt with a dealer since 2006 (mmj legal). But gloves are a plus for me. And I'm used to be pretty grimy. But if I want sweaty , pubic hair infested pot , I'll get the cheap shit from a lady dealer. Just saying. :smoke:

I'm high and sippin on some tall cans right now. So I don't know if that makes sense. Peace
