Cannabis consumption has gained widespread popularity for both medicinal and recreational use. While its benefits are recognized in areas such as pain management, anxiety relief, and seizure control, the risks associated with its use are often overlooked—particularly those arising from contamination and impurities. As cannabis legalization expands, more products are entering the market, but many do not meet consistent or rigorous safety standards.
Unlike pharmaceuticals, which are subject to stringent regulatory oversight, cannabis products, especially those from unlicensed or informal channels, often lack comprehensive quality control. This can expose consumers to contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals, molds, and synthetic additives, each carrying unique health risks.
