Hey, Sydney.

Hey.

So, Sydney, like marijuana is now legal in some form in many states.

What's the difference on how weed is regulated versus like how pharmaceuticals are regulated in the U.S.

?

Yeah.

I mean, this brings us back to Teresa, the story in Oklahoma with Summer and Charles.

You know, they got their weed tested and you said that they found mold, they found other things.

Was it that weed that was causing their health issues?

And this wasn't just a one-time thing in Oklahoma.

You wrote in your article about a testing lab manager, Jeffrey Havard, who tested 20 off-the-shelf marijuana joints there.

So what did he find when he did all that testing?

So, Teresa, does that mean that like the state's regulatory system for weed in that case failed?

Okay.

So you reported on how people who produce the weed have to arrange their own testing.

Like, how has that affected the industry?

You also looked at Oregon's regulations.

Why did you look into that state in particular and what did you learn?

And Sydney, you visited California to see how like it was regulating its huge weed industry.

Like what's going on there?
