And a state only testing for a few contaminants might in fact be testing for that very bad thing.

But without that research, which is hard because weed is still federally illegal, it's really hard to know what the worst contaminants are.

Yeah, I definitely want to echo that.

I talked to a weed cultivator who went from the illegal market to the legal one, and he described it as this sort of wild, wild west.

And this guy was like, yeah, there used to be just a guy in a room spraying pesticides with the door closed and no protective gear.

And that just doesn't fly in the legal market.

So if you care about the people who are growing your weed...

It's nice to go legal.

And then just if you're trying to be safer for you, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with what your state regulations are and to regularly check recall lists, which are often published online.

I think that that would be a good idea.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Discounted Wigovi is now available to Costco members, as long as they're not using their health insurance.

With insurance, however, the drug's copay is often less expensive.

The company launched Discounted Wigovi on its direct-to-consumer platform, Novocare, and partnered with several telehealth companies last spring.

That allowed Novo Nordisk to compete with telehealth companies offering compounded obesity drugs during the Wagovi shortage.

The compounded medicines, which aren't usually covered by insurance, were available for a fraction of Wagovi's sticker price of around $1,400 a month.
