Legal cannabis and hemp-based products are quickly becoming natural, sensible, and affordable solutions/alternatives to the vast number of pharmaceutical medicines already on the market. With so many negative side-effects (including fatal overdoses) associated with such prominently prescribed opiate-based drugs as Oxycontin, Fentanyl, just to name a few, it makes perfect sense that people are turning towards cannabis (from which, by the way, there are no known overdoses). However, not all buds are created equal…
Perhaps the most crucial reason for the importance of organic cannabis comes down to a very basic issue that any modern person should consider: the quality of the things we put in our bodies. Whether used recreationally once in a while, or medicinally on a daily basis, choosing between organic, tested, and trusted cannabis (or hemp) and synthetic, pesticide-filled cannabis should really be no choice at all. Keep reading as we break down why organic cannabis cultivation is so important to our health and balance.

Pesticides
In many recently-legal states, the majority of most cannabis being produced is being done indoors. Reasons for this include the ability to have a greater control over one’s growing environment, along with a greater degree of discretion and larger yield potential due to bigger/stronger lights, air filtration systems, etc. While these may seem like great reasons, the cost of keeping an indoor operation is an environmental and a health-related threat in most cases. Dangerous pesticides and untested nutrients show up in the final product that we consume – but it doesn’t have to be this way!
There are outdoor cannabis cultivators such as Rob Trotter and Pot Zero, that practice an entirely organic model of farming. Their trailblazing “zero chemical/zero carbon footprint” model, in our opinion is the best example of what it means to be truly “organic”. Nestled under the picturesque Rocky Mountains, Pot Zero relies on their own cattle for plant nutrition, and thousands of ladybugs as their friendly pesticide agents. With a progressive company such as this one, you can be sure that what you’re putting in your body is the absolute best it can be. And that is something to feel good about.
Trusted Brands
Here at PufCreativ, we’re proud to consider ourselves a trusted brand, therefore we of course strive to work with and support other trusted brands. As true believers in this cause for a better alternative to pharmaceuticals, making connections with established, industry-compliant, tested cannabis brands is vital for our clients and for us as well. With new industry comes over-saturation, therefore it is important to be very picky when it comes to choosing the right brand for your medicine.
Dr. Robb Farms is one of those brands. The many years of expertise that Dr. Robert Flannery has amassed throughout his career is perhaps the biggest asset of the brand; one that new and old clients can rely on for top-notch medicine. His team is carefully chosen, one of their mottos being that they desire to fill their team with partners who are the smartest people in the room for their particular trade.
We believe that utilizing valuable human labor efficiently is absolutely an extension of organic farming. Many modern grow operations are implementing more and more machines into their cycle, and it feels as though something is being lost. There’s something special and sacred that comes from medicine that has been handled by caring hands, and thankfully companies such as ProCannaGro are there to assist organic farmers to maximize the quality of their products by optimizing efficiency.
PufCreativ is proud to be a supporter of organic farming; the philosophy, techniques, and most importantly the way organic cannabis interacts with our bodies. Keep following our blog for more helpful information to ensure your best and most balanced self!
