LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board has issued a warning to consumers to avoid certain batches of cannabis products treated with an unapproved pesticide.

The affected products include the strains, Apple Fritter, Double OG Sour, Kush Mints, Kobe and Zummy Bears.
According to the CCB, there is no reason to believe the cannabis sales facilities or cannabis testing facilities knew about the use of Ethephon since it is not on the list of pesticides the testing facilities must look for.
