As the essentially the lone full time cannabis beat reporter for the paper of record for Boston, The Boston Globe, marijuana in Massachusetts is the focus of Dan Adams efforts.

And since everyone knows when you need to #betteryourjourney you head to Canna Provisions, The Boston Globe’s marijuana unit was dispatched across the state to our neck of the woods in the Berkshires.

From The Boston Globe (paywall):

“You don’t walk into a greenhouse and say, ‘Oh my god, this is the cleanest place in the world,’ ” said [one cultivator]. “You expect soil to be there — living things. It’s overkill what we’re having to do right now. It feels like I’m manufacturing some secret government chemical. I wish I could keep it natural, but it’s an investment that needs to be repaid.”

The challenge is even steeper outdoors, where the state’s humid autumns promote microbial growth. Last season, nearly all the marijuana grown outdoors in Massachusetts failed its first microbe test, according to industry executives, while just 16.5 percent of all flower grown in the state (mostly indoors) flunked on the first try.

“The fall here is really tough with all the rain,” said Greg “Chemdog” Krzanowski, a longtime underground grower in Massachusetts who recently joined the legal business as the head of cultivation for Canna Provisions. “You have to find strains that finish [flowering] in September. Any later and you run into a lot of mold problems. You’ll be out there every day at 5 a.m. shaking all the dew and mist off.”

But also don’t forget….CHEMDOG IS COMING.

Yes that’s right the first legal batch of one of the biggest legends in the cultivation game of the last 30 years is on its way, and the ONLY place you will find it will be at Canna Provisions.
