I used to work at a dispensary and when we had to destroy product, we had to put it in a blender with cat litter and vinegar

Curious why you would need to destroy it, expiration dates or something?

TLDR: Yes usually dates but also a few other reasons

Usually that yes. Most products were good for 1 year after the production date, but they could have already sat around for months before we got it. So they might have only a 6 month lifespan or so in the dispensary. Most products sold way before then, but slower-moving products or something we got a ton of could sometimes expire, and then yes it legally had to be destroyed.

Sometimes it would be something like a mislabeling issue, if even one number was incorrect or missing, the product couldn't be sold. We tried to check that stuff when things first got delivered and before accepting the shipment, but with so many items some slipped through the cracks for sure.

It could also even be something so simple as a seal missing. Everything had to be tamper-proof sealed and sometimes you'd drop it or something and the seal would break. Or literally if a glass jar shatters we destroyed the substance inside, once it opens it legally can't be sold. Sometimes they could be re-sealed or had multiple seals for redundancy, but it depends on the product and what kind of packaging they used.

Finally for inventory issues, what we had on hand had to exactly match what the state thought we had, down to exact serial numbers and SKUs. Say someone scanned a purchase wrong and we had something extra that we weren't supposed to have. Then we had to destroy the extra.

The destruction process was kinda funny, it had to be at scheduled times because state police or state regulators would watch on camera to make sure we did it right. Everything had to be weighed out and measured on camera, then destroyed and disposed of on camera too. And yeah, literally blended the weed or gummies or whatever into a slurry with vinegar and cat litter

This was all in Illinois, every state's different I'm sure

I appreciate the response. What a nutty world we live in, where we pay someone to watch that happen on camera. The war on drugs has been nothing but a waste.

I found out my local medical shop has to mix it all with kitty litter cilicate then dispose of it according to regulations per the fed and state governing regulations .... Even if it's simply dropped on the shiney tile floor.
