On LinkedIn, Jonathan Wilson posted a great analogy for irradiated vs non-irradiated, and why’re the team at Crystal Cure is committed to non-irradiated flower.

I took the time to revisit my own analogy:

Imagine two sushi shops.

The place I go to

One keeps the restaurant pristine, keeps tabs on the quality of the fish and makes sure everything is perfect. Their knives are always kept clean and sharp: as a result, there’s no fecal material on their tools or cutting board. Sushi always tastes fresh, it’s always just right and there’s no doubt you’re getting a great meal.

The other option

The second sushi shop is messy, clunky, disorganized. They don’t know exactly when each fish was sourced. The knives aren’t always clean, they’re not always sharp. So they microwave the sushi (who even does that?!?) before serving it to you to remove surface bacteria. So it’s safe to eat, but you’re still eating poo.
