I’ve now read the handbook.
It’s not bad.
Definitely 101, but doesn’t pretend to be anything else.
If you’re going to call it a Handbook, it needs to look a LOT more like the books here:
Story time:
Whatever gripes we may have about them now, how did UL and ASME and NFPA become UL and ASME and NFPA?
They started out by being super useful to people who regulate things. Sometimes they still are. (Sometime’s they’re out to stick their hands into your pockets as deep as possible. I’m looking at you, UL.)
UL = Underwriters Laboratories.
Translates to: The lab who works for insurance underwriters and tells them “if you insure something that looks like THIS, you’re less likely to have to spend money on it because it’s not gonna kaboom during the usual course of business.”
FM global is another good source of Standards. They’re an insurance company, they cut out the middle man and do their own standards instead of paying someone else to develop them.
If the GLGc wants to be more than just one more random certifying body for the cannabis industry, it needs to be equally as useful to the industry.
It’s possible.
But gonna be a lot of fuckin work.
And yeah, drop the “gang” part - I agree with others here who have said that that’s a terrible fuckin name for a professional organization.
A lot of people here act like complete asshats sometimes. Myself included. You don’t need to name-drop this specific rowdy corner of the internet on the cover of the standard.
