What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.

Post guidelines

Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Yes, but their suppliers aren't, and I'd guess that the issues did not originally arise in the coffeeshops

The pesticides are almost certainly the fault of the grower, but the bacteria I'm not so certain

This is bad news. Using cannabis is stigmatized the last decennium here in the Netherlands, due to our government. With this discovery, it could become even worse! I'm a user of the so called Iriewater, ( website.suvernuver.org ) to fight my health-issues. I know this online shop is doing very well, but coffeeshops in the cities could be facing problems !
thanks for sharing this.
