A veterinarian warns that someone is poisoning pets in San Juan parks with identical threatening notes.

1. The 'Dame la Verde' podcast, hosted by Chino and Pollo, records a Valentine's Day weekend episode discussing cannabis industry news, market statistics, and local events in Puerto Rico. 2. Main hosts are Chino and Pollo; a guest identified as Goodwin, affiliated with Puerto Rico Liga de Marihuana, provides regulatory and industry expertise, while a third voice (Carlito) participates in audio only. 3. The episode's central investigative finding is that at least one Puerto Rico cannabis laboratory — which previously had its license revoked and then reinstated — is issuing certificates of analysis showing terpene concentrations of 30-50%, which the guest describes as scientifically impossible given that real terpene content maxes out at 1-3%. 4. The guest compares falsified COA data to selling Tylenol labeled as 500mg that contains only 25mg, calling it direct consumer fraud that deceives medical patients about their medication's actual composition. 5. Neither DACO (Puerto Rico's consumer protection agency) nor the Office of the Cannabis Commissioner has claimed clear jurisdiction over COA fraud, leaving legal action to dispensaries through civil lawsuits against non-compliant labs. 6. Trump's administration gave the hemp industry one year to adjust to potential new regulations on intoxicating hemp products (gummies, delta-8 products); the guest predicts the industry will heavily lobby to reshape those rules before the deadline. 7. Coca-Cola is reportedly testing cannabis-derived terpene flavors without THC, which the guest reads as a mainstream signal that cannabis is increasingly accepted as a flavor and lifestyle product. 8. The hosts note that Coca-Cola's original 19th-century formula contained cocaine, making the current cannabis-terpene experiment a historical parallel rather than a radical departure. 9. A study cited on the episode shows approximately 44 million Americans consume cannabis regularly: 18 million smoke 21+ days per month, 15 million smoke 4-20 days, and 11 million smoke 3 or fewer days per month. 10. By comparison, 54% of US adults drink alcohol, placing cannabis at roughly 13% of the US population — a gap the guest predicts will narrow significantly as federal legalization progresses. 11. A Vietnam veteran cited in the episode chose cannabis over alcohol during combat because 'drunk soldiers can't find things,' and has continued smoking rather than drinking for decades since. 12. Borincana, a Guaynabo-based Puerto Rico cannabis brand with ties to one of the hosts, now carries over 80 strains with approximately 50 active at any time and is releasing rosin-based extracts made from flower rather than trim. 13. Upcoming Borincana strains include pineapple bun, animal face cross, papaya, and honey banana genetics, developed in collaboration with Bloom and Sherp growers. 14. A warning circulated on social media by a veterinarian reports deliberate poisoning of pets in parks, beaches, and communal areas near the Condado district of San Juan, with multiple confirmed animal deaths. 15. The poisoning warning uses identical text across multiple social media posts, suggesting a single perpetrator targeting areas where dogs typically stop to urinate. 16. Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance in February is discussed at length; one host was brought to tears by the cultural pride of a Puerto Rican artist performing on the largest US television stage. 17. The hosts debate whether Bad Bunny used profanity during the performance, ultimately concluding the broadcast was bleeped appropriately and that some audience members may have filled in lyrics from memory. 18. The episode is casual and rambling, with visible cannabis consumption during recording; the tone is celebratory and informal throughout, with frequent digressions and inside jokes. 19. Puerto Rican cannabis consumers, cannabis industry professionals interested in regulatory developments, and fans of Puerto Rican pop culture will find the most relevant content here. 20. Listeners seeking structured journalism, English-language content, or non-cannabis topics will find minimal relevant material.
