"But experts warn that unwelcome chemicals, including pesticides, may be tagging along with the THC and threatening the health of marijuana users.

"There's a pretty considerable amount of contaminated cannabis," said Jeff Raber ofThe Werc Shop, a Pasadena, Calif.-based lab that tests products primarily for California dispensaries."

You're pretty much ingesting insecticide nearly every time you put something in your mouth.

[alocispepraluger102]

would that humans could develop resistances as quickly as insects.

[Scott Dolan]

No kidding...

[fasstrack]

This reminds me of the paraquat scare. Anyone remember that?

[Scott Dolan]

Yep.

They even sold stuff in Florida called Paraquat. It was essentially high powered skunk.

*ahem*

At least that's what others told me...

[fasstrack]

Grow it yourself is the answer, I guess....

[BeBop]

Since I don't smoke marijuana (or tobacco), I'm taking my pesticides "straight".

Why do I feel like I'd be better off "cutting" them with pot or cigarette smoke?

Anyone try Jilly Bean?

[ArtSalt]

You can but marijuana here in the coffee shops, a wide variety and some ready rolled. My only recommendation - unless you want to instantly astrally project and have a Tangerine Dream album to hand - never, ever, smoke the White Widow variety.

[Soulstation1]

Gotta disagree about the white widow...

So much is grown indoors where pesticides aren't needed. Just another fear mongering bullshit story from "the man."

Back when I lived in East LA County, there was a DJ on KMET named Paraquat Kelly [formally, Machine Gun Kelly].

His name was a parody of the chemical spraying going on down in Mexico at the time [70s].

Legalize it, dammit.

What about 'Horse Tranquiliser'.

Wasn't that used to make leaf and tip more potent?

[Jazzmoose]

In answer to the question, no, I'm not.

Very little of what you buy on the street is grown indoors. Most of it comes up from Mexico, or from the tropics.

Dude, I live in Oregon.

[Scott Dolan]

And?

My previous comment would be enough for Patrick Leahy.

[.:.impossible]

With all due respect, who buys marijuana on the street?

Most of what I have seen in the past twenty years living in NC was grown in NC; some of it outdoors, some of it indoors.

I'm sure the shit we smoked in high school came from Mexico. Hell, it was probably grown a decade prior for that matter!

I'm not a habitual smoker, but it is not hard to find freshly harvested semi-local, or local marijuana.

I remember friends of friends making the cross-country trip to Oregon for harvests. They were the most popular kids in town for about three days!

[Jazzmoose]

And?

And we don't buy pot "off the street"; we know growers who grow indoors. Even in California what I bought was grown in California. I haven't seen Mexican pot since the seventies. You really need better connections...

Mexican Weed AKA Reggie Bush........

Gotta give a shout out to Tangelo Kush....

You know, I've got to admit I always thought the idea of medical weed was a big con, though one I was willing to support. Until I started chemo. I never thought the munchies would be a good thing...
