Banned Pesticides found in Pot

[sumdumguy]

Ok, who done it? Colorado tested the Pot and found trace of forbidden chemical. At least they are testing. I once asked CGC inspector if they ever test fruit and vegetable shipments from Columbia, etc. He said didn't ever hear of any at the Regina office. Guess we'll have to test ourselves.

Sorry, it wasn't CGC. It was CFIA (Canadian Food inspection Association).

That is one thing I do believe the gov agencies that are responsible for this sort of testing and surveillance have had funding disappear....hopefully this gets rectified...talking about fruits and veggies, not pot....yet ;-)

Just a question. Not implying anything.

But let's say they sprayed lorsban on the pot prior to harvest.

Somehow I don't think that would work out to well.

Sometimes if they get a bad crop they lace it with crystal meth

I'm not really for legalization and "liberalizing" it's use but maybe for these reasons alone maybe it should be regulated?

Any seed under gods green earth should be legal to grow period.

Big Lentil:
What about noxious weeds? A lot of weed problems in fields started out as flowers in someone's garden. Case in point is Jimsonweed, the poisonous weed now found in canola fields. It is known to gardeners as Devil's Trumpet. Or purple loosestrife or ox eye daisy or scentless chamomile? Are you okay with gardener's planting whatever they think is pretty even if there is a great risk of that plant becoming invasive?

And if you think people should be able to grow what ever they want, what would you do if you had a neighbor who is doing nothing to control noxious weeds on his property? Do you think it is okay that he is perpetuating a weed problem not only on his farm but given seed spread is harming neighbors?

Shut up and Pass The Weed!!!!!!!!!!

[biglentil]

Actually dml jimsonweed has beed used for centuries to treat wounds topically and is also very effective at treating asthma. We are damn near at the point where we can't legally save any seed for the next season. The tpp will take us that much closer, but by the sound of it your ok with us giving up our rights.
