The fears of big Pharma / Corporate pot poisoning us with pesticides just became true / reality whats worse is they are using banned pesticides.

This is what happens when you let bean counters run businesses , look at what they did to the farm industry. Its disgusting they care only of obtaining maximum profit with minimum input.

With no concern to suffering or the patience persons or child's health

Buyer beware



A controversial pesticide banned in Canada has been discovered in products sold by a federally licensed medical marijuana producer, The Globe and Mail has learned, but neither the company nor Health Canada have informed the public.

Myclobutanil, a chemical that is also prohibited for use on legal cannabis in Colorado, Washington and Oregon because of health concerns, was found in product recently recalled by Mettrum Ltd., a Toronto-based medical marijuana company.

The pesticide is not approved for use on plants that are combusted, such as tobacco or cannabis, and is known to emit hydrogen cyanide when heated. Lawmakers in the three U.S. states moved quickly to ban myclobutanil, in some cases enacting emergency legislation when they discovered growers using it.
