Marijuana Affects On You and The Future

A CNN report late last year helped highlight a growing problem associated with the expanding marijuana industry – pesticide use and regulation.Pesticides in marijuana is not regulated at the federal level, which means each state has its own list of pesticides that are acceptable – and its own problems with regulating use and testing with the exploding industry.Currently, the states that have some legalization already require testing be done at independent labs and have their own lists of acceptable pesticides.And without the protection of organic labeling, due to the illegal status nationally, anyone taking marijuana in any of its forms have to work to find a trusted source, or, be at risk to pesticides including inidacloprid and mylobutanil, which are both considered hazardous by the World Health Organization.
