Banned fungicide turns up in samples from LA dispensaries

https://www.nbcsandiego.com/investigations/national-investigations/Marijuana-Poison-Pot-Investigation-506356011.html

Excerpt "... lab tests showed those cartridges contained numerous banned pesticides, including myclobutanil, a pesticide that the manufacturer said become poisonous hydrogen cyanide when it’s heated up, which is what happens when smoking or vaping the pot."

"Seven of the 24 samples purchased by NBC4, or nearly 30 percent, tested positive for pesticides. That means they fail to comply with state regulations for safe pot."

That's what you would expect when dealing with a dispensary.

if you have to go to the store, go to a legit licensed one that pays all the taxes... those taxes go partially towards testing and keeping this shit out of the stream of commerce.

is it true that some or most of the carts being made have lead in them, not the actual oil, but in the container? Along with other stuff? Not all the makers, but the imitators?

I guess testing is a good thing. You don't need pesticides to grow weed unless you have dirty facilities or growing outside. Testing will separate the good growers from the douchebags.
