When my Grandparents were of child bearing age it was socially acceptable for pregnant women to smoke tobacco, and even drink to some degree. It was understood that smoking was bad for you, despite what the tobacco company said at the time. People knew it was bad but they didn't understand how bad. I can't help but wonder if radiation emissions from cell phones might be the second hand smoke of my generation. My point is; do you need the government to tell you it's harmful before you stop doing it? It's this soggy minded logic that fuels much of the liberal agenda, costs tax payers millions and leads to implementation of some of the most ridiculous laws.

The USDA, EPA and FDA have decided this chemical and others like it are dangerous to humans, this has lead to a ban of it's use in commercial agriculture. Really? you require more 'proof' that it's bad? This is exactly the type foolishness that leads to the requirement of frivolous unnecessary legislation. When did people become so stupid that we needed laws to prevent them from killing themselves?
In an earlier version of
my article I took a stronger stance in regard the further testing being required by the EPA but my editor suggested I refrain. Perhaps here i will share this idea; There is further testing required to determine the exact impact that PGRs have on combusted consumables. Testing of this type is expensive, who in the hell do you imagine wants to pay for this? I assure you that it will not be the tobacco company's. So, because I am not a chemist I will adhere to the guidelines established for consumable food crops and apply them, where logical to marijuana as well. One commonly over looked mistake made by growers is application of products indicating safety in spray up to the day of harvest. Marijuana unlike tomatoes or cucumbers can not be washed prior to consumption. These products, seemingly harmless, products even from SAFER brand will leave potentialy dangerous residue on your medicine.
I'm excited that marijuana testing facility's like steep hill and SC labs exist, they didn't always. We used to grow in the stone age, this industry has come so far, lets make use of the wealth of information that is so readily available to us. The truth is, these PGRs are not a secret weight boosting agent. They can make marijuana plants do some very irregular things that in some cases can prove advantageous to the grower, but at what cost? They will not increase THC or CBD content, they will not speed maturation. The just aren't worth gambling your or someone else health on.
