IRONY OF PESTICIDE-FREE POT Is anyone else laughing at the irony of protecting pot consumers from the harmful effects of marijuana grown with pesticides? Larisa Bolivar of the Cannabis Consumers Coalition chides the government and businesses for not doing a better job of reaching out to customers to alert them of the recalled pot. "This is public safety. We need to be looking out for consumers' best interests." Ha, ha, that's actually funny. Wonder if they've read the research showing how pot use cripples brain development and function? Pesticides should really be the least of their concerns.
