PESTICIDE FOR POT IS PULLED NATIONWIDE

The Oregon Department of Agriculture stopped the sale of a pesticide used by marijuana growers because one of its active ingredients is not listed on the product label.

The agency says the product, Guardian, identifies itself as 100 percent natural and lists its active ingredients as cinnamon oil and citric acid.  A state lab, however, found the presence of abamectin, a widely used insecticide.

A company official said the product has been pulled nationwide.
