Context:
In March 1978, 13 (21 per cent) of 61 marijuana samples from the southwestern United States were found to be contaminated with the herbicide paraquat, a pulmonary toxin, in concentrations from 3 to 2,264 parts per million. The source of the contamination was an aerial spraying program in Mexico, supported indirectly by United States funds. To evaluate US exposure, a nationwide survey of the paraquat content of confiscated marijuana was conducted. The survey found 33 (3.6 per cent) of 910 marijuana specimens to contain detectable paraquat. In states adjacent to Mexico (Census Region VI), 23 (12.8 per cent) of 180 specimens were contaminated. Combustion testing indicated that approximately 0.2 per cent of paraquat on marijuana passes into smoke. From these data, we projected that 100-200 marijuana smokers in Census Region VI would be exposed by inhalation to 500 micrograms or more of paraquat per year, a dose judged to represent a health hazard; nationally, between 150 and 300 smokers were projected to have such exposure. Another 6,000 persons in Region VI and 9,000 nationally were projected to be at risk of exposure to between 100 and 499 micrograms of paraquat annually. The risk of paraquat exposure was greatest among those smokers who make one large purchase of marijuana per year. No clinical cases of paraquat poisoning were recognized among marijuana smokers during these studies, but no systematic national search for such cases was undertaken.

I smoked that shit back in the 70s, i think. It was all the rumor that they were paraquatting mexican dirt weed back then. We did it w/o knowing for sure. Then as you did Stu420, i looked it up last year, finding basically what you found. So, i dunno, i smoked it, and i’m ok, i’m ok, i’m ok… 
Yeah, maybe, we thot that too, but also they were dusting Vietnam with Agent Orange as a defoliation tactic. So why not defoliate cannabis too. We thot that back then, that it made sense. Hey we were higher on that paraquatted mexican dirt weed than i’ve ever been on buying Dispo Weed the past 8 years.
And now u know another one of many who did that back in the 1950s when i was probly 7 or 8 yrs old. Fun, at night and shit, it was great. We thot they wouldn’t dust us w/poison. HAH!
Plus we smoked paraquat, plus i was exposed to Agent Orange, White and Purple too. I’m a fucking mess, but still here talkin’ an’ actin’ the fool. WTF, over?

Its always crazy to me that airdropping pesticides like paraquat used to be normal. I know someone who used to chase the crop dusters and have races with their friends to see who could outrun the DDT clouds.

Who did you buy it from? That’s definitely a scare
Not if you do it right. Do research on all insecticides and fungicides. Understand what these do to the body. Be your own best advocate. Look into the growing practices of the brands you use. A lot of small operation grows around the country are doing well. The bigger conglomerates aren’t.
Misread the question. Yes it will if they aren’t utilizing a system that meets which ever government agency protocols. I would imagine that there will be a program written for facilities, but infancy fed legalization will have some hiccups.
