Concerns Rise Over Pesticide Contamination in California's Cannabis Supply Chain

Credited from: LATIMES

  • California cannabis farmers reported using pymetrozine, a pesticide illegal for cannabis, despite its effectiveness against pests.
  • Over half of cannabis smoking products in the state contain chemicals lacking public safety monitoring, as revealed by a Times analysis.
  • The convoluted supply chain makes it challenging to trace contamination sources, resulting in serious health risks to consumers.
  • Regulators acknowledged contamination issues but claimed most legal products meet state standards, despite ineffective enforcement.
  • Private sector initiatives are emerging to ensure safer products, but the regulatory framework remains inadequate, causing uncertainty among consumers.
