Petition: Ask States to Test for Pesticides in Cannabis

Source: NutritionFacts.org/YouTube

The cannabis industry has been growing steadily for several years, but the increase in production has also meant an increase in large-scale farms and pesticide use. Cannabis isn’t controlled by any federal body because it’s still considered a Schedule 1 drug, and the EPA can’t regulate pesticide use for its production. On top of that, pesticide testing for cannabis in Florida and Rhode Island is optional, which may cause many consumers and ecosystems to be exposed to potentially high levels of these harmful substances. Please sign this petition to require these states to test for pesticides in cannabis!
