[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Narmerthoth: That stuff you find on the streets they calling KUSH isn't even cannibis, but that fake herb they sell in smoke shops sparyed with Paraquat. [/QUOTE]^This is bullshit you have no idea what you are talking about. Kush is a particular variety of cannabis that descends from the Hindu Kush mountains one of the few geographic regions where the cannabis plant grows natively. Kush strains were among those cultivated by the British firm GW Pharmaceuticals for its legally licensed commercial trial of medicinal cannabis Paraquat is a weed killer. It's relation to marijuana was in the late 70s early 80s when the U.S. has spraying it to kill Mexican marijuana and opium fields, not currently! The peasant growers of the Sierra Madre soon developed a new strategy to combat the herbicides. Paraquat kills in the sun. Its chemistry requires about three days of ultraviolet rays in order to destroy the plants on which it has been sprayed. To save the marijuana, peasants began to rush out and harvest the plants minutes after the helicopters were gone; they put their plants in bags to shield them from the sun. Even though they had been sprayed, the leaves of plants so shielded did not yellow. The plants appeared normal, so the peasants could sell them as if they were uncontaminated. The result: contaminated marijuana was mixed into the approximately 3,000 tons of Mexican pot smuggled annually into the U.S. Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Joseph Califano to issue a public warning to marijuana smokers a month ago. Said he: "If an individual smokes three to five heavily contaminated marijuana cigarettes each day for several months, irreversible lung damage will result." There was also, he added, a "risk of lung damage for individuals who use marijuana less often or in smaller amounts." ___________________________________ Paraquat, a herbicide used to control weeds since the 1950s, was banned in the European Union in 2007. It is restricted for use only by licensed technicians in the United States and, since 2012, many of its formulations in China are being phased out. Paraquat is a weed killer once promoted by the United States for use in Mexico to destroy marijuana plants. Paraquat is still widely used across much of the developing world, especially in Asia and Latin America. During the late 1970s, a controversial program sponsored by the US government sprayed paraquat on cannabis fields in Mexico. Mexico began efforts to eradicate marijuana and poppy fields in 1975. The United States government helped by sending helicopters and tech assistance. Helicopters were used to spray herbicides paraquat and 2,4-D on the fields and contaminated pot began to show up in US market. Since much of this cannabis was subsequently smoked by Americans, the US government's "Paraquat Pot" program stirred much debate. Perhaps in an attempt to deter people from using cannabis, representatives of the program warned that spraying rendered the crop unsafe to smoke. However, a 1995 study found that "no lung or other injury in cannabis users has ever been attributed to paraquat contamination".[34] Also a United States Environmental Protection Agency manual states: "... toxic effects caused by this mechanism have been either very rare or nonexistent. Most paraquat that contaminates cannabis is pyrolyzed during smoking to dipyridyl, which is a product of combustion of the leaf material itself (including cannabis) and presents little toxic hazard." In a study by Imperial Chemical Industries, rats who inhaled paraquat showed development of squamous metaplasia in their respiratory tracts after a couple of weeks. This study was included in a report given to the State Department by the Mitre Corporation. The U.S. Public Health Service stated that "this study should not be used to calculate the safe inhalation dose of paraquat in humans." __________________________________________ ^ So as usual you are living in the past, 30 years ago _______________________ Synthetic cannabinoids are a class of chemicals that are different from the cannabinoids found in cannabis but which also bind to cannabinoid receptors. They are often marketed as designer drugs or sold in products with claims that they give the effects of cannabis sometimes called "Spice" and a popular brand known as "K2" When these chemicals are sprayed or otherwise soaked into a plant or other base material the blend is sometimes misleadingly referred to as synthetic marijuana.These synthetic marijuana products are sold for recreational drug use. It's dangerous".[38] Since the term synthetic does not apply to the plant but rather to the chemical that the plant contains (tetrahydrocannabinol), the term synthetic cannabinoid is more appropriate.[39] Research on the safety of synthetic cannabinoids is now being published. Initial studies have been largely concerned with the role of synthetic cannabinoids in psychosis. On July 10, 2012, President Barack Obama signed the Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act of 2012 into law. It banned synthetic compounds commonly found in synthetic marijuana, placing them under Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. Synthetic cannabinoids can be 2-100 times more potent than THC and induce severe side effects. "Spice" is popular with the military because it's harder to detect on drug tests. Synthetic cannabinoids are typically shipped from China ^ Yes this stuff is garbage, But Wesley Muhammad was not specifying this. He specified THC which is the natural compound in marijuana that gets you high and he said that cannabis originates in white culture. He spoke for quite a while on this and is lecturing on it.
