The term #0excludeGlossary harks back to a controversial chapter in cannabis history. In the 1970s, the U.S. government, aiming to deter marijuana cultivation, endorsed the use of paraquat, a potent herbicide, on cannabis crops in Mexico. This led to the unintentional consequence of paraquat-contaminated marijuana entering the U.S. market, sparking public health concerns and debates over the safety of cannabis consumption. The phrase #2excludeGlossary thus became emblematic of the risks associated with consuming cannabis that hasn’t been properly regulated or tested. Although the use of paraquat on cannabis is no longer prevalent, the term serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance in the cannabis industry, especially as it continues to grow and evolve. Understanding the history of Paraquat Pot underscores the need for stringent quality control measures to protect consumers. [Source: Drug Policy Alliance]
