So... I cannot believe this is even still a conversation, but I am having it elsewhere based off THIS:
Denver judge says consumers who sued weren't actually harmed from smoking pot they say was treated with pesticides
A Denver judge Thursday dismissed a lawsuit against the state's largest marijuana grower over its alleged use of pesticides saying the consumers behind the case were not actually harmed.
Denver District Judge J. Eric Eliff said the consumers — one of them a medical-card holder with a brain tumor — couldn't sue because they bought the pot and used it without repercussion.
Brandan Flores and Brandie Larrabee alleged LivWell had inappropriately used Eagle 20, a heavy-hitting pesticide with myclobutanil that kills a variety of pests endangering the plants, and had overpaid for the marijuana.
............... so they had the case thrown out, and even though eagle 20 is NOT approved for cannabis noone will be financially responsible to the consumers, only the state it seems.....
DONT USE
EAGLE 20.... this a copy/paste of my post about it....
a little might not cause immediate permanent damage, but how about repetitive daily consumption? This case should have been a no-brainer, but, that would cause a legal precedent that producers of tainted product are responsible for financial damages to consumers simply for producing that tainted product. As far as
Eagle 20, the science is only halfway there, but it isnt looking good... I wouldnt want to ever smoke anything with that in it. Nobody can prove it even remotely safe, the opposite in fact... what little data there is on combustion and inhalation as opposed to consuming it as an edible residual is showing it to be horrible.
I. The human health effects from the combustion and inhalation of myclobutanil have not been evaluated
Tolerance levels and toxicity studies for myclobutanil on edible products should not be used for evaluating the safety of myclobutanil on marijuana. Passage of pesticides into the bloodstream varies considerably between inhalation and ingestion routes of exposure, and the application of high temperature is known to alter the chemical composition of myclobutanil.
II. Inhalation of pyrolized myclobutanil residue could expose cannabis users to hydrogen cyanide
As noted on the
Eagle 20 material safety data sheet(3), myclobutanil is stable at room temperature, but releases highly toxic gas if heated past its boiling point of 205°C (401°F) (3, 9). Disposable butane lighters, commonly used to ignite marijuana during consumption, produce temperatures in excess of 450°C.
III. Myclobutanil is co-extracted with cannabinoids during concentrate production
Studies of two other conazole fungicides, tebuconazole and propiconazole, have demonstrated that these chemicals are co-extracted during production of essential oils (14). Moreover, the process of extraction, treatment, and concentration can cause tebuconazole and propiconazole pesticide residue to accumulate at levels 250 times higher than the starting material (14). Myclobutanil is highly soluble in many of the solvents used in cannabinoid extraction (ex. ethanol, butane, and carbon dioxide)(15,16), and unquestionably co-extracts with cannabinoids during concentrate production. The process of removing residual solvent and increasing cannabinoid concentration very likely increases levels of myclobutanil, and other chemically-similar pesticides.

HYDROGEN CYANIDE (AC) : Systemic Agent
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ershdb/emergencyresponsecard_29750038.html
Hydrogen cyanide (AC) is a systemic chemical asphyxiant. It interferes with the normal use of oxygen by nearly every organ of the body. Exposure to hydrogen cyanide (AC) can be rapidly fatal. It has whole-body (systemic) effects, particularly affecting those organ systems most sensitive to low oxygen levels: the central nervous system (brain), the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels), and the pulmonary system (lungs). Hydrogen cyanide (AC) is a chemical warfare agent (military designation, AC). It is used commercially for fumigation, electroplating, mining, chemical synthesis, and the production of synthetic fibers, plastics, dyes, and pesticides.
