better debate in my eyes would be "what are the long term effects on ingesting the residual leftover chemical remnants of some of these products?" If this is a medicinal plant, why are we adding potentially cancer causing agents to it?" "is yield the most important aspect?" and "to whom?" and "why are things on the PAN "bad actors" list (known to cause cancer) so commonly used?"
I know... it's whatever, right... I'm a dirtfoot hippie... but here in denver, since the requirements for pesticide testing have passed many many people have been shut down with an abundance of paclo and other pest/miticides... in fact, it caused this:

so again I ask...
"why are we adding cancer to a normally healthy plant on such a great and vast degree?"
"will cannabis itself soon be considered as a dangerous health risk because of the oh-so-very common practice of growers pouring a double dose of whatever bottle "hardens" the buds the best?"
food for thought... we will never see cannabis regarded in the same light as carrots at this rate.
