I remember when reagan had pot fields sprayed with paraquat in mexico so that smokers would get the poison in them in the 70's.. Luckily, I was not a partaker in those days, and no one I know bought much mexican commercial since we were farm kids and it is so easy to grow. This is part of the war on drugs was downright nasty.


Paraquat Pot: The True Story Of How The US Government Tried To Kill Weed Smokers With A Toxic Chemical In The 1980s

By Jerome London

The chemical, known as “paraquat,” is an herbicide sprayed over marijuana fields in Mexico in the 1970s—with the aid of US money and US-provided helicopters—and over marijuana fields in Georgia in the 1980s under the direction of the Reagan Administration.

But normally, anything poisonous enough to kill plants is also toxic enough to kill humans, and that is the case with paraquat.
