Even though Marijuana has been legalized in 28 states, some still chose to grow and sell illegally. That being said, for those that purchase marijuana, purchase it through registered sources. A recent article published by the Washington Post found that many illegal pot growers are using Gatorade bottles to harvest a dangerous insecticide called carbofuran. These chemicals are killing animals, lingering in the soil and threatening to contaminate towns’ water supplies. Growers are using the chemical to kill insects and protect their crop, when in actuality the pesticides used threatens surrounding plant and animal life, while also harming the individual that ingests the drug. The solution to this problem is tough. Even after legalization, it is still difficult for the government to regulate the sale of weed, however, this chemical can only be produced in forest areas, which means that if park rangers constantly monitor the grounds, they can help eliminate the issue.
