Exerpt from a KPIX-5 report titled in February of 2017
Bay Area Medicinal Marijuana Tests Positive For Toxic Fungicide
Myclobutanil. It’s a fungicide, often sold under the name Eagle 20.
It is approved for use on things like grapes and hops because if humans happen to eat some of it, it is considered harmless.
“If you smoke it, if you heat it,” Land explains, “it produces a chemical call hydrogen cyanide. It’s very toxic to humans.”
In a statement to KPIX 5, Dow AgroSciences — the manufacturer of Eagle 20 — said the fungicide has not been approved for and should not be used on marijuana.
“Dow AgroSciences, without exception, will not seek regulatory approvals or support the use of its products on marijuana,” the statement read. “Eagle 20 is not approved for use nor should it be used under any circumstances on marijuana.”
Please don't use this stuff on anything that you're going to smoke.
If my boss required me to use this stuff, or anything like it - I would quit and report.
I don't believe in ratting people out ... but, I feel even more strongly about killing people.
