You're right. Living in fear is a good way to protect yourself. Up to a point. :thumbsup:

But you are not going to be able to grow cannabis without some form of nutrients, most of which contain trace elements necessary for plant growth and development. (if not, we add them) Quite a few of us in here are dealing with a compromised immune system, but unless you are drinking the stuff straight or bathing in it, doubtful there will be an issue. (have never heard of one) Did you know there are toxins in organic products, too? fish with mercury, bisphenol-A, (an organic can liner in canned foods) Some animal products might contain trace amounts of harmful contaminants like polybrominated diphenyl ethers, polychlorinated biphenyl and dioxins, How inorganics we consume daily...? like aspartame and other artificial sweetners?

I'm not a doctor, and would never assume to offer medical advise. But, one can go overboard with having an over-abundance of caution. Do you believe that if there has ever been evidence to the contrary we'd hide it from you? Were you talking steroidal or hormonal additives, or silver thilosulphate I'd tend to agree with your caution, since gardeners often have direct exposure, (skin contact) and the ability to overdose thier plants with the stuff, and raising the concentration levels within the plant to potentially toxic levels. (not proven, but I'll avoid smoking hormones, thank-you)

Do you smoke cannabis? Have you had these concerns all along? When purchasing your schwag off the street, did you grill your connect as to it's contents?

Again...sorry about your brother, but his story has no place here, as that's all it is...a story. Not a shread of proof one way or the other. It's like saying my 8 year old second cousin died from cancer because of her mom's new boyfriends second hand smoke. (except for the fact that she had cancer years before her mom met the dickhead)

Might be time to relax, and un-pucker. (nobody lives forever) :jointsmile:
