Old post, but...
I've never heard of anyone having gotten sick or dying as a result of using the stuff, so I doubt it's a concern.

Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . Botanicare Sweet a poison??? The arsenic levels in Botanicare Sweet are 38, while acceptable levels for human consumption in drinking water is 5 or less. IMO I would not use this product. The arsenic PPM is 10 times higher than most of the products I find MJ growers using, the only thing that I have found that comes even close is some of the Alaska fish ferts which are still no higher than 9 while many products from GH are les than 3. This may make a person think twice about the so called all organic products. Details for Rating: 5
