WEST HAVEN, Conn. -- The microscope at the University of New Haven, set at 10-times magnification, shows a marijuana leaf covered with dozens of tiny bumps. It's mold, and someone, somewhere could be smoking similarly contaminated pot and not have a clue.

Heather Miller Coyle, a forensic botanist and associate professor at the university, says all sorts of nasty things not visible to the naked eye have been found in marijuana - mold, mildew, insect parts, salmonella and E. coli, to name a few.

That's why Coyle and her students earlier this year began developing a new process to detect contaminants in marijuana through DNA profiling and analysis. The aim is to be able to identify potentially harmful substances through a testing method that could make the analysis easier and quicker for labs across the country in the developing industry of marijuana quality control testing.

Hmmmmmmm, maybe that is why potheads are screwed up.  :mental:

The pro legal folks love to talk about how innocuous marijuana is.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Don't Amber and Chief Running Drugs sit in a sweat lodge and smoke the mold from her skin folds?

At least someone is keeping an eye on Pot and the pathogens that can be dangerous to life and limb.

Now will someone test our fruits and vegetables, imported fish and the farm raised fish.

What about the antibiotics used for chickens, beef and lamb.   

Anyone check the state of the tobacco plants.

Once the pot farms get up and running that stuff will be cleaner then a hens tooth. Much safer then bagged salad that keeps getting recalled or cantaloupe from the mid west.

Priory's you see, must keep the drugs and booze squeaky clean but a bit of e-coli in the food we feed our children is nothing to fret about.  :censored: :censored: :censored:
