Salutations,

Ever wondered about "legal" sprays which only "chemophobics" are supposed to fear?...

🤫

Well i thought i'd never find a clue as i somehow happen to have forgotten the magic spell that once used to take me right on spot, just a few years ago.

Now please appreciate how such quest actually preformed when i tried this afternoon...
Google Images: "Health-Canada" "Pest Control Products"

Canada.ca - Santé - Sécurité des produits - Produits de consommation et cosmétiques - Pesticides et lutte antiparasitaire
Same infantilizing cartoon in english - that's sort of reassuring! 😇
Pesticides in Canada
Canada.ca - Health - Product safety - Consumer Product Safety - Pesticides and Pest Management
All pesticides used in Canada must meet the requirements of the Pest Control Products Act and its regulations. Find out how Health Canada regulates pesticides, how you can get involved, and pest control tips for common home and garden pests and weeds.​

Beware, i 1st had to check for occurences of some "grow" characters string instead of mentions about canna/mari. 🔬🔭

More information for --> Growers and Commercial Users --> Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) --> Pest Control Products Act and Regulations

Pesticide Label Search - Health Canada
pr-rp.hc-sc.gc.ca
Aug. 28, 2019 — Database of pesticide product information from Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency.

Hence when in despair quickly go to WikiPedia!! --> [ https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pest_Management_Regulatory_Agency ]

Only to find NO mentions of canna/mari once again! 😴

By chance we manage to obtain some nice informative reading in exchange for the time & efforts spent on such inquiry...

Pesticides are substances that are meant to control pests.

The term pesticide includes all of the following: herbicide, insecticides (which may include insect growth regulators, termiticides, etc.), nematicide, molluscicide, piscicide, avicide, rodenticide, bactericide, insect repellent, animal repellent, antimicrobial, and fungicide. The most common of these are herbicides which account for approximately 80% of all pesticide use.

Most pesticides are intended to serve as plant protection products (also known as crop protection products), which in general, protect plants from weeds, fungi, or insects. As an example - The fungus Alternaria is used to combat the Aquatic weed, Salvinia.


In general, a pesticide is a chemical (such as carbamate) or biological agent (such as a virus, bacterium, or fungus) that deters, incapacitates, kills, or otherwise discourages pests. Target pests can include insects, plant pathogens, weeds, molluscs, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes (roundworms), and microbes that destroy property, cause nuisance, or spread disease, or are disease vectors. Along with these benefits, pesticides also have drawbacks, such as potential toxicity to humans and other species.

So, where are long-term studies on the "potential toxicity to humans" chronically exposed to savvy non-detection PCP soups? To put it shortly... Is it safe to bet that other type of search would feel even more overwhelming?? Or is it even worth a try?...

While wondering about these riddles some worrysome feeling still won't vanish as i keep thinking that systematic determination of a non-detection concentration level for every single item of H.-C.'s PCP list paves the way to designer sprays composed of multiple non-detection PCPs, each item still conform to regulations, although ONLY individual concentration levels are being defined by each of the listed non-detection threshold. Basically, what's stopping LPs from building their own non-detection catalog(s)?? One serious Public health issue being that as for pharmacists accounting for interaction(s) between multiple drugs any eventual PCP "trace" effects can/must be expected to multiply, not just add up - which would still represent excessive/unwanted contamination in the apparent absence of long-term studies anyway!

⚠️

In any case, despite all my efforts, i yet needed to look further in hope to find some PCP list. ... A couple Back 'n Forth movements later my search field changed to "Pesticide Product Information Database (PPID) API Guide"

Then bingo! 😲

Ah, and that's a grand total of 96 PCPs. Finally!

🤔 ...

So how many compatible synergy-boosting combinations does this catalog allow at least in principle and then what sort of laboratory resource$$$ would be involved just to verify/confirm compliance to these detection levels exactly?

And more importantly, which PCPs CANNOT penetrate trichome glands??? Because in the end that's all "Stoner$"/"Droÿé$" should really care about, right?...

Well, provided it can be flushed away in good time!

🥴

Good day, have fun!! ☮️

The list of pest control products is quite long. Unfortunately, not all products are effective. We use pesticides to control pests of fruits and vegetables. In addition, some pests prevent us from being outdoors - these are various insects. In the summer, we do quite a lot of pest control activities. We order the services of the company https://enviropcs.com.au/. This company conducts environmentally friendly pest control procedures. Their actions are very effective. I like that they use a variety of pest control products, not just pesticides. We have to take care of the environment.

I can say first hand, the CG uses whatever it needs too on cannabis.

Small craft growers usually don't use synthetic salts or PC.

I use plants found in nature, and terpene mixtures, but I've rarely used terpene mixtures as I haven't had too
