Ziggy Marley
Ziggy Marley wants you to be careful about the weed you smoke.
Markey published a letter April 2018 telling
consumers to watch out for pesticides in weed and advising businesses
not to put profit over health.
“As marijuana becomes industrialized, we need to
stay vigilant about the way companies use harmful pesticides to maximize
and safeguard their financial investments,” he stated.
He also compared the expanding weed industry to
business sectors that have grown so large, that the welfare of consumers
have become secondary:
“We are extremely cautious about what we put into
our bodies when it comes to produce, and we much use the same scrutiny
when it comes to the consumption of cannabis.”
Without naming names, Marley called out industry
leaders who don’t address pesticides in the weed they sell. He said if
he doesn’t know where the weed is from, he won’t smoke.
In light of this, he posed 2 solutions: companies be
honest about the usage of pesticides in weed, or people grow their own
stuff at home.
“There is no better time to act than now,” he
stated. “We must hold this emerging industry responsible from the start.
We cannot wait until it becomes more established, because by that time,
it will be too late.”
