I’m not sure if I follow what you’re saying. My point was that regulation doesn’t necessarily decrease pesticide use or make it safer, unless they’re actually testing for residues for all of those at zero. The situation with conventional commercial agriculture – pesticides that cause clear harm to children being permitted, or phased out over years when they are discontinued – is the reason I think that. As much as i hate to say it, organic isn’t necessarily safer, either. The pesticide implicated in a cannabis hyperemesis, neem and derivatives, is organic.
