Myclobutanil is a fungicide that cannabis growers use to prevent mildew. Traces of it being found in oil indicate something needs to be done to prevent its usage at the growth, storage, and transport stage of the supply chain. This is probably more easily done if Marijiuana is legalized federally and heavily regulated. Given that would take an act of Congress, I fear that sweeping vaping regulation will kill the industry, robbing combustible cigarette users of a much safer alternative to nicotine delivery.

Myclobutanil is illegal for licensed grows and no one with a license would ever risk it, as it's 1) criminal and 2) would immediately invalidate their license. Unfortunately the crazy high taxes have created a robust black market where unlicensed extractors don't care about the bio-accumulation that occurs during CO2 extraction and/or cannot purge the byproducts correctly.

The distillation race was never going to end well and the next shoe to drop will certainly be on the quasi-legal CBD/hemp scams which -- if you think these tests are bad -- buckle up.

Agree - which is why I think blanket legalization with heavy federal regulation would be a best case scenario for all the reasons you point out.
