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.
