Sometimes when I've smoke tobacco after smoking some weed, I noticed their was a strange synergistic high. This can happen sometimes up to a few days after the last time I've been blazed. I wondered if this could be due to some pesticideds in the bud. A lot of pesticides act on the cholinergic system, like tobacco.

Another thing is that some people have had bizzare reactions when they've used weed and certain drugs broken down by the enzyme chlolinesterase, like tricyclics and cocaine. Many pesticides block this enzyme.

Anyway, I was wondering if the pesticides in weed (especially mexican brick) are responsible for some of the BAD side effects some people attribute to weed, like memory loss or psychosis.

Memory is short-term. Long-term memory loss, that's due to pestisides. Psychosis can be caused by pestiside, but more than likely, since Marijuana is a mild hallucinogen, it can cause an episode, and even trigger an entire mental **** up. BUT! This can only happen if you are crazy, and it hasn't been triggered yet.

Another great reason to grow your own!

Yeah, I definitely think I've smoked pesticide laden buds in the past, I reached this conclusion, not due to memory loss or psychosis, but that I felt really really nauseous, and got a head ache. Sadly due to the illegality of marijuana, and it's blackmarket value, unscrupulous people do grow it for profit rather than because they value it. If spider mites look like desecrating their cashcrop, they'll spray, just look at some of the threads in HC to see how hard it is to beat the bugs organically. Best to grow your own, or know your grower. Fortunately it seems most growers are herb connoisseurs, who wouldn't dream of using pesticides. Unscrupulous pesticide wielding greed growers are definitely in the minority, in Oz at least, dunno about Mexico though.

I don't even use pesticide on my tomatoes and peppers. I just think that non-organic or even organic stuff, even Miracle-grow, is wrong. I don't use jack **** on my plants because...well, that's just me.
