Are you trying to say what doesn't kill you can't be harmful?

Any amount of lead harms you, it also doesn't get filtered out from your body since it confuses it with calcium.

Crops grown with lead contaminated water is unsafe by default.

I am never said that....I have never disagreed with the deadliness of lead. It is out there in more quantities than we think, even naturally.

I am just asking the question of background, nothing more....

Ok so heres the thing, there are literally hundreds, if not thousands of city's in the usa that have dangerous levels of lead in their water supply. Flint gets the attention because it was the direct result of a government agency changing the source of its water and then failing to do ANYTHING once they realized the water was bad. The reason the other places don't get attention is because they are from old, faulty infrastructure and tend to be in the poorer areas of the citys that the ultra rich and corporations have no interest in spending money on to fix. So in those areas the media just refuses to talk about it to keep their investors, sponsors and friends happy and rich

Can you smoke it, yes, would I, no. But then again I didn't spend months growing it either. On that same note I would've scrapped the grow and started over using only bottles water once the news broke of the lead in the water.

The lead in the water is from the infrastructure, unsafe conditions in the water caused lead to leach out of old pipes and into the water....


I threw all my shit out from Flint. I'm not risking it...

I had a tray of 18x GG4 and Gorilla Fuck and I tossed em.


@OP why don't you just make hash? The resin glands are likely fine, I just wouldn't be comfortable with combusting those plants and inhaling that smoke...

Sorry guys but this isn't really a laughing matter and it's happening in my state. When they switched to the flint river there was a huge spike in Legionaries disease and 10 people died,health professionals told the state it was caused from the Flint river,the state tried to cover it up. Countless thousands of children have been lead poisoned and that can't be treated,the state tried to cover that up. While they were denying everything a year ago the state was trucking water into the state buildings in Flint and letting poor people and children drink this poison. The state was warned about the river quality years ago and that the Flint water treatment plant was not capable of treating the water and they ignored it. The DWB told the state they would give Flint a large discount to stay with their good water supply. I'm convinced this was all about greed and nothing else. The state was going to get water from a new source but a new pipeline has to be built so they thought no one would notice the bad water while they built the new pipeline. I'm sure the new company building and supplying the new water source paid the Governor and his cronies a lot of money to make this switch and thought they could line their pockets and fuck the public,these people belong in prison.

My wife's from Muskegon and we have family there. I know it's not a laughing matter. Michigan's a great place and the people are the salt of the earth. My heart goes out to you.

They knew the Flint river water was bad and that the treatment plant was not capable of treating it many years ago and it's documented. Flint used to be a major manufacturing city and General Motors had a huge presence there years ago,GM tried using the flint river as a water source for use in their plants and they stopped using it because the water was so bad it corroded anything it was in contact with.

I spent my childhood years on a lake that drained into the Flint river system and the river was filthy and stank back then,50 years ago.
