Unless you are growing your own, you have no idea what pesticides (radioactive or not) are used to grow your weed. I trust Mexican drug cartels about as much as corporate tobacco growers with keeping my health as a priority.
Isn't this just another reason to legalize it? The same happened with tainted alcohol during it's prohibition.

Putting a patent on a weed is not simple, that's why they won't legalize it. But if the prohibition just plain didn't exist, people could grow their own. Cannabis grows as easily as tomatoes and can be harvested more frequently.
