Dangerous blaze? New Mexico recalls marijuana due to pesticide use

(The Center Square) - The New Mexico Cannabis Control Division recently issued a consumer health and safety advisory after seeing that cannabis flower purchased in the state tested positive for a prohibited pesticide. Some of the weed is likely to have been already smoked as some products were delivered as long ago as March.

WH Agriculture, LLC DBA Maggie’s Farm, distributed the contaminated products to pot shops between March 6, 2024, and August 1, 2024.

All of these shops have been ordered by the state to remove these products from the market.

"The CCD is committed to protecting public health and safety by ensuring that all cannabis products comply with state regulations," a press release from the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department said. "This advisory includes cannabis products that tested positive for pyrethrins. Inhaling pyrethrins can irritate the nose and throat and cause difficulty breathing, vomiting, and diarrhea.

The following list shows the contaminated products, including package ID numbers, from this report, according to the release:
