Cartel Marijuana Operations Use EPA-Banned Nerve Agent That Kills Wildlife and Endangers Humans

What was said

"The US Fish and Wildlife Service had a monetary value of $35,000 to $40,000 per steelhead trout. These guys take that stuff, take it to send in a water bottle and mix it up and shake it, or put half of a whole container inside a backpack sprayer with 6 gallons of water, and they're hosing down marijuana plants. If a black bear comes in, licks a drop of that stuff in tuna oil, 15 minutes, this 400-pound black bear frothing at the mouth, central nervous system seizes. They're done."

Nores revealed that cartel growers are using EPA-banned nerve agent insecticides like carbofuran on marijuana crops in concentrated, undiluted doses. The toxins kill endangered wildlife including bears and fish, and exposure has left law enforcement officers temporarily blind or seriously ill. The growers call the poison 'El Diablo' and knowingly apply it despite its lethality, creating a public health crisis as the contaminated marijuana enters the black market across the United States.
