Ashnikko - Possession of a Weapon (MV)
Say you want my body, let me give it to you
Is that what you want, blood and guts?
Pussy teeth to imprison you
Little pills
I don’t wanna get high
I feel an ache where my mind was
I try to think but it’s no use
Tumbleweed, bloody knees
I would crawl through broken glass
to get home
Banned in 67 countries and linked to Parkinson’s disease, paraquat is facing calls for stricter regulation. Yet, Australia’s cotton industry body is urging authorities to maintain current rules. The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has been reviewing this controversial weedkiller for 27 years.

‘Disturbing’: #weedkiller ingredient tied to #cancer found in 80% of US urine samples
CDC study finds #glyphosate, controversial ingredient found in weedkillers including popular #Roundup brand, present in samples
by Carey Gillam

"The health impacts of glyphosate are disputed and the CDC report makes no observation about what the detected levels mean in terms of human health outcomes. However, its work comes at a time of mounting concerns and controversy over how #pesticides in #food and #water impact human and #environmental health.
"Both the amount and prevalence of glyphosate found in human urine has been rising steadily since the 1990s when #Monsanto Co. introduced genetically engineered crops designed to be sprayed directly with Roundup, according to research published in 2017 by University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers.
"Paul Mills, the lead researcher of that study, said at the time there was 'an urgent need' for a thorough examination of the impact on human health from glyphosate in foods people commonly consume.
"More than 200 million pounds of glyphosate are used annually by #US #farmers on their fields. The weedkiller is sprayed directly over genetically engineered crops such as #corn and #soybeans, and also over non-genetically engineered crops such as #wheat and #oats as a desiccant to dry crops out prior to harvest. Many farmers also use it on fields before the growing season, including #spinach growers and #almond producers. It is considered the most widely used herbicide in history.
"Residues of glyphosate have been documented in an array of popular foods made with crops sprayed with glyphosate, including #BabyFood The primary route of exposure for #children is through the diet."
