I believe this came up because the DEA was spraying large parts of the

Was that roundup or was that paraquat?

Paraquat is quite toxic, no question about _that_


Paraquat was used on pot plants. Different deal. This was after that

Whatever we hosed down Colombian villages with, it doused humans and their
food crops.
