The LD50 is 2000mg/kg in that example. To extrapolate that’s like 140 grams of spinosad for a 150 lb person. Dead Bug Brew is only .5% spinosad. Per the label .04 lbs/gal of spinosad. That’s 18 grams per gallon.
So how many gallons of dead bug brew is the lethal dose fir 50% of the population. Almost 4 gallons for 150 pound person.
Additionally it was only the acute dermal for rabbits. It goes to state virtually non toxic.
So back to the question at hand, why is effectually banned for cannabis???

I completely agree. I had a whole thread on this and stated its so minuscule that I'm gonna keep using it.

Spinosad is in oral flea medication for cats and dogs. The dose which lasts a month doesn't come anywhere near 2000mg. The spray is way less compared to the oral dose people give their pets.

i find pyrethrins to be safe and fine. everything for plant use is toxic to humans cause its for plants not humans. get that out of the way. anyways has anyone seen that its been made illegal to use pyrethrins casue of a label change? anyone else heard of this?
