Weird malathion on cannabis story

https://www.kob.com/new-mexico/new-mexico-cannabis-manufacturer-files-lawsuit-against-cannabis-control-division/

Can’t make this up. State does not test cannabis for Malathion as Malathion is illegal in NM. So you can sue the state because your cannabis crop passed the state pesticide test even though it was sprayed with malathion. Only mention this because in the 90’s the state sometimes sprayed malathion for mosquitoes out of a truck down the streets & malathion can cause reactive airway disease causing trouble breathing among other side effects

Iran Says the Deadly Israeli Strike in Damascus Will Not Go Unanswered

As war escalates, many worry for our troops.

“Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, said Israel would be punished for the strike, which killed three top commanders.

The strike, on part of the Iranian Embassy complex in Damascus, killed three generals in Iran’s Quds Force and four other officers, making it one of the deadliest attacks of the yearslong shadow war between Israel and Iran.

In a statement, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, vowed that Israel would be “punished by the hands of our brave men.”
President Ebrahim Raisi of Iran said the attack was an “inhumane assault in brazen violation of international law,” in comments reported by Tasnim, a semiofficial news agency. He added that it would not go unanswered, but gave no details of how Iran might respond.“

World Central Kitchen Says U.S. Citizen Among 7 Staff Killed in 'Targeted' Triple Israeli Attack

A dual U.S.-Canadian citizen was among seven food aid workers killed in an Israeli military strike on a humanitarian convoy in Gaza, the World Central Kitchen said Tuesday.

Haaretz reported that the convoy of vehicles, which had coordinated its route through a demilitarized zone with the Israel Defense Forces, was hit three times in succession until the aid workers were all killed. After the first strike, survivors reportedly sought shelter in the other vehicles which were then targeted.

The attack late Monday, which the IDF says is being investigated, struck as the vehicles were leaving a warehouse in central Gaza, WCK said in a statement. The food charity founded by celebrity chef José Andrés said its other staff members killed in the strike were from Australia, the United Kingdom, and Poland. https://www.yahoo.com/news/world-central-kitchen-says-u-113228149.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKeUX_qtmh8WrqxlnZZ-8IeDB11-Im7BNda1xrkK17LwOqVyhyQVVw5DF4wnfqqceDF6ouxMNRdZemBFpSV9isQii5ijcQF5NZgob9g6tUk51_czR_YEobLx7TnKEilyCigwvTqEYxRfHtD5ByUD35UdlM9CIIWX8ADhLSnnO-njNo
