It was Manufactured by Monsanto, and was used extensively in Vietnam during the latter half of the 60’s. Agent Orange was an extremely potent (and highly toxic) defoliant. What Monsanto would eventually do, would be to change it’s chemical composition before re-releasing it for public & commercial use under the name “Roundup”. Bayer Corp now owns the company, and is still producing and selling this product. In ‘78 and ‘79 (when I was using it), no one was yet aware of what the long term side affects were until a decade or so later. And, at that time, I certainly didn’t know either…

Daaaaamn you nailed it!! So YES you know whatsup lol
But ya,that sh*t made me sick to my stomach when I learned about all that. I thought what about all the agriculture!? Grew up around bunch of it in the bay area CA and even if I didn’t just our food in general!? Knew this old Nam vet that was one of my best buddies, and seeing all the cancer that just took over everywhere in his body (was sprayed w/ Agent Orange numerous times) made it that much realer & terrifying! He was strongest solid old Apache dude and just was snuffed out all of a sudden after body couldn’t take it anymore. He never made a peep all those years we had no idea the massive pain he was going through! (And the VA ignored any request to check for cancer, said it was diabetes for decades until stroke then finally after family fought staff to check boom it was already everywhere and gave 2 months to live 4 months later just gone like that)
That’s what we get for mass destroying something that is our healer nourisher & sources of life 🌿 I guess lawns & no native plants (weeds) is worth the mass cancer!
