Literally, a human buzzkill, as Paraquat is used to kill Marijuana thus literally killing potential buzz.
The Dude: You thought that Bunny had been kidnapped and you were fucking glad man. You could use it as an excuse to make some money disappear. All you needed was a sap to in it on, and you'd just met me. You...you...human paraquat!

In the 1960s, the Government sponsored a program called "Paraquat Pot" in which they sprayed the very harmful herbicide paraquat on marijuana fields in South America, which were distributed mostly to Americans. It was called Paraquat Pot.
Yeah, we used to smoke that paraquat pot back in the 60s. They just don't make it like they used to.

Urban legend. Smoking marijuana sprayed with paraquat has no ill effects. The myth was propagated by anti-drug activists to deter the smoking of pot in general.
Gullible Moron: Oh shit, I hope I don't have the paraquat lung from this shwagg
Enlightened Skeptic: Don't worry, that's just a myth constructed by the fascists and religious fundamentalists who want to legislate morality.

Lung disease caused by the contact herbicide paraquat which selectively accumulates in the lungs and is highly toxic. Once X-rays show changes from paraquat are evident in the lungs, death is virtually certain.
Paraquat lung emerged as a health concern in the 1970s, when the US government sprayed paraquat aerially over some illegal marijuana fields in Mexico. Some of the sprayed plants were harvasted prematurely before they died, causing paraquat lung in purchasers who smoked it.
