Yes it is a poison, it can go to the drinking water and foor sure you have to think before you use it and try to find alternative ways like covering in black plastic

Also, google "roundup ready corn", and you will see that it is leading to superweeds and superbugs that are resistant to Roundup.

Off soapbox!! Can't help it!!

Toxicity
Roundup has a United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxicity Class of III (on a I to IV scale, where IV is least dangerous) for oral and inhalation exposure.
It does not bioaccumulate, and breaks down rapidly in the environment.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers glyphosate to be relatively low in toxicity, and to not have carcinogenic effects.
The EPA considered a "worst case" dietary risk model of an individual eating a lifetime of food entirely from glyphosate-sprayed fields, and with residue levels remaining at their maximum levels, and concluded no adverse effects would exist under these conditions.
In 2007, the EPA selected glyphosate for further screening for endocrinal disruptor effects, not because of suspected effects, but because glyphosate is a widely used herbicide (the EPA has stated selection for screening does not itself imply risk).
