Organic foods can and usually do have pesticides, and those pesticides are just as harmful to you as the artificial ones. For instance, Rotenone was an organic pesticide used for decades that is strongly linked to parkinsons and has since been banned in North America.
Also quantity, most "organic" pesticides are significantly less effective and so it requires more applications of more product in order to get the same effect. Eating "organic" likely exposed you to more pesticides than the alternative.
