Captain's Log: Dispatches from Planet Milson

[Moe.Red]

right back to a question of interest. I could have made you $100k selling cars in the old days.

You are a natural talk show host. I love this “Milson Thinks” show concept

I would love this format.

 

[MIMedGrower]

I would love this format.

Lol. We talked about him doing a show a while back in here.


or did you want to put him to work selling thcv ?

 

[Moe.Red]

No man thcv should be free to whoever wants it.

 

[MIMedGrower]

No man thcv should be free to whoever wants it.

so should weed, seeds and clones but we have an industry to run for profit. :-)

 

[Moe.Red]

Only some of us.

 

[MIMedGrower]

Only some of us.

i was talking about the industry not us. Im a caregiver. I charge very little for very high quality meds for my patients and help any patient get started for themselves with seed or cut if i have one.

For sure! These are are on to something ......

I'm not going to rail against the capitalistic condition we find ourselves (at least is was capitalism at one point), I'm just happy things are loosening up. prior to 2018, I could not legally grow here. I'll take what I can get and let the public get served any way possible. Some people need dispensaries. I know I can't grow enough for everyone.

The very best way to consume weed is the one you have access to.

I desperately want to hurry up and get the people who are actually good at things to try to make weed work in a traditional way. My contempt for the people in this industry right now is just because they are bad at what they do, not because they are trying to make money. The demand is so pent up that even their pathetic dick trip of an attempt at supply is enough to basically print money.

Once society gets a real attempt at this, that brings us closer to the real revolution w.r.t. this plant i think.

Well, it can't be completely free without people donating and/or volunteering. But, I think if the profit was eliminated, it could get pretty close.

It will be a great day when weed is sold and traded at the farmers market. I'd gladly trade buds for fresh tomatoes.

One model that interests me is similar to the way dog breeding works.

If the law lets that model compete against a more centralized model, the dog breeder model wins every time imo.

Whole lotta puppies you can get for free.

make weed work in a traditional way.

Do you mean like people grow tomatoes in the back yard today?

Hey, let me interview you!!! I'll write out the questions (or we will collectively) and you can answer into a microphone. Podcast #1

we used to have those during our medical caregiver years. All good things come to an end with legal recreational weed.

 

[Milson]

No, i mean like big corp. Maybe Bev? Pharma? I want to see serious people try. The "big" players in the industry now are just.....

I know an attorney who handles a lot of cannabis work in Michigan (business side.....the contracts involved).

Yes, we are talking about a few million here and there...maybe you get to eight figures...but these just aren't the best and brightest.

And it shows.

@Milson , First question:

You are in charge of the US policy as it regards all cannabis. What do you implement day 1?

God forbid i ever be in charge of anything......but i think a successful policy achieves the following goals.

1. Releases any and all impediments to research at both the institutional and amateur scale.

2. Finds justice for people affected by prohibition as regards incarceration etc.

3. Educates consumers about the health and safety effects of the plant's consumption, especially mixing with other drugs such as alcohol.

4. The government stays the fuck out of your house/off your property.

5. Provides some recourse for consumers against false claims and other snake oil that have meaningful harm while still allowing products to be sold at farmer's markets etc. If you get sick from consuming weed with a bunch of pesticides on it or whatever, you should have recourse. Perhaps the loosest version of a craft brewer model?

6. Public consumption is a local issue. Private is not (same with growing....this falls under the "unless i am harming someone, stay the hell out of my house" philosophy).

I am sure I am missing something....

X2.....

 

[Moe.Red]

So it sounds as if de-criminalization and regulation over de-criminalization and de-regulation would be your choice. Basically the Holland approach? If not, can you point to another on the world stage to emulate?

 

[gorillaglueaaron]

I thought milson was supposed to be the host.
