Thats the thing bro, NO ONE is getting harassed over it! No real patients with the right to MMJ are getting fucked with and taken to court. Who is getting harassed bro? THE SAME ONES YOU DON'T LIKE- Not the patients, the business owners and people on the business side of things. I mean cough cough denver and numerous counties have 12 plant resi limits....
And how is this different than ANY other industry? IMO most see it for what it is- a system that was inevitably bound for where it's currently at....it was predicted, there were no surprises. We called most of this shit from the beginning. Do you think Cali and every other med state doesn't face these problems and just move on and deal with things? Do you think Colorado is the ONLY state with DUMBASS county commissioners, politicians and city councils? There are counties and cities all over MMJ states with stupid politics that try to encumber anyone in the industry (again by industry I mean patients/mmcs/anyone who has any involvement with pot in CO or USA for that matter)- that are always, limiting plant counts, saying who can grow, saying who can't, where they can grow, who gets arrested and who gets fined. What does it boil down to? If you are a legit patient you don't have any concerns, and if you aren't a patient- get a lawyer IF it ever comes to it and you won't have any concerns. Maybe I know too many folks in Cali and the normal shit they have dealt with over the last umm...15 years in this industry? The "scares" and "tactics" brought on by not only LEO but locals and city councils too. the stupid politicians limiting things etc...you are right though it does take someone threatening them to get it dropped or made more realistic and in some cases it has taken real patients to go to court and prove necessity and set precedent. But again we are not seeing that happen anywhere out here because the ones with reason to react are the biz people and they don't wanna invest that time/$$ in proving a legitimate point if they are jsut gonna be shutdown over something else anyways.
I just don't understand why folks get so upset over stupid peoples with narrow mindset/ignorance making pretty much a typical and expected reaction to something normal. We all know weed is normal, safe, perfectly fine etc- so why blame the people here that know this and act accordingly? Why not blame the dumbass that HAVE NO knowledge and are 100% reactionary instead of responsible? Bitch at the politicians, not the patients who in 80-90% of the situations are not abusing/flaunting/ or hell even growing for that matter. These reactions are because of mmc's not growers/patients. And mmcs as evidenced will be there whether they have business or not. lol.
You may be pissed about the number of patients now, the MMC's, and bs in your local but you fail to acknowledge how many good people who can qualify are now patients and thanks to mmcs (like it or not) have access to medicine legally in some way shape or form that previously never did. What about those 100k+ people that don't grow but are more adversely affecting your situation? I mean seriously, the laws they are changing aren't because of home grows, they are just fear based reactions to mmc's and ops in smaller towns/counties.
There are no open statistics I'm sure, but many would be amazed at the number of adult patients in the system...its not all kids and growers- and people need to realize just because a couple thousand young adults go to some shows - thats it not representative of anything other than the fact that JUST LIKE MUSIC, youth are probably the only ones actually goin out or showing in public.
