Lol...the only problem I see currently, once you wipe away all of the opinions, hard work and love of growing is the lack of a solid industry. That too shall solve itself in 5-10 years, IMO so not much else to do except complain or do something positive for the overall movement.
Nah, not flamin. I can take anything when put intelligently :) So, I see the presidential change happening with Obama being relected unfortunately. That would mean the same bullshit we have now, plus likely more now that he kind of started his own flame by cracking down on state policies when he vowed not to use federal funding for this type of thing. .
What would be the better (realistic) alternative to Obama? It probably depends on what your goals are and how you define "better," like it does for me. But if you support any kind of medical protection Obama is still the lesser of the evils.Nah, not flamin.

That would mean the same bullshit we have now, plus likely more now that he kind of started his own flame by cracking down on state policies when he vowed not to use federal funding for this type of thing. So, by one more full term of presidency, plus the internal fights between state officials and attorney generals (added this upcoming lobbying by bigpharm and bigtobacco who will at this time, be ready to put out a new CBD or THC/CBD drug) I think the atmosphere will keep changing and swirling with new players in the game and each one with it's own agenda. Corporate greed will keep this momentum up.
All in the meantime, there will still be boutique growers, even if we go completely illegal again this type of community will still grow MMJ, but really tasty and high quality stuff, hence there will be a market. I think that is where I will be (I hope!) and I also hope no matter what state and federal fights take place, and laws being enacted, retracted, and the ones that never make it bast ballot, this community will still be here, albeit the ones who were only in it for the money, anyway. And good riddance to them anyway.
+ rep. Well said. I agree.Freedom , Reason and Logic will in the ultimate end be throttled to it's very last dieing gasp by the coming combination of Corporatocracy and Theocracy.
Therefore there is a need for growers to come out of their caves, get educated on the issues, and get on board with the idea of banding together to form some type of union so we aren't getting railroaded by dispensaries and politicians. Yeah logistically this sounds impossible, and I'm not smart enough to come up with any specific ideas on how to get it going. But I wish somebody smarter than myself would figure it out soon!
.
Yeah, we do need a Union.
As to elections, I see NO good candidate right now. Notta one, and yet I don't see how I can drive myself to the ballot box and revote Obamma. Sorely disappointed.
Oh, and I am up for hire. Getting out of the rat race. Want a grower job closeby...send a PM if anyone is in need. I'm a good girl with good references! But..don't want to grow unethically or for, say, a college community.
Hey brother I'm feelin' ya. My normal hook-up had a burp and I've been making my first cold calls in a few years. They all want samples. One delivery guy came by, I poured some out to "show" him a sample and the little fucker put a nice nuggie in his pocket, said he'd call me tomorrow and never heard back. That was my first taste o fthe bullshit you are describing.
Did hookup w/ some good people, got the price I asked, but definitely did a couple of tap dance/ horse and pony shows along the way. Fuuuck.

A week later they got in some "White Kush" and when i ask they tell me its a "kush cross..."
WTF WTF WTF. I'd be going back in there to have a word...
Refer back to what happened with my Blue Cheese. They'll throw " Kush" and "OG" on anything to sell it. Including cuts of nebulous origin. And that last is screwing up the genetic pool.
Why bother going back? I mean it's only going to irritate you , it's unlikely to get you anywhere.
I go back because in reality that collective has the highest quality meds. Even though they dick people around (they pay up front after a g sample if they want it, no consignment) and re name some of the most fire strains out right now I still need good meds...tested ones too. Only club around me that has over 85% of its meds in house tested before they hit the shelves.
But i mean WHY! Why would you ruin "The White"? Its perfect and the name is badass! Fuck this "kush" craze....Seriously.
You are indeed preaching to the choir on that last. As for personal , that's in the end why I do this , so I can look in my cabinet and have a choice of a multitude of strains depending on whim/mood and know what's in it and how it was grown. I'm kind of picky about what I smoke and the dispensaries hereabouts leave quite a bit to be desired.
I view the fads with a jaundiced eye , course this year it'll be Girl Scout Cookies , Cherry Pie and Sonoma Coma along with the usual round of "new OGs"...............screw it , I grow what I like to smoke for the most part.
