Kootenainatural = low class
This is the kinda vibe you send out man.....hell You don't even know Kootenai! and yet you express opinion and judgements....I have met the guy....you have no idea what he brings to the scene.....too bad you have already set your judgement on a stand up person especially a fellow farmer.
Marijuana is fully prohibited under federal law. There is nothing legal about medical marijuana, and you should be scared.
I too believe in growing the best Marijuana I can possibly produce, and I put my product to the test every time I let patients sample before buying, and every time I send them out the door with a jar of dank. I don't run a public business. I don't advertise in any way. Yet, cards keep showing up in the mail for me, so I must be doing something right. The only recognition I care about is that given to me by my patients.
No, you should not hang your head in shame. Suggesting it is ok to have a big pot party because pharmaceutical companies have events when products are launched is silly. Are they your role models? And not everything they make is poison. You seem to harbor general hatred toward drug companies. No doubt they are involved in sketchy dealings, but they also produce life saving drugs and devices.
I wasn't trying to start beef or anything. I was just expressing my opinion that I think a Growers Cup, or Montana Cannabis Cup, or the like is not in the best interest of the Medical Marijuana Movement. An opinion I'm entitled to, and one I still hold.
Like I said in my first post. Have fun at your event.
We are fully aware of the Fedral Law....I am pretty sure we were all aware when we started. As for me I am not so much scared as I am hopeful, but be honest we all know the severity of the issue. If you are that scared then maybe you entered into the wrong career field. I think choosing to be a caregiver brings on a lot of responsibility....part of that being able to step up and speak out when it is needed....not to hang your head in shame or fear because of public opinion or scrutiny. Don't get me wrong I am a family man, but I love the fact that I have some protection to speak out, about what I have always believed. I don't have to hide anymore....this is where we are supposed to come up from the underground and show we are stand up community members too.
I will not knock your skill man ....hell I don't even brag about my skills.... Yet you talk about putting out the best product. What the hell do you think we are doing? We are talking about gathering knowledgable growers together to see who has the better skills. Man we all might learn something, sharing the knowledge will bring us together. We all want our patients to be happy when they walk out the door. I am concerned though....what do you mean you are not a public business? You are caregiving RIGHT? Are you UNDERGROUND? I ask these questions because if you are expressing such heavy opinions about support for the cause. I would hope you have things in place like a business license and legit dispensing location....this would be a stab in the back of the MMJ movement if you don't.
As far as you saying the cards keep rolling in....WOW...didn't think you were into competitions. Not one other caregiver is on here bragging about their patients.......hmmmm! Most of us bragging about our product....and if the stab at cards was to show the qaulity of your product...I missed it! Present your product and earn the bragging rights like we are trying to do. Even in Highschool jocks bit off more than they could support usually....grow up! I'll put my product upto anybody's...I am not ashamed...I am not scared! As matter of fact.... if I lose in this event...I hope I can learn something from the winners, if they would grant me the knowledge. I'm an open person like that though, and am ok with somebody being better...I would just wanna learn...it's called growth!
As far as Drug companies having a get together....hell they were just giving you an example of how this should be acceptable in the real world environment. What the hell yo! and as for my opinion yes the drug comapines do make some life saving products....but they make more useless products to get your money. The drug companies buy companies that make key ingredients as to corner a market. They are not in it for the people, but for the money....their BIG BUSINESS.
You may not have wanted to start beef, but you did ... you expressed your opinion and yet you could not take the critisizm of others. Did your mom ever tell you anything like..."treat others the way you want to be treated"....or " don't say anything if it's not nice". Obviously you thought you were only expressing opinion, but that led to people being offended..follow...so..why did you even throw something out in this thread?
I express an opinion in a cordial way, and even end my initial post with a friendly wish for you all to have fun (I was actually being sincere) , and then get slammed because I don't agree with you "big time" growers. Whatever dude.
Grammar and punctuation, and in this case spelling as well, are always important. You can't engage in debate if you can't communicate.
Maybe you meant it in a cordial way...but you also ended it with I am too damn busy anyhow. So again if you were too busy to do it....why express unnecessary opinion? You obviously were never going to go....so what does your opinion count for. Almost like you came on the scene with a chip on your shoulder because you were too busy.
Communication....whew...I think it was kindergarten...yeah...my teacher said if I wasn't sure of a word sound it out....very easy to sound things out even spelled incorrectly to get an idea.
Have your secret cup. Sounds awesome.
I know when voting day was.
The biggest caregivers are the sketchiest. That is why patients continue to leave places like MPM, Sweetwater, Zoo Mtn., etc.. and find a private caregiver like me.
I don't know anything about any groups you are involved with. I was using the word "you" generically.
Again, have fun at your party.
See there again.....Have your secret cup
Are you upset because you weren't cordially invited? I will invite you man...I will take you as my guest. Present your product...present your argument...hell maybe I will sign you as my caregiver...but let the product speak for itself!
Big Time Growers....haha...I am a Mom and Pop shop and consider myself a big time grower...hell where is your confidence man! as for me I take it as an insult to be put me in the same category as money lined pocket dispenaries.
