Well, of course what they are trying to do is more about them then it is the people who wil lbe served. especially medical patients
you can't seperate 100 years of europen style imperialism/colonialization from most of todays politicians, and busnessmen men. they are naturally by habit,education,and design selfserving.
So, besdies votiing against these measures enmass; marijuana activist have to stay vigilant, and relize it'sfar easier to stop something while it's in it's infancy, rataher then wait until the average is hood winked into thinking something is good & beneficial while it is truly not when examined by a critical thinking process on the issue.
aslo the growers who now supply the dispensaries have to unite on commnon ground now or suffer, and be shut out latter. their own lamentable greed will doom them should they not wake up, and be more reasonable in how they do what they do.
news flash when you sell, anything for any reason price matters. the sacred plant is certainly no exception to this reality. some of the same folks who speak against the high cost of chemical drugs, think it's ok to sell a legit medical patient an 1/8 for for $60.
they might as well smoke blunts/cigars with the pharmaceutical whores in a plush envronment somewhere because they are not much diffrent. a price gouger is a price gouger no matter what they sell, marijuana included.
Now so far as commerical & recreational sale is concerned it's a diffrent story. you deserve to make what people are willing to pay you;but that still don't mean you should willingly, and willfully make your prices such that they are outrageous.
if you folks do this many others willoffer the same quality, and eventaully put you & your greedy ass out of business,and rightly so. imho.
whether,you sell to medical patients, or you sellt o make aliving or just to have some extra income keep the above in mind. if you ignore the above I can only qurantee you one thing in the future. REGRET, will be inevitable; and you will be at the center cause of it all !
The Sacred plant if exploited will meet it's certain demise, be it in the form of commercialized crap or worse. We have to battle smartly & together to win a war that by all rights should never have existed in the 1st. place.
finally if we fight our war like the terrorcrats fights theres ,how can wesay weare different and deserve to even partake of the sacred plant. imho the Sacred Plant isn't made for folks who are selfish assholes who don't care about others.
I HOPE THOSE OF YOU WHO FEEL THE SAME WILL DOWHAT YOU CAN WHEN YOU CAN! I Feel if that can be accomplished all of us will end uphappy and satisfied, but not at the expense of others. aloha
