Im not for sure why you would think we wanted the price of cannabis to come down?We don't ever intend on buying it anyway... We teach ppl to be self sufficient..not rely on government hacks, lawyers, and other special interest groups. From what I heard, they were all for recreational, and all them sells they were gonna get, then they seen home grows doing its thing, and now , ya we still want recreational, but its unsafe for home grows... All bs! Nobody cares for the little guys, and why should they, we all listen to the same radio station, WIIFM WHATS IN IT FOR METhe price of cannabis, especially at the wholesale level, dropped precipitously after legalization in Colorado. I expect the same to happen nationally.
What speeds up drug reform is not attaching our middle class to the drug war... if We dont have a drug war... we lose a ton of middle class jobs. Everyone from cops to cps piss testers would be out of work. Its easier to keep a drug war going rather than retrain and relocate hundreds of thousands of ppl... and our new pres doesnt need a 40% unemployment rate hahahaRespectfully, I am interested to hear the opinions of the community about the pace of federal law reform. What could be done to speed up change? We created a fundraising tool, and we'll need to hear from you in regards to spending other people's money. We are using story to connect folks in our community and empower them, as a citizen's lobby, to make a push for change now. May I present the tool to the community here for discussion?
Im glad im not the only one that sees a shit show anywhere we turn. If its not one agency doing the screwing... its the next gov agency. ... i think the gov might be the problem in our world.. seems to be a pattern hahahaHere's my issue with Legalization at the Federal level. Specifically, a rescheduling; which is prolly the best that can be hoped for.
With a rescheduling comes even more government regulation. For instance, if cannibas is rescheduled then a whole new era of criminalization of the plant will happen. Although the DEA will no longer have control...Big Pharma will; directly through the FDA and ATF.
Meaning states will no longer have control of their medical programs or recreational use.
It will all be controlled by the federal government and all the progress that has been made towards legalization especially in the last decade will be lost.
Call me paranoid or whatever but that's what I see happening. Colorado was considered the testing ground and we are already losing freedoms that we had just a few years ago.
Don't get me wrong. Regulation is good for the health of the users and unfortunately it's not possible to let growers control the quality itself regarding fungus and pesticides.
So, my point, is marijuana legalization and regulation need to remain issues of individual states with NO federal government involvement.
