Doctors usually take graft from the Big Pharm , and they would do it with weed too if they had the chance..IMOThe question of who should lead the weed industry isn’t just about professional fields. The final—and arguably most important—piece of the puzzle is ensuring that the cannabis industry is as diverse as the population of people who actually consume weed. To put it simply, that means ensuring that the industry isn’t taken over by rich white men.
But unfortunately, this is already happening. A recent survey of cannabis business owners found that 81 percent of all marijuana business owners are white. And that number probably fails to reflect how white-dominated the industry really is. That’s because the survey counts a person with “any ownership stake in a business, not necessarily a controlling stake” as an “owner.” As a result, a company in which only 10 percent is owned by a black person and 90 percent is owned by white people would still register in the survey as a business with a black owner. Similarly, the cannabis industry appears to be going through some troubling changes when it comes to gender. Recent stats show that in 2015, 36 percent of all cannabis businesses had women executives. Last year, that number had fallen to 26.9 percent.
Fortunately, even 2017’s lower number is still higher than the number of women executives across all U.S. businesses, which is around 23 percent. But it is not a good sign that the percentage of women-run weed businesses has dropped so dramatically. So, who should run the cannabis industry? Anybody and everybody. People of all demographics and professions use weed. And the industry should reflect that diversity. Otherwise, we will waste the revolutionary potential of cannabis. And rich white men will turn weed into just another commodity to make them richer.
I agree. I have a med card because I had knee surgery 10 years ago. Lol but I’m here just getting high. Some of these guys brainwash themselves into believing they are medicating because it sounds better and more accepted.My weed isn't medical, I like to get high. If you are "medicating" before you sit down to watch a movie/play a video game/eat some Oreos then you are just getting high...and that's fine. It doesn't need a fake ass cover story.
.
I’m high 24/7 so everyone else can put up with me:D especially my wife.Nah..I have an MMJ so I can grow 12 plants instead of six..(six without a card) Nevada..
I love getting high..I need to stay medicated )(High) 24x7 to avoid the pain..went without for 8 hrs just to see..Boy was I sorry (male thing)
Funny brought back a thought about first wife, she said she needed 50 mg/day Valium to put up with my ass. HahaI’m high 24/7 so everyone else can put up with me:D especially my wife.

Just kinda have to weed out the good ones.Doctors are crooked as fuck,MFers just want money.
Um ... I really don't understand why you hate white people so much. Is it just me, or is it racism? It should be more loyal to people of other ethnic groups. It is no one's fault that they do not want to develop the cannabis industry. If you want to take an active part in the development of this industry, then stop hating white people and start acting. For example, you can start with the development of CBD or kratom, as was done for example in kratomgallery.com. This will be a great start ... you will soon be able to switch to grass. The future is in your hands, take action, don't just talk...The question of who should lead the weed industry isn’t just about professional fields.
