My buddy was talking to a sales rep from Colorado area.some out of state drug ring bust and talking about tightening up down there.
I just read the article on Pennsylvania,no combustible mmj.just pill,salve,vape,lotion.25 growers to start
Yeah PA's medical ring will be one of the worst I've seen yet.
They are totally monopolizing control early on in the game.
They want all the taxes and profit being funneled right where they want it. And the earlier on they gain control. The higher the probability they remain in control in the future.
They also will only be approving cards for a small number of symptoms. Most are near death or in some form of lifelong misery.
It's not available to those who seek it as a vegetable to help prevent future illnesses. Rather only offered as a bandaid for after life has gotten out of control :(.
The states need to realize it needs to be available to everyone. Just like normal household fruits and veggies. Cannabis too is a super healthy food great for preventative health. The quality of meds is higher and production costs are lower growing yourself vs. Buying through the states usually.
It's almost pointless using a preventative health food as a last resort medicine.
That's like eating fast food all your life. Then at the end when your riddled with diseases and health problems. you decide to eat healthy foods. While it can/will help. It will not erase all the negative that could have been avoided eating healthy all along.
We still have a lot of work ahead of us guys getting cannabis fully legalized.
Every new state creates their own system under guidance from seeing what other states have done. And how each new state can better gain full state control early on if cards are played right. It is a tactic that needs to be exposed.
It needs to be legal to
Grow
Consume (however we see fit)
Prepare (food, concentrates, Kief, etc)
Posses
Trade/barter
I think half the medicine is in the spirituality of raising, taking care of, nurturing your plants. And seeing how we and these beings are all here to share this world.
There are many ways to live in this universe. Don't let our governments tell us that this living creature has no right to exist. And even more so that we can't raise it either.
We need to break through all the lies separating mankind from regaining a truer sense of spirituality with our world around us.
