Attention all California growers! CA Cannabis industry, market and laws.

Hello,
Yes things are not cut and dry are they? We have to interpret and hope we are right. To put people with cancer and compromised functioning through this gray area of legal mumbling seems highly unfair. There is a great difference in quality between growers of the same strains and we depend on a persons honesty as to whether or not spraYs were used etc. Why is public opinion allowed in medicine? What does opinion have to do with what medicine a person needs to take? A person who will die in 3 days should not take ****** because they may become addicted? Who makes up this stuff? If weed helps people who are sick then the gov. has no place telling doctors how to practice. How many years did they hang on to the world being flat? The way they have it set up now is ripe for organized crime to enter and profit from. Their own laws has turned this into a cash cow for organized crime just like prohibition did 80 years ago. In wa. we can grow 15 plants and if we supply someone else as well then we can double that to 30 and so on. I believe that growers should be lic. and inspected for cleanness. I believe that they should be req. to have security and help prevent diversion to the non medical population. I am for making this work truthfully as it should.

Agreed Hoppie - I am a new member and newly carded patient who has used every prescription sleep aid on the planet as well as anti-anxiety drugs... can't help but feel some of the people in there today trying to get their card were just social users: in the way the acted, looked and complete lack of any medical records.

I'm not one to judge, but out of 8 people, I was the only one not empty handed. If the medical issue is to be taken seriously, I think the industry needs to show they have better controls - but that would decrease profits...

I was very happy with my experience but am concerned that the lack of controls, from what I've seen today at the doctors office and the dispensary, is going to backfire on the industry and possibly in a hard way. If they take away what few rights we have as patients, it will be much harder to fight and get them back, let alone move forward. As an aside, taking away what I used to base my assumption of people in the doctors office, people I saw coming out of the dispensary were high fiving, hooting and hollering less than favorable language - kind of hard to build public favor when acting like your 14 in front of a very large, lit up MJ leaf!

Just my two cents... because I'd like to see the industry move forward and not grow stagnant or decrease in size - I really dont want to go back on Ambien and Buspar!
