Since the laws are usually written by big cannabiz, Corporate Speed Passes are ALWAYS part of the plan. They just wish they could make sure home growing is ALWAYS A felony.
I guarantee you the day if ever itâs legal here I bet itâs still gonna be illegal to grow at home sadly too many places will go this way I think fuck em tho ainât like your gonna let it stop you is it at least your weed will be worth something again too fire speaks for itself isnât like any big corporate grow ops gonna be putting out quality
Im going away next week and basically purchased a fast pass on top of the basic charges and in my experience itâs totally worth it.
Jumping the line for a few bucks.
Totally on purpose.
I read an article about how the airline industry has a vested interest in making air travel unpleasant so you will buy upgrades to make it more pleasant.
A look at their website and they can place their $50 an 1/8th in their nearest orifice. Respectfully speaking, of course.
Weed and sex should always be free.
Yes.
Thereâs one farm in the Hudson area owned by a large oil company family who worked with legislatures to get the laws and market Exactly how they want it to be for their own interests.
Theyâre now teamed up with Lowell Farms in their MSM capital venture
If you pay attention to this company, any dispensary carrying their products has no problems with regulators.
NY doesnât allow full integration, so if you have a cultivation/extraction license, you canât have a dispensary license. So they are motivated to protect the dispensaries carrying their products.
The law also keeps potential competitors from gaining too much traction and being actual competitors.
I do know they worked with legislators a couple years ago to allow for farm stands, so they can sell their products directly. And they have tours and retreats at their farm.
Itâs stories like this that make you wonder if things werenât better in the good old days when it was illegal. This isnât what we were fighting for. All these big businesses were completely against cannabis until they started growing it themselves. There must be something we can do to fight back.
Yeah man thatâs why Iâm not really supportive of legalization⌠Just decriminalization is fine. Of course being in a deep south we donât really have a choice haha but a bunch of greedy dirty bad actors are going to enter the arena. Do we really think these people give a damn about the plant? Hell no just profits
A good analogy for federal cannabis legalization is just look at a smaller local restaurant⌠And then compare it to another similar one that gets bought out turned into a chain and loses its character and great qualities. Thatâs exactly what could happen with cannabis in terms of a widespread legalization and more importantly markets controlled by big entities. Iâm all for ending the barbaric practice of sending folks to jail for growing and consuming this plant but not sure we really want to open Pandoraâs box
I would think the main thing to fight for is the ability and right to home cultivate. That being a cornerstone, the plant itself grows in such a way that itâs not hard to flood the market with more affordable and SHARED flower. As it becomes less mystified, seen as another plant in many backyards, it starts to lose the stigma.
The paradox is relaxing home cultivation laws is tied to the industry wanting their rules relaxed for their profit. I donât think home cultivation alone would make it through without the moneyed interests throwing a bone thinking theyâll corner the market anyway (most people donât bother to make beer or grow tomatoes).
Heavy discouraging of allowing it into the hands of children and people operating machinery (the way one does with alcohol) and you help stave off the backlash. The Reppressoids use the every spooky story they can get their hands on.
That is a great point. Big cannabis hates home grow because they know itâs really bad for their current monopoly. So theyâre fighting it wherever they can. The scare tactics are focusing on unregulated weed getting in the hands of children and people driving around getting high. We all know that if itâs legal like tomatoes then the financial incentives for big cannabis is over and they will move on to something else. That might be our best chance of winning our plants back from them. We canât let them get away with banning home grown. Itâs the hill we have to defend with our lives. Just have to convince the public that itâs the most important part of decriminalizing cannabis.
Homegrow is not a true threat for their business either, most people wonât
And at the same time, it makes it less likely to get in the hands of children
That said, I believe the best way to fight back is to overgrow the world
Practically impossible to regulate something thatâs literally everywhere
From my view,
Patenting the plant and technology around it is our only course of action.
These MSM companies donât have landraces - they only have commercial strains.
And theyâre spending a lot of money to pate t what they have. As well the methods used to breed, grow, extract, and process the plant.
The Rockefeller family became trillionairs by patenting a more efficient method of processing crude oil into multiple fuel products.
So we got a beat them at their own game.
If someone, or a collective, were to patent a landrace, perhaps it could be proven that whatever hype commercial strains an MSM company has came from that landrace and thus are infringing upon a patented strain.
Itâs a large task, but I think this plant is worth defending.
Btw, mushrooms and other entheogens are being fast tracked to be patented and commercialized as well
Patenting life forms is bad precedent. The GMO vultures want that ability to control and own all living things. I donât think you can fight that using the same paradigm. Youâd be absorbed by the Borg or just become another type of it. That paradigm itself is what needs to be thrown into Mount Doom.
I own the patent on @Omphaloskepsis and I will not allow any unauthorized reproductions.
