I think of it this way: if they can’t know when you’re growing poppies and Ayahuasca how could they actually keep track of what’s in your house?

those tampon-looking things are actually vape pens, not vaginal suppositories. 
- but maybe they think women are more comfortable buying cannabis in white plastic applicators, I mean pens???

The big canna companies are going to pay the police to find and shut down home grows. That’s the concern.

If we do our jobs correctly they won’t have any suspicions to follow letting them get a warrant. No suspicious electrical usage and no smells or sights that spell cannabis. Stealth grows help a lot.

Well, at least Vermont respects it’s citizens enough to provide the fundamental freedom to
grow their own cannabis.
IMO, everything else is secondary.
“Though the personal use and cultivation of marijuana has been legal in Vermont since last July, retail sales remain prohibited”

Vermont is the only state government to repeal prohibition on possession & growing. No legislature has dared to cross Pharma by legalizing sales - all 50 are hostile. They’ve done nothing but re-write voter laws to make them more favorable to Pharma.

And this tidbit from your article;
“The ability for New Yorkers to grow their own cannabis at home is a major sticking point for legalization advocates…”
This is most unfortunate.
Truly lamentable that the freedom to grow a plant continues to be so elusive.

It doesn’t sound too bad - at least some factions are fighting for legal plants in NY. Looking around the “legal” industry these days it’s pretty clear you don’t have legal plants you got nothing. Honestly I just don’t see NY or NJ doing anything for a long time. Just because they’re talking about it doesn’t mean a thing. RI and NH will go first IMO. Maybe CT. VT will be the first legislature to allow sales.
All through the 80’s and 90’s dozens of states passed medMJ laws that were completely ineffectual, we may see a prolonged period like that with legalization. Legislators know legalization has 2 to 1 support in polls, they all want to say they’re in favor of it now.

“All the cannabis that’s around now will be replaced by varieties that will be optimized and specialized, and we’re going to be the company that makes those.”
“We have huge barriers to entry protecting us.”
“It would be impossible for anybody else to collect this data set.”
“Cultivators can’t do real breeding on their own.”
“Our core business is plant breeding, we had to build two other businesses to support that…so we built an entire testing business to create all that data.”
“We have a really unusual advisory board. They are not there for show… Ron started and ran a couple of seed companies that he sold to Syngenta, he worked for Syngenta for years and is now the CEO of a spin-out company from there. And Barbara until recently was the VP of technology acquisition for all of Dow / DuPont. So, having these guys around is just critical for us, because we’re building a company that is ultimately going to be acquired by that universe.”
It was suddenly, starkly clear that the brass at the top of the company didn’t give a shit about the community they had built themselves up on the hopes and aspirations of. Actually, truly the case that they looked down on that community and the breeder’s art they’ve carried, for decades, risking everything as “a quaint, rural hobby that maybe farmers get into.”

@Olbrannon We should all encourage everyone to use Medical Genomics and Kannapedia. We should be using the names Medical Genomics and Kannapedia so often that not a soul hasn’t heard of them
