WTF is âtoxicomaniaâ anyway? perhaps related to âsuicycomaniaâ???

Vineyards are also feeling the impact of the illegal pot farms, said Miller, chair of the Oregon Wine Council.
âWe are already facing challenges finding enough workers to support our operations, particularly during peak harvest seasons,â Miller said. âThe unfair and often illegal labor practices of these illegal operations are compounding that issue by paying workers in cash at significantly higher wages than those of us who ⌠are adhering to all labor laws.â
I think blaming people for choosing to work for higher wages is not an illegal growing problem, itâs a not enought money being paid by legal businesses to work for them problem.
As with all products that are heavily taxed and regulated you are going to get those products made by non regulated opportunists, as its the way of all government controlled products for tax purposes.
I would have to agree itâs not a good scenario to have with gun weilding gangs robbing everyone though, but that is the result again of government regulatory control making illegal weed grows a juicy target, as they deal only in cash.
If they de regulated all weed growing so any body can grow however much they want, it would not be worth the effort to do anything illegal as prices and profits would plummet. End of problem.
Germany is going legal. 
No English link yet. No info about growing yet either.
Those Greens better stick up for our right to grow plants! I used to joke around w/ the green party guys here during coalition building âwe have a lot in common, youâre into saving trees, weâre into smokinâ trees!â
Germanyâs Next Coalition Nears Deal on Legalizing Cannabis
The deal is closed now. Recreational Cannabis will be sold in licensed shops. Drug checking will become legal. More info announced for tomorrow.
âSocial equityâ marijuana licenses were meant to right a wrong. Critics say theyâll just make cannabis giants even richer.
From article above;
And anyone who wants to be entered into the lottery to win a social equity license must pay a non-refundable $5,000 application fee
Thats very interesting, cruciferous vegetables have lots of sulphur compounds as well which help your liver make Glutathione the most powerful anti oxidant and immune system enhancer your body makes.
Maybe itâs time to start eating buds in my salad or throw some in a curry 
Here it is - the wonderful government still wonât say whether the plants will be legal or not:
They already denied itâs a final decision. 
Oklahoma and Maine are the only states with true social equity. What a preposterous, bullshit Orwellian term âsocial equityâ. And those states only for medMJ. Just the sound of âsocial equityâ alone should make you realize youâre being played a fool.
If you want âequityâ, make the license fee $50 to grow and sell cannabis. Have the same safety, purity, and security regulations we use for food, alcohol, and tobacco, instead of the ridiculous Plutonium model.
The government wants the cost of having a cannabis business to be $1 million or more. âSocial equityâ is a lie. Itâs like some billionaire saying âHere! you want some equity? Lick my boots!â
Yes. Government$ are repentant. Medical cannabi$ is amazing. They have seen the light$.
And âexâ alphabetical agencie$ agent$ are leading the way. Praise our overlord$
I particularly like that they make the application fee $5k, and especially that itâs non-refundable. Perfect way to keep the people who actually need âsocial equityâ out, since most of the working poor canât even cover a $500 emergency, much less a $5k application fee⌠refundable or non-refundable, really. Supporters, of course, will say âthey can just get a loanâŚâ with a non-existent credit score, and banks legally prevented from working with cannabis businesses. 
Ridiculous.
you know the only thing here I really dislike is the 10k fee, otherwise it seems the best federal bill Iâve seen.
Good find!
Interesting the the VCDâs were mostly gone 10 days post cure, so 21 days post harvest.
So if these compounds do have medical value you would need to consume very fresh buds.
best thing the feds could do is de-schedule cannabis and repeal - remove any mention of cannabis from federal law. Thereâs no federal law on poison ivy, we donât need one for cannabis. Leave it to the states. A Supreme Court decision could do this.
Chraging them for not paying taxes when the Federal government doesnât recognize them? Hmmmm.
what an amazing coincidence! Just a few months after the state legalizedâŚ
