Yes my head is in the sand. It’s nice and quiet in there.
Echo chambers FTW?
Yep, I have been sayin’ the same thing over and over and folks still don’t catch on…
10 years ago I said corporate cannabis would rule the market.
Folks said it was fearmongering and refused to hear it.
10 years ago i said we would see plant patents.
Folks said it was fearmongering and refused to hear it.
10 years ago I said we would see cannabis royalties.
Folks said it was fearmongering and refused to hear it.
10 years ago I said medical cannabis would be pharmacy only.
Folks said it was fearmongering and refused to hear it.
I could go on and on…
Nobody would heed the warning, they all responded much like you have.
Maybe if folks woulda had enough sense to think about what I said we would not be in the situation we are in today.
You can lead a man to knowledge but you can’t make him think!
I know you mean well, but you keep going back to “If only people had listened to ME” (lots of emphasis on the me part), and not recognizing that when you say things like “why vote yes?” many of us are wondering when this vote was held and why we never heard about it. Oh right, because a limited number of states have binding voter ballot initiatives.
Yes, the regulated market is going to be dominated by large corporations. Yes, they will use the law to protect their businesses. Yes, they will use their lobbying power to craft the law to protect their business.
Out of likes, sir, respectfully
You folks keep making it about me…please stop that.
I have said countless times others support these issues the same as I do.
I have also said over and over this is not about me.
Just simply insert us in the place of me or we in place of “I”.
When I chose to use the word us, folks would say who is the US so now I just use me to avoid having to explain who we are.
I can only speak for myself.
So to be clear here this is not about me, if you continue to say this fine but I told you how I feel.
If you knew me in real life you would see i always put others first, but you do not and will probably want to frame me in a way that works best for you.
This is about awareness not about how I look in the public eye.
In fact if I was worried about how I looked in the public eye, I would not put myself in this position in the first place.
It would seem what I say is not really conducive to a popular public opinion.
Now if you think I like to be given a hard time all day every day then I may be on the right track…
Others feel the same way I do, I just may be the most outspoken.
I do not need to tell you how the voting process works.
But the govt. is supposed to be bound to do the will of we the people.
That is the way it works in a Republic anyway.
We do live in a constitutional republic, don’t we?
Are you saying the Govt. is not bound to do what the people want?
That seems like the root of the problem to me.
If a person is speaking true words that may help prevent irreparable harm can they really be said to many times?
I am of the opinion those words should never stop being said, the more people they reach the better.
Maybe more folks should speak up about this issue too.
I know more eco-chamber stuff…right…LOL
You forgot this part…
Yes, they will use their lobbying power to stamp out home growing….
You did mean to include that did you not?
Here is another quote stating what others thought 10 years ago.

If your hope solely to smoke a joint without getting hassled by the man, then we are on the right course. If you hope to grow your own or buy a seed or have access to all the strains that now exist, your future is bleak. A STRATEGY NEEDS TO BE FORMULATED NOW. If not, cannabis will be in the exact same situation as corn and soy beans. If they can do it to those crops they can do it to cannabis and are doing it.
You sureeeeee aboot that?
Here we go again…the thread is about to become about me again…WTF?
I sometimes put butter on my weed and eat it with a tooth chomping motion.
I know, most of us feel the same way when we see you go on 2 hour wall of text rants.
No shit?

Yeah the stem is like a cob right?
I think so. Maybe.
Easily provable observations are not personal attacks. They are stating factual data.
I make my kids call me Colonel (because of corn) but they like the joke.
Wait does that make me a troll? Am I a troll?
Why is it when people disagree with you and point out the faults in how you go about things automatically they are trolls? Seems intellectually dishonest at a minimum.

So I am a troll and you just don’t want to say. Thanks a lot.
