I am just a total snob since growing my own.
I hate when people grow better weed then me. That's my biggest gripe. Lol
In all seriousness i think that rec being dominant is a fad that will eventually slow down. I imagine most residents will be more interested in going medical since the application fee went down and doctors are getting cheap as well. I don't know why, when given the option to pay either a rediculous tax rate or a reasonable tax rate people still see getting the red card as unnecessary or dated. Certainly, colorado residents will eventually convert to medical for the tax break and only out of staters or very recreational(read light consumption) customers will make up the majority of the customer base.
I totally disagree that big pharma is going to eventually take medical cannabis into their fleet of cash machines. Even with terpen, canibinoid and other chemical isolation and identification they will not be able to produce as consistent a product as their guidelines will allow.
Mr troll, what we will see is a totally new industry that has federal guidlines custom tailored to paitent needs and product control and probably maximum levels of chemicals present. They will regulate and make brand new money off of it. The goverment, with all of their patents on cannabis research findings has money to make, and i believe that future is coming fast.
The system is out of whack right now, and is way different then the medical scene was a year ago, algore has every right to bitch
