@ Cheezy .. I was told from my NoCal fellow gardners it was the 'commercial' growers who keep voting down legalization increases .. cause it effects their prices !
I thought we were talking about weed quality ....
But obvoiusly .. the vendors are voting it down and even the clubs...
Dont be fooled your club will pretend there for it ... but they know they might lose some feds and get tooken out by new shops and homegrowers... they clearly would hate that to happen ... or even see big companies or government put there hands into production..
Dont forget the big farma and all the so called doctor who write out recs... there are vested interest and even tho i want it legal it needs to be regulated in some way ....
edit .....
One guy told me ..."i cant wait for the day an 1/8 of top shelve is $20"
and this is what i said...kinda of funny i thought...
20 bucks?
It could and probly will happen one day ..
And that will be a sad day for all us patients ...ill tell u why ..
Eventually in california mj will be legal...
The government still however will attemp to control and regulate its production...
They will make factories and fields ...where they will have a board(like the fda) that control pest mols, etc.. With harmful pestacides and chemicals ...
And add other toxins that will addict you ...
Eventually a mass production of "death cigarettes" sold in 20 dollar pack of 10 ...
U will not notice the difference intiailly ... it will be just as effective and potent as homegrown buds, and the alternative will be made due to price gouging and lower pricing...
This will lead to the authorities to shut down all the collectives in town essentially , to profit , and make revenues in order to worsen the war on drugs.
Basically eliminating all meds from the market that are not grown by the government...
Furthermore ,the production will indeed get shipped to china ...
your meds where the meds will be grown in sweatshops for 2 dollars an hours ...all in order to be sold at 20 bucks an 1/8 at your local 711...
this all can happen ..... probly not..
