3 years ago when i was at a meeting , the word on the street was a study is a bad thing. Basically if the police want to influence the study they could use someone they caught growing and make a deal with them to record their grow for 3 months and bam theres your study. But realistically not everyone can afford the optimum equipment and high electricity bills without taking out a decent loan. I just came from the dispensary 1st time , 1 1/4 of blueberry and a 1/8 something with 23 % thc cost me with tax $187.00 . So hopefully in their study with the ammount most of us NEED to consume we cant afford the dispensary. Growing with florescent light a person can grow their small 12 plants for 40 a ounce. That is something I hope this study understands as well. I know a guy in a wheel chair that can barely handle growing 6 , so he has to go there but even with his discount its not affordable.
To push us all into the dispensary and taking away grow rights, would be a good thing for drug dealers. Te price would sky rocket to the cost of dispensaries and they would be very happy. At this point in my opinion they should leave it be , for the after effect would be both bad and good from anyones stand point.
Also to wavegem and everyone excited about any big numbers , they super simplified for people. Anyone with patience , money , and the ability to look things up on the internet can do it all. The options for special new things would be genetics as far as growing goes. For example strains yielding 60 %thc or 90% cbd . This is where the BIG THING is.
Average person will take with no investment money and no friends to learn from about 2 years to really get a nice base if u will. After that the knowledge and experience attained will be priceless . Regardless to ammount of money , meds, ect. Im a few months from 4 year mark and at this point " Its second nature".
In closing I hope who performs the study will be fair to both sides and I feel they will come to a correct conclusion, by leaving it alone.
I like that people still use this site , rock on Cheers , Im gonna get medicated on some over priced product now. lol
