The Scramble to Toss Weed Grown with Prohibited Pesticides

This is stupid. At the end of the day all we're talking about here are beautiful flowers with an inflated price tag. Prohibition of this plant was to say the least a crime against humanity based on ignorance, prejudices, and special interests. $3.00 a gram wholesale for weed laced with poison is a travesty against my own best interest, especially when as a consumer I lack the "legal" right to grow my own. What is this?

Why can't we legally grow our own? Legalization of this plant was not just about us getting high, the real value to society will come from hemp. What if I want to grow hemp in my yard? These are important questions.

Recently I was informed that if we are ever going to get our "Home Grow" where everyone 21 and over has the legal right to grow their own, we are going to need a bigger lobby than the emerging cannabis industry has. Really? So when it really comes down to it all this legalization/freedom movement was just for a hand full of people to gain the legal right to grow for us? Again I call foul.

Please wait...
