It's because every single seed sale doesn't have to be thought of as a medical seed sale. Green point is based in Colorado if I'm not mistaken... one of the several states that are REC. I'm sure that alot of his sales are based on medicinal, maybe even half, but to say that everything should be based on your way of thinking is slightly convoluted. Should he have tested, yes, should there have been research done, yes, but should he assume that every single seed he releases is going to help a sick kid or a recovering cancer patient? Maybe in a perfect world, but alot of people just like to smoke pot... that's the bottom line. There are alot of pot smokers out there and he's supplying a product to the general masses. Hypodermic needles supply heroin as much as they supply blood transfusions... think about that for a second
It's funny that you don't realize I said medical or critical. You seem to think I was talking about a medical market. Are there critical marijuana markets? You're assuming that I was talking about a medical market yet you are failing to resolve whether or not there are critical markets. Your interpretation of my statement only makes sense if you do not quote me fully, and leave out the fact that I said "medical or critical." You should quote me directly so as to avoid this confusion.
I would ask you to actually read what I wrote, not someone else's summary. I posted the original message and an edit which clarified my position before you wrote this. You're taking what I said out of context. Every single discussion of a medical use was related to whytewidow's comment. He lives in a state which does not have any form of weed. Both he and I were using medical in the context of the desired end us, not the method of growing or procurement.
I was not saying that whytewidow, as a person living in state with no legal weed, was operating a licensed medical facility. I was saying that if you operate under the assumption that every one of your customers uses weed for some critical or medical reason, you are less inclined to cut corners. Knowing your product will be used for a patient with a severe medical issue, whether or not one is in a legal state and getting product through a medical dispensary, makes one less inclined to screw your customers.
It's not just a dude growing to move as much product as possible, in which case ripping him off would represent a certain level of depravity. If the producer beings with the assumption that every end user has a medical or critical issue, like cancer, childhood epilepsy, aids, etc, it represents an entirely different level of depravity to not implement strict quality controls.
In short, just above someone talked about a stardawg bx1. Why would Gu test it? Why not just breed the seeds, never test them once, and send them to everyone?
Why would Gu implement stricter quality controls for his work than for the work of others?
My point was that if Gu knew every one of his seeds might be going to a kid with cancer, he would be more likely to implement strict quality control measures.
I'm glad we can agree on 90% of things though. The other 10% appears to have been a miscommunication. There is no such thing as a critical market. My words were "medical or critical." Your interpretation of my statement only makes sense if you leave that fact out.
