I was referring to bypassing the law and using the oil anyway. Not the testing part...no opinion on that.
I assume as much as well, but I have to speak to the overall article, and the affect it will have being worded as it is.
The very fact that you can say that, for example, kind of proves my point. Not that you're wrong in that observation either, and I don't disagree with it. I just think that in light of the article and its wording, it's too much to overlook, and a bit of a trojan horse, as they conflate competing issues unnecessarily.
Do they need LP's to get their kid what it needs to function normally? No.
Should LP's offer a high quality, trustable extract. Well, yes. Can they? No. They can't even meet that mark of quality with the weed by itself to begin with.
I resent the discussion when it's framed in that light as well, as is typically done with "charlotts web", the makers of which kicked off this campaign with which to enriching the LP's further. My mom doesn't know jack shit about weed btw, but she knows "charlott's web", and that it's good treatment for children who need it, because "getting high is bad (oh yea and it's actually pretty effective too)". Why? CNN. Why else? Because it's a fraud by a couple of self serving activists who are monopolizing information to commodify the sick for their own profit. The end result is of course that "getting high is still bad" and still a reserved monopoly for pharmaceuticals.
If they really wanted to help these poor fuckers, they'd empower them with the information they've been withholding, and telling them to grow it for themselves. It's embarrassingly easy to veg, and that's all they gotta do before stuffing it into a juicer. Any strain will do. Every strain will do! No. No that's too rich. "Move across the country...come and live on our compound. We'll market you to the media as prisoners of prohibition."
So I have to ask, at the end of the day, is really beneficial for the majority of people for these so called activists, so prominent in the media's eye, to adopt its fucking propaganda against us in the first place? That's just another one of those "fatal compromises", for a temporary niche, which at the end of the day, won't be left in their hands anyway. But you know, "thanks for establishing the requirement of a trustworthy pill format".
So, where did these parents get the impression that CBD rich extract needed to be metered exactly. Who told them that shit that it should be the basis of an article about their struggle for it? Would the negative side effects suddenly outweigh the perceived benefits if it was off at all? If it was an accidental double dose, would the kid suddenly get high, on CBD's that you can't get high on, and if they did, would it ruin their lives measurably? Is it only beneficially effect in some narrow window? It flies in the face of all that we factually do know of it. It's fucking ridiculous. Sorry but LP's aren't necessary for that when it isn't required in the first place.
I think there is a push for the LP's to be able to offer these extracts, but as we've seen that's zero assurance of quality in any respect that really matters. Mind you, it's a fucking dirty industry, and it needs regulating. It's just a shame there's nobody competent enough to do it properly. My concern is they'll gladly use that to keep them prohibited, while so called activists use it for running trains, 200 gram hot boxes for hot dog stands, and sending their victims to the hospital with it because they used it for marketing dangerous products that isn't fit for public use, and all because their party without any consequences never stops.
Maybe they could also make available an idiotic means of producing it, that can only explode. What could go wrong. Party in a can.
