I am getting a little annoyed at people who bemoan the fact that prop 19
didn't pass. I am sure none of them read the entire document. The bill was
a very bad direction for the medical AND recreational cannabis communities.
Corporate business interests are already the new 'royalty' in our democratic nation. Prop 19 paved a road for large business cultivation. Even now well-informed growers who fall into the 20-50 plant category, while well-intentioned are producing poorly
flushed, chemical laden product that is dangerous to smoke. Growers are putting things in and on their plants which should NOT be inhaled. This cocktail of substances when ignited can produce unintended substrates that are dangerous and even carcinogenic. What we do not need is a commercial atmosphere where large corporate grows are compelled to use methods, amendments and chemicals
that while designed for higher quality actually turn the plant into one more health concern. That would kill a lot of support these communities enjoy from non-smoking populations that feel "what's the harm in a little buzz?".
Proposition 19 wasn't even a good start. We need to write a bill that emphasizes small home growing along with licensed (state) 50-70 plant growers and like we
passed here in Sebastopol 750 square feet of cultivation for dispensaries.
Keeping large corporate or special interest growers out of the picture will strengthen the quality-control as well as educating and inspecting product from smaller grows.
Let's get a section started here in this forum for people to throw out their suggestions so we can also contribute to the process. It's only right that
the folks who are at the foundation of cannabis enjoyment should also
be the ones to help legalize and regulate it. Let's not allow organized crime
and corporate whores to commandeer the Cannabis Movement.
