2022 might be the biggest year yet for legal weed. But there are problems. After decades of the War on Drugs, the cartels are not …

The only people who don't want pot legalized is big pharma and the politicians on their payroll and democrats are creating their own problems with pot because they don't want it legalized they just want to replace the guy you are buying it from .
The biggest danger of legal weed is damage to the brain of the user. THC is a hallucinogenic drug that causes major health problems to the user no matter how it is ingested. How many teens have jumped to their deaths after ingesting "brownies"? Users coming down with lung cancer from smoking it. How can marketers sell it as a medicinal treatment? Ethics go out the window when money walks in the door.
Marijuana Has been proven to have more benefits towards one's health and less side effects than any and all of the various different pharmaceutical medication that can be prescribed. I'll take it a step further by saying think about how many times cops get called to a violent domestic dispute that is alcohol-related? You don't get those calls with marijuana think about how many overdose casesTHAT occur each and every day all year long. Not one person has ever overdosed for marijuana. Think about how many hit and run And DUI cases occur throughout the year resulting in somebody becoming partially or completely paralyzed losing their physical freedom or even being pronounced dead on arrival. Those are just a few examples of why marijuana has such a positive potential of influencing people to be their best.
The other reason there is a divide between hemp and marijuana farming is because when hemp is farmed, both male and female plants are grown in a field. When marijuana is grown to be smoked, only female plants are used. Any males have to be destroyed because pollination will cause the flowers to form seed which degrades the quality for smoking. In our county we have outdoor legal cannabis and it is forbidden to grow hemp here. There has to be more or less a 13 mile radius to prevent the pollination. Just Fyi 😉
I live in San Francisco and the 'underground' market is still huge – larger than the legal market ; a) there was never a significant concern about quality control with weed (consumers can use their noses, and there are established relationships) b) taxation by govt is insane; suppliers are going from 0% to 50% or so effective tax rates going above board. It's a ludicrous cash-grab. The people who decided crazy taxation levels were ludicrously unaware – believed they had leverage where (decades of people working illegally) had demonstrated they had little power. Just.. bullshit. Weed has been legal here for a long time (medical MJ) but the "illegal" (i.e. untaxed) business is still huuuuge. People who followed the govt and tried to comply have just burned their money on a fool's errand. There are some retail weed outlets that are making money but… they're obscenely expensive, and I don't think they'll last
Here in WA state we have repeated murders at cannabis dispensaries. This is because of three reasons: 1) Cannabis stores have a bunch of cash on hand, because they can't really use electronic transactions for the most part, and banking the 'drug money' is hard. This makes dispensaries a desirable target for armed robbers 2) Legal firearm owners aren't allowed to carry on the premises, making the stores a soft target 3) A lot of stores skimp on security, making the stores a soft target.
Allowing cannabis transactions to be just like alcohol transactions and allowing legal firearm owners to carry in dispensaries (you're not allowed to consume weed on the premises anyway so IDK why we're not allowed to carry within dispensaries) would go a long way to solve the problem. Holding stores liable for failing to provide armed security is another option, though I imagine it would pose a barrier to entry to smaller entrepreneurs.
POT FARMER SONG 2022# I got out my pipe stuffed it with pot You better believe it held a whole lot. I whipped out a lighter thumbed up a flame Sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.
I tried alcohol smoked cigarettes They did nothing but give me regrets. My mom had arthritis could not walk around I rolled her a joint she danced on the ground.
I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack After I smoked some to me it came back. Soon I decided prices were high I searched for some ground I wouldn't have to buy.
I bargained for seeds from smokers all around Got in my truck and drove out of town. I walked through the woods where wild birds nest Found me the meadow I thought was the best.
I dug up the ground sowed all my seeds Said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds. I watered at night with a five-gallon pail Mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.
Seven months went by; I thought I would die Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky. At night I went out, in a camouflage suit Used my corn knife to chop down the loot.
I hung it up to dry where it couldn’t be found. Came back and got it, when it had turned brown. I trimmed off the buds, stuffed them in bags Called all my friends and passed out free drags.
In less than a week my crop was gone I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!

Yeah LA didn't invent growing weed. Marijuana has been grown as long as humans have existed and nobody has a right to say its theirs. That's one of the beautiful things about it. And if u wanna hurt the illegal market STOP taxing the hell out of marijuana.
Im a weed grower since 90s n when i see THC causes cancer n brith defects so out in New England NYC NJ legal weed is synthetic n low percent n suck ass i use just Use water n no chemicals to grow im Native American 6Nations Mohawk Iroquois.
So sad that people of color were throw in jail for weed, now it's legal, guess who's now running the cannabis market? The same people who put those people of color in jail for the very same reason.
I know one hundred pot sellers who are now OUT OF Business. In Canada you may grow your'e own . Product is exellent. This program sounds like nonsense. Many folks grow so they can offer it to family and friends. No problems in Canada at all! Perhaps corperations do dominate but you can grow yer own.
The whole thing is so screwed up I don't even know if or how this is going to help me it's only going to make the rich richer. Well if they're not selling it at least at an equal price to the black market I'll buy it from the grey market. The laws are so screwed up in New York I don't even know what they are and if I Google it so well there's nothing
It's our government's fault for being too greedy. In New York it's been illegal almost a year and there is no where to legally buy cannabis. Everybody around here in Batavia New York they say it's all from Cali. Well I don't want to buy weed from these drug dealers I want to grow my own. And we're supposed to wait till they start selling it to grow our own. The laws are so freaking stupid it's ridiculous. And they don't want to have places like Amsterdam where you can go and smoke weed without a bunch of drunk people around because that's a problem for me very good. They are cutting out the craft budtenders here by what they're doing. If we're lucky there will be two kinds of weed just like at the medical marijuana place you can look on the internet and see what they offer for medical marijuana is barely anything. And that has been going on for years and they will deliver. And it's super expensive $75 1/2 G of 99% pure Vape juice. And they say we can buy flower but it's all grown up. It takes a long time to grow a nice plant I've been gone for four months. The LEDs are amazing. And they save a lot of electric. That is what people should do but they probably won't grow your own. You will see how much work it is to do it. What was you have what you need like i g h t s you're okay. I think I got at least $150 worth of just leaf and tops but it takes about 6 months ago have really nice ones. And the place where they are cloning is not as good to clone. That's where you're going to be buying it.
Smoke is dangerous to the human body especially the lungs and brain. The source is not important however the damage the smoke does is. People have the misconception that smoking weed is natural however the smoke still contains carcinogens and host of other chemicals and gases that are 100% harmful to the human body in every way possible.

Legalize weed and flood the society with fentynal kill kill kill
Thug life at it's best. From inside the industry

POT FARMER SONG 2022#
I got out my pipe stuffed it with pot
You better believe it held a whole lot.
I whipped out a lighter thumbed up a flame
Sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.
I tried alcohol smoked cigarettes
They did nothing but give me regrets.
My mom had arthritis could not walk around
I rolled her a joint she danced on the ground.
I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack
After I smoked some to me it came back.
Soon I decided prices were high
I searched for some ground I wouldn't have to buy.
I bargained for seeds from smokers all around
Got in my truck and drove out of town.
I walked through the woods where wild birds nest
Found me the meadow I thought was the best.
I dug up the ground sowed all my seeds
Said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.
I watered at night with a five-gallon pail
Mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.
Seven months went by; I thought I would die
Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky.
At night I went out, in a camouflage suit
Used my corn knife to chop down the loot.
I hung it up to dry where it couldn’t be found.
Came back and got it, when it had turned brown.
I trimmed off the buds, stuffed them in bags
Called all my friends and passed out free drags.

What's really terrible is the people who have been imprisoned for years and they end up making this legal. Pretty messed up if you think about it.
Yeah LA didn't invent growing weed. Marijuana has been grown as long as humans have existed and nobody has a right to say its theirs. That's one of the beautiful things about it. And if u wanna hurt the illegal market STOP taxing the hell out of marijuana.
It’s an idea
How about we don’t charge taxes

Sooner or later a civil war is gonna happen again
Why does this video look like it was made in the late 80s?

I wonder how screwed the whole system was when they made alcohol legal again because of prohibition?
