Tour the High-Tech Cannabis Factory of Tomorrow

It seems the government is addicted to drug money as the drug cartels. Why is medical marijuana grown indoors in rooms designed to hide from law enforcement rather than outdoors in fields by farmers?

Please don't tell me patients need indoor marijuana, billions, yes, billions of dollars of marijuana are grown each year in California and sold in dispensaries. We don't know how much is grown by Mexican drug cartels and sold to dispensaries for thousands of dollars a pound.

The only way to keep criminals and drug cartels out of medical marijuana, is to remove the enormous profits. Someone please tell me how the same price that made these drug cartels rich enough to challenge Mexico's legitimate government, is somehow a fair price to charge patients?

Not one patient I know like myself who's on disability can afford their medicine. Someone always says there are dispensaries that help low income patients, I sure haven't found any near me.

In fact here are a few comments from a dispensary in Needles, CA; "You just go ahead and try out your green thumb genius. Then come back and beg me again for your meds", and "As usual, you're full of it. If you knew people who grow cannabis you wouldn't be begging me for some".

It's about money, not helping patients.

I have and am growing plants right now. I don't want weed at any cost. I want it at no cost, dumbass. Your arrogance and assumptions make it clear you are poorly informed, severly retarded, and probably brainwashed. Weed is a drug whose physical attributes will not change because politicians sign some fucking papers. No ones talking about total legalization. Only in California. For now. Why are thousands of people dieing every month in the southwest and Mexico? Because weed is illegal. And people like you feed and inflate black market drug trafficking. Brought to you in part by pharmaceutical companies, cartels, and greedy politicians and government agencies. Stop whining like a little bitch and do something productive.

slay, maybe you need to read dreamdusts comment once more, because you seemed to totaly misunderstand, furthermore, you have never touched or grown a plant in your life, endusers like you who just want weed at any cost need to shut their mouth, If you are too blind to see that they want to turn weed into just another product you are even dumber than your comment made you sound like.

@Slay: I don't think you got 163's and dreamdust's point. Illegal hemp has produced its own (sub-)culture, while legalization will probably lead to the corporationalisation of this sacred healing herb. While I'm sure the herb will outlive capitalism by millennia, big agricultural business is a damn sad state of affairs ...

they're gonna need some good security at that place

Are you fucking shitting me? Both of you need to shut up and stop listening to the government. Or whatever it is you're doing terribly wrong. There are zero social, economic, or cultural downsides to legalization in California. Do you understand the pharmacological differences between cannabis and methamphetmine? Decriminalizing the latter would bring about "the destruction of a whole culture," like you are saying. Regardless of whether legalizing marijuana is to have the ramifications you claim it will, what in god's name makes you think American culture is worth the hemp its "legislative framework" was printed on?

Legalization will bring about the destruction of a whole culture in the process of commodifying ganja.

absolutley detestable, fuck "legalization"
