I know a lot of growers personally, and many of my grower buds are disabled themselves. If growing becomes a worthless business, or the state doesn’t want to buy from home growers at street value, a LOT of otherwise chill people that I know are going to be forced into poverty.

The system has it’s flaws. Murders, laced bags, and rip-off should not be defended, but the majority of the weed community around where I live (Portland, Oregon) don’t kill people, they don’t rip people off, and they don’t lace bags.

I honestly think that the only feasible resolution is decriminalization. Basic decriminalization. Let the growers sell, let the buyers buy, but govern it’s use like alcohol. No smoking and driving. No smoking indoors. No public intoxication.

Other matters could be addressed separately like alcohol. No working while intoxicated; even if it is on lunch breaks. The only people who would be opted out of those laws would be Oregon Marijuana card holders, but they’d still need to abide by most of them as a courtesy punishable by a small misconduct ticket.

Honestly, the responsible smoker works an average 9 to 5 job and saves his two days off a week to smoke out, accounting for a drowsy, do-nothing period afterward.

The responsible grower only grows enough plants to support his clients, doesn’t sell to kids, and usually won’t sell less than a half an ounce at a time to any party.

Not everyone is responsible about it; but that’s mostly because everything has to be kept completely shady because it is illegal. Remove the legality concern, and growers would be able to spend more time tending to the plants, produce better weed, and safely distribute it all while earning an income they likely wouldn’t be able to achieve all-be-it by disability, or pure laziness.

There’s nothing wrong with growing cannabis, and for those who find a sense of career satisfaction; that’s only because they enjoy what they do. Anything else would seem like a downgrade.

fucking whats wrong with it. yeah we got hustla’s but we also have deaths coz of drug deals gonna wrong.

i would much rather go buy it in a liquor store and get a fat ass or legit bag than some skimpy ass shit bag or a bag thats possibly laced with something.

and in doing so it would lower the crime rate on teh streets and possibly the number of deaths due to drug deals and robberies.

Yes, people may try robbing liquor stores for teh weed but you know what…PEOPLE ALREADY ROB THEM AND THEY DONT EVEN HAVE WEED KNOW SO WHATS TEH DIFFERANCE?

exactly nothing you ignorant fuck… put teh bong down and get a grip on reality.. you stupid numb nut dip shit ass fucker!
