'H.R. 420' is a proposed bill that would regulate marijuana like alcohol

Well, I just GOTTA' say it: with "Flippy Nipples" and "Fluffy Pancakes" both on this thread it's like walking into a IHOP from Hell. But I loves ya' both!

Now that's funny right there!

As to the regulation issue, don't confuse my issues as being against good product, as that isn't the case at all. I'm just for direct trade between growers and producers on ALL food and herbal items.

There's a thing the French have dubbed terroir. It doesn't mean terror, it means the energy of the place in which something is grown or produced. That is something that cannot be written into regulations. And it's an artisan thing, definitely not a commercial thing.

If someone wants to get their medicine from a particular person who grows a particular way, I see no reason to put hurdles in front of those people.

Washington state has been successfully regulating marijuana through the newly re-named "Liquor and Cannabis Control Board" for about 3 years now. There is no authorization for "Grow at home", and the present system allows tracking of all marijuana from grower to consumer. And the State raked in over $350 million in extra tax revenue over the last two years. The majority of that extra tax income goes to education, health care for state residents, and rebuilding the infrastructure in Washington state. Some of the money is also being used for drug education.

Oh and BTW, deaths attributed to opioid abuse are down 25% in states that have decriminalized marijuana. Most states also show a lower rate of marijuana usage by teenagers in states that have decriminalized marijuana use. My guess CKP is that you must work for an entity that produces and/or sells opioids.
