Indeed it will, this whole fake legalization is a cover to demonize cannabis again.

yea 10 pieces of shit tried to steal the whole market in Ohio in 2015 but people are smarter than the cynical bastards think especially after they pissed away $28 million trying to create a new form of criminalization where those without licenses would formally be labeled child endagerers if Ian James and Chris Stock and Progress Ohio got their corrupt way.

Thanks man, I'm happy you like the flag design and we're going to be doing a large version on a big signboard for the event :)
I may tidy up the Trojan horse meme and use it to help Australians learn what's coming, but by the sounds of it 'they' intend to sweep the world with this fake legalization!
We're on the side of Liberty and of course the plant... we're on the right side.

You got that right. I strive to die with a clear conscience knowing I fought hard for freedom and the Earth while I was here.

Yeap your right, this plant is no longer treated like a the sacred plant it is! Defiantly and end of an era, no more wild west of cannabis. I live in California and our medical law was damn near perfect! Go to a office pay 30-60 dollars, also you can do it online, and bam you where legal!! The state allowed you to grow 6 flowering plants, and 12 vegin plants, and where allowed to posses up to 8oz of dried flower. But some countys had there own limits. Santa Cruz County, which is next to the one I live in allowed you to grow 99 plants, and posses up to 3lbs of flower! Now the medical law still lets you posses up to 8oz, but the only real benefit to have a medical card is to pay less taxes at the clubs! Its almost has vanished with recreational in effect.
Now the greenhouses are popping up left and right in the valleys and growing a mediocre product. Its become more expensive to buy for the consumer, and the growers are getting less for their product. Such a shame if you ask me. Im thankful I grow my own, and also thankful i dont have to rely on growing for a living. But I fell for those that do. My heart goes out to them.
But unfortunately this was all inevitable. But I know this is not what we signed up for. We all checked yes on that ballot box with our fingers crossed hoping for the best. I know one thing this is going to be very interesting to see how it plays out.

Amazing blog! I saw the facebook status directly from the president Justin Trudeau and I think it is a brilliant move. Eradicate the whole drug dealing issue in the country plus ample amount of opportunities for Cannabis Cultivators. :-) More revenue for the government and people are going to be happy when they smoke the puff. Haha! I hope they will use it wisely and the revenue will be spent for the greater good. I might even move to this country very soon.
In India, weed was legal till 1985 and the government banned it very recently. Bad move! Although we still get it very easily in many parts of India and many people use it for recreational and medicinal purposes. And I can proudly say it is the best in the world. :) There is a village called Malana in the heat of Himalayas, where we get creamiest of Hashish and it's freaking dope @elamental. You gotta try it if possible :-)
It is an integral part of Hindu culture and considered to be a Godly plant that has so many medicinal properties. I am planning to make a short documentary of cannabis culture in India as well, maybe later this year. People are now getting aware of the uses of cannabis and I hope it gets legalized very soon, considering we follow most of the things that west does. :') Cheers man!

I have heard Hashish from that part of the world has a very unique flavor due to the rare and unique soil composition in the area. Although you may have to put up some photos of flowers side by side with what we grow in Oregon, I have seen buds here that I consider among the best in the world. The area in Oregon we grow in is referred to as "God's country" by all the farmers there, cannabis or otherwise. It resides in an ancient volcanic lava flow strip.

Lovely pictures. Governance should stay out of our lives.. but I suppose legalization will be good for quality control and competition.. Though.. fuck the government.

What I found here in the free market for cannabis is that regulation actually pushes prices up and quality down. The free market is the force that naturally encourages price/quality competitiveness and innovation.

What a sad day for Oregonians now that the Oregon Liquor Control Commission is in charge.
Now you have to register with the state and have police walkthroughs...
Wow. What a way to roll back protection for patients.
And college kids now can buy essential medicine before patients. Let alone them being able to afford and buy it out from under the patients.
This is past sad. And we need to fight back.

Um there are numerous uses for medical alcohol. If you use Cannabis for insomnia and i use alcohol how is it your use is medical and mine is not? I hated Canada's medical pot program, it was a special club to grow money for people who knew how to exploit the system. No more two tier system. It should be legal for all adults.
The market will decide if consumers want mass produced cigarette company weed or organic. It's going to cost more and if people want it they will pay more for it. If Oregon became a hub for weed growers exporting to other states, that's the fault of prohibition, Canada won't have that problem, there is nowhere left to export/smuggle it to.
Also full disclosure: I am applying for jobs at new dispensaries opening in my city in Canada.

Can you please name some medicinal benefits of drinking alcohol in large quantities? I can name many for consuming large amounts of cannabis products on a regular basis. Also, what diseases does alcohol cure/prevent? I can think of a few it causes for sure.
