Legal Weed Good Or Bad?
The Episode
Cannabis is pretty much every where now, in every major city you can think of and even little towns all across the nation. This can be the cannabis your familiar with or the hemp derived cannabis that has been recently added to the mix. What if I told you legalization was never for you or I, yes we’ll benefit by the consumption but there is a bigger picture to take a look at. That’s what we’re going to do with Ben Austin in today’s episode.
It wasn’t always like this cannabis used to be more like medicine because it was originally legalized as medicine. Over the years the large interests have moved in and with it came a whole new product line. Ben and I have been involved with cannabis, it’s derivatives and as activists for many many years. We have seen and experienced the many changes we will talk about and with it point out some serious issues associated with them.
There’s a flood of interest as legalization looms over the nation but no one is pointing out the obvious, why now. To begin to understand why now is the best time we have to take a closer look at the past and follow the money. It is the main driving force that has built an enormous amount of momentum to date and is ready to consume everything in it’s path.
Understanding The Issues
Cannabis works like magic, over the years we have seen countless stories and evidence that suggests we are still missing large pieces of the puzzle in that we don’t know enough about how it works. Stories go back to the early years of Rick Simpson Oil or RSO who famously rid himself of cancer using a cannabinoid recipe, you may have heard of this as it garnered so much attention. While we know all this and more we continuously see the over commercialization of the industry, many who were small participants were forced out using regulation and compliance measures.
The large entities now have incredible room to grow and swallow up market share with little or no resistance. The result in just a few years has shown that what used to be medicine is now no more useful than opioids. We see this directly with the genetic manipulation of the cannabis crops, there isn’t any dominant strains left, everything is a hybrid and more importantly whats missing is the medicine the cannabinoids.
It goes deeper when we look at how grow ops have established themselves in multiple angles of industry, from cultivation, to lab testing to extraction. We really don’t know for sure how many conflicts of interest exist in this cluster fuck of special interests.
There many issues these are just a few we spoke about but we discussed quite a bit in this hour and half long episode.
Thanks for the ears, eyes and your time.
