The Golden Age of Cannabis

[floralheart]

This is the golden age of cannabis.

Many of the underground have moved to medical friendly states, or their state has become medical friendly, and many of the underground multi-generational collections of the past 30 years are coming to the surface of the cannabis community.

Europe had a comfortable lead and went to sleep. The europeans are still strain hunting landrace like it was the 70's, meanwhile in the red, white and blue, decades of weird strains created, crossed, collected and coveted are coming to the surface of the commercial market.

If a lot of europeans were honest when it came to their strain hunting net shows, they'd show them scouring the most fertile and exotic land cannabis has to offer, the American west coast.

This is the golden age of cannabis.

yes the usa has taken the lead for now,but if history has taught us anything, it has taught us that things can change very quickly. the united kingdom is at the moment looking at how other country's are dealing with the the increase in weed being grown at home.
with the prime minister david cameron saying that the police are not looking for people growing a few plants for themselves,but concentrating on the commercial growers growing house full's at a time.the commercial growers in the uk are more times than not linked to organised crime !
i have also read that there was a directive to the judges in england, wales and northern ireland,not sure about scotland.that when presented with offenders for growing cannabis ,providing they could prove commercial growing was not taking place ie ,under a reasonable amount of plants(up to about 20 at different stages of growth) i think,personal use,and famously medical use,not to throw them in prison anymore.
it is not an ideal situation,but i would say, the risk of going to prison has been reduced for growers to a sort of fair limit.
commercial growers know the risks and profits the world over and will never change,
legal or not!
so i for one am looking forward to some new rules(even more relaxed than now)
when the government hears back from the rest of europe including holland and especially portugal ,where i believe all drugs are or have been decriminalised or similar.which by the way seems to be working well.the simple fact is that we used to import 80% about 20 years ago.but now we grow 80%.and if anything the quality has gone up,which is also better for us.
the moral to this story is everybody does it differently .my guess would be that the usa also destrory's more weed than any other country as well ,with all the money in foreign aid it gives to try to stop growers growing.so sadly it is a double edge sword.
you put a lot in ,but do you take more out?
we sadly are a step behind for now.but that could and should change soon! peace to all
