Well....that certainly put a stop to ignorance and off topic replys.
No one has anything half way intelligent to say?

What, by keeping Medical Grade illegal? That's your definition of peoples' rights?Im not saying that peoples rights shouldn't be given back to them?!?! WTF?
Very messed up thinking, there. It's not free, it IS currently regulated by an authority (illegal, remember) and the Fed's regulation is what you rely on for your profits. Like all Black Marketeers, you profit on people's misery. It night upset you to realize this, because you probably think you're a right-on guy, but nevertheless that's how it is.It IS a free market right now. It is not regulated by any authority when I grow it and I can charge whatever I want.
Thats why its called the Black Market.
That IS a free market, you just don't like it because it don't look too rosy for you. The goverment doesn't tell you what to charge, charge $10000 an elbow if you like. The market tells you what to charge. Remember the market? If the other guy doesn't like your price he walks.Who is the government to tell me what I can and cannot charge. Legalized it, and this is what happened. Controlled. regulated, and taxed! Thats not a free market.

What you want is not legalization, it's decriminalization, get it right.
What total rubbish, where do you get that idea from?Legalizing it is gonna screw way more people than it's gonna help.
Millions? Who are your millions?Sure, there will be less people in jail but millions will be out of a source of income.
Millions? Who are your millions?
As for a source of income, I think "millions" of hemp farmers in Vermont, Minnesota and Kentucky (amongst the other 49 states - oh, OK, maybe not Florida...) will be quite pleased.
Oh alright, but this thread is more about hemp and Vermont's stance.I'm not talking about hemp here, I'm talking about weed producing high levels of THC.
That's your understanding of decrim, is it?Do you know what decriminalization means?
It means your average joe could grow as many plants as he wants and wouldn't have to pay taxes.
Just like tomatoes
I have no idea what you are on about, are you in some way dissatisfied with the way business is conducted in the US today, or something?But hemp is a business and businesses have to pay taxes anyway.
So they're most likely gonna have to pay 2 bills.
1 for their business and 1 for the hemp they grow which is complete crap.

But since that doesn't impact on small growers, then what's the problem here?
You seem to be making a case for legalization being a bad thing.
WHY?
Because some large scale farmer may have to pay some extra duty?
Is that really your problem?
Why on earth is that your problem????!!!No, my problem is that billion dollars corporations are gonna take control of the weed market.
Why on earth is that your problem????!!!
The big corporations always cater for the mass market.
I think you are making a mistake here, the "average Joe" is the buyer, not the seller/grower. And he has the right to buy from wherever he pleases.there's not gonna be much money left to be made for the average joes.
That may not be a bad thing, if ripping people off was the job of these "millions". Maybe they can find honest employment in the hemp sector.A few thousand growers will be able to sell their high quality product but millions are still gonna lose their jobs.
No one is holding you down.This is my last reply.

But it also applies to hemp.
