Cool. It's Thursday 10 p.m. Eastern here but its not on
Damn Discovery channel canada. I'll have to check it out and see if I can find it online.Thanks for sharing.
its a good show; shows how the fed is trying to eliminate the industry it could bring.
It'll cut in on:
Paper; it's 4x more productive than trees to produce paper.
Fibers; It's stronger and more durable than cotton. Cotton industry was originally in on prohibition of weed; which was really a way to end competition in the industry and create a monopoly.
and both of those are hemp products; it'd take a joint the size of a telephone pole to get high on fiber weed.
Medical; the most versatile resourceful plant in the industry has numerous health gains from the most complete protein hemp seed oil; better than soy. To the CBD benefits for and antiviral benefits along with numerous physiological problems that have major benefits for patients.
Competition and special interest have kept it out of the way for years. Hemp was enjoyed for several years after the constitution....
oh well; if we were like other nations we would keep our government in check, but instead corporations and banks control it.

i've been checking it out, and just read another thread started by harborside themselves, and people in that thread were really bashing the crap out of the show, but i've been digging it for the most part..
i'll openly admit that i'm not the biggest fan of the mmj movement, and just wish that they'd simply legalize it instead of making it mmj is all.. the only thing i hate about the show is how everyone is a cancer patient, has aids, etc.. whatever happened to getting stoned?? but this really has nothing to do with the show honestly, just my own bs..
other than the in your face "everyone's a cancer patient" shit, i dig the show, and it really does show how the gvt is out to shut down the mj movement anyway they can. for christs sake, on tonights episode, they want them to pay $1.1mil in taxes, for the upcoming year, who ever heard of such bs??

I think the whole stoner aspect of mj is why they are trying to push medical mj out.
I mean how can you tell me its a medicine when you have 150 different kinds of the same "medicine" in every flavor, color, and size. Pharmacy's aren't selling flavored Oxycontin and colored Vicodin. Now don't get me wrong I'm all for medical but I just don't see how they can claim its medicine but not treat it as such.

Yeah, the show is bringing awareness of cannabis as a valuable medicine for the seriously ill. So it's not so concerned with showing skaters and gangbangers getting high on the corner.

Different strains of MJ should have at least partially different medical effects depending on their exact cannabinoid ratios. The type that's good for muscle spasticity might not be as good for appetite stimulation, for example. Even so, I think you ought to be able to get the full spectrum of available effects with only a modest number of carefully chosen strains. But just because you could, doesn't mean that anyone should be forced to. How many brands of aspirin can you find on the shelf at a typical pharmacy? At least a few. So what's wrong with that?
Even given legitimate medical use, and similar effects, some users may prefer one strain over another due to taste, cost, or other factors. I don't see more choice as a "bad" thing here.
Now in terms of medical marijuana in general, I think we all know that not everyone using "medical" marijuana really has a defined medical condition that only responds to cannabis, or even that they are sick at all. Shh. . .some "medical marijuana" users are just getting stoned. There I said it.
Whether that's true or not, politically speaking, medical marijuana is sort of the camel's nose under the tent, so to speak.
If true use of medical marijuana becomes widely accepted, that demystifies the drug. If the public at large sees marijuana in widespread use by responsible functional adults who hold jobs, pay taxes, and don't abuse it, that will go a long way towards improving public perceptions of the drug, and likewise increase likelihood of more generalized decriminalization.

Good show! They didn't "forget" to pay their taxes--they pay them--the idiot's wanting the 1.1 mill (a year's taxes in advance) are tryin to shut them down.
