I agree with Jim as well, and definitely hear you “outlaw” growers.
I grew up in the Emerald Triangle, and live here currently. I listen to KMUD community radio a lot (check it out!-

and they really support “legacy” growers and drive home the point that legalization really was all about the squares getting to screw the golden goose, too, and now her eggs aren’t so golden anymore.
It’s a pretty complicated issue, I think, but really, that’s what crapitalism does- you gotta consume more and more to make sure your crap pile is taller than the next person so you can sit high enough to enjoy the sunshine.
Okay, enough metaphors.
Hypocrisy just really pisses me off, though we all have a touch of it.
I’m tired of living in a predatory universe.
And conservatives need to just take off their facade and admit they are just the literal soldiers of entropy and the status quo.
Capitalism is just a fancy word for feudalism.
I’m privileged and I know it, but I don’t seek fortune by taking from others. Overall I think people in our community of folks who enjoy the effects of pot have more empathy.
And to those who grow it only to sell it, and never enjoy it personally, I say, “Have a toke, and get off that wheel for a few, and look at your surroundings. What will you take with you when you die?”
Good morning, folks!
