Oh please.... Don't tell me GMO buds.... and if they cross contaminate your strain then they own it and prosecute you for growing it.

bleh....we just lost the GMO moratorium for Maui. guess most people don't care about poisoning the land or mega-corporations tampering with our food anymore here in hawaii. looks like soon companies like Monsanto will be tainting the cannabis breeding pool with their patented genetics before long unless we're smart to it, and do something about it
I think the Maui bill passed and will be challenged in court by the big companies.

It is a sad day for Americans when corporate America can challenge the will of the people.
I really hope this fails because Hawaii is one of the last places I want Monsanto running.
They have trashed many states and now want Hawaii. They have plants setting empty in some states because they can't close them due to the toxic state of the earth below their plants. here is "their" list but it does NOT show the ones sitting empty, only paroled by guards.

Just heard this morning that there was a court injunction Friday temporarily stopping implementation of the referendum that was passed by voters on November 4th. Stay tuned.

Once Monsanto get involved, you know it will be legal in all states, which is good for legalization - they see the MONEY to be made, that's what pass "bills" for legalization. Money payed out to Congress, ect for their votes -money can buy just about anything - Happiness ????

There's no way Monsanto will be able to take over home growers. They won't be able to claim anyone growing most strains stole their genetics because of how diligently breeders have been documenting what they have been growing and crossing already. Sure, they could patent their own strains, but they won't be able to take yours away from you, it's already been documented.

Monsanto will control a monopoly, or at least be a big player in an oligopoly, but not by the means described above.

The federal govt holds the patent to ALL marijuana medical uses. They can simply lease that patent to monsanto and poof. Nobody else can legally grow or sell medical marijuama. You will have to buy tagged seeds from them, and they will be prosecuting anyone who sells either untagged, or unlicensed product.

Don't think trump will do it? You haven't been paying attention. All monsanto has to do is give his family a share and its a done deal.

Yes, it's sad but it's been going on now longer than we know or care to admit. Money talks now more than ever and fuck the US citizen. The "terrorists" should be targeting corporations since they are now the new power.

Don't Monsanto run gh now? I mean I read about this not too long ago, forgot what site I got it from, but if its true what if they plan on creating a nutrient base that kill of any strain that isn't genetically modified by Monsanto?
It said that 99% gmo seeds that are grown around the world belong to Monsanto, I could be wrong which I'm hoping that i am but isn't Monsanto the same guys that cause poverty in India with their promise of genetically modified cotton seeds to be drought resistance and pest resistance and more yields for little ferts?

the "terrorists" are on a more on a national level. fighting to stay on a national level and internationally recognized they believe the west represents the corporations and the banks and the white worlds governments. the terrorists want to play the game just like the owners of the banks and corporations and their money.
personally while i see how cops represent the government that sent them i don't believe the way to strike the government for what it stands for is to strike it's police or least of all it's citizens with violence. but that is the power these groups feel they have so it remains an option and a tactic where few options and tactics exist. it should be considered a war crime to commit homicide on civilians but all the big armys do it.

From my understanding phillip morris owns a few hundred acres in the hills of the green triangle in California. I believe they bought it shortly after prop 215 passed back in the day.
Ya, I get a good laugh at these growers thinking they can stop big money from coming in. When its federally legal for banks to accept mmj cash, they will come in hard and heavy. Until then, regional growers can do ok.

When big money comes in, the corps will go for quantity only. They need scale for their models to work.

Regional growers will shift to filling niche demands and still be successful. They dont need large scale, just higher product values.

Capitalism will play out, and everything will be fine after the adjustment.

Well it seems that a bunch of you folks were dead on with your predictions, here we are in 2019 and it is a shit show for sure.
Anyone have any more news?
What is up with Agritek Holdings, Inc. (AGTK) these days?
I am pretty sure it is Bayer that has Cannabis research labs in Canada maybe other too.
 
Agritek Holdings, Inc. (AGTK)
In July, the company announced a $400,000 cash infusion from a private equity fund(Monsanto) in order to expand its Mont Blunt™ marketing campaign and begin building out its Colorado-based agricultural facility.
A few days following that announcement, the company executed a long-term lease agreement of an additional 40 acres in Pueblo, Colorado, bringing its total land holdings to over 120 acres zoned for its planned agricultural and cultivation facility located in Pueblo County, Colorado. In addition, AGTK executed a long-term non-federal water rights contract for 10 years, which gives it a distinct advantage in attracting tenants.
By profiting from both the growing and distribution of high-grade cannabis products, the company provides investors with a unique legal way to capitalize(monopolize) on the industry.
Our scalable model will allow us develop a long term strategy of building a real property asset portfolio in key jurisdictions including Washington State and Nevada

Thing are being put into place as we speak!

Agritek Holdings, Inc. (AGTK)
The Company's CEO B. Michael Friedman was featured in a one on one interview with CBS News on Friday, May 23, 2014 discussing Florida's new medical marijuana legislation. Mr. Friedman was invited on the featured segment to discuss the Company's role in Florida regarding new pending medical cannabis legislation and the 20 acres of agricultural land zoned for nursery and the potential use of the property should legislation move forward within the state.

So it seems clear to me the plan is to monopolize Florida Colorado Washington and Nevada.
Then the world......is this not what history has show to be true??
