@thugpoet78a I know all about cbd,and thca and I dont get what u dis agree with about my statement.I was saying higher grade herb is not more dangerous as they claim, rather that its better cause you can get irie with less smoke.

[thugpoet78a]

@easystar777 that is not true thc % alone does not get you high people, the way other cannabinoids interact with it, that's what gets you high... and thc does not exists in the plant unless you heat THCA...

[easystar777]

the high thc simply means one can take a puff instead of smoking 20 dirt weed joints all day .It cuts down on the amount of smoke going through the lungs.

haven't they got enough things to keep them busy, like protecting our streets, helping bring peace to society, corruption cleared... no? oh ok, so lets go for the growers then... I for one am disgusted at many a use of my tax money... this is just the tip of the iceberg. why can't I grow my plants? because I would threaten so many more things than my health - poor could be richer, oil companies could be poorer... we just need these old fools to die off... roll on next generation!

the only reason the feds are getting involved is because of greed. they dont care if it helps people - which it does and that fed guy say it harmful to people that use it has no qlue whats up- all the brainwashing they do - It help people and its helped me with pain for one. It has helped me lose weight Natural adjust your metabolic rate - I lost 75 lbs without exercise and diet ingesting the oil. I was going bald and my hair is growing back thicker and my grey hair is gone away.

The Feds are trying to save us from the harm caused by a herb that has killed no one!

[CannabisPhilosopher]

Lol smart cop. Making 50 bucks a plant yet can't guarantee their safety anyway as it's illegal on federal lvl lol.

Sounds like just another scam.

[SneddyRocks]

It is absolutely assinine to think that people are flooding doctors offices etc.for medicinal cannabis. Many many people have already suffered for years and used cannabis illegally for medicinal purposes. I am in fact one of those people being diagnosed with PTSD decades ago and have used cannabis dependably since 1984 for that and other inherited diseases. It is time to get real and quit this foolish game with humanity over greed and manipulation for the ultra rich on the planet. WAKE UP!!!

My cousin lives in Mendocino County.

At least 80% of the weed grown there is sold out of the state.
