Overgrow.

@TheDangerMouseUK yeah, and in the video for the first three seconds, it's spelled Naom instead of Noam

[DgurlSunshine]

sabotage of the Hemp Industries IS WHAT PROHIBITION WAS....PROFITING BIG PHARMA!

Excellent video. Love it. Mari-hu-ana will never be legal. The liquor lobby bribes the politicians to keep it illegal. A better high with no hangover would be detrimental to the profits of both the lobby and the legislators. Besides, it can be grown for free by anyone, after all it's just a weed. But, don't start using it, it's way too expensive now.

a wolf in sheeps clothes, or just ignorant?...

[vilenessfest]

So when is congress going to pass Bill hr 2306 which would end marijuana prohibition. Or will they continue to make the DEA rich with billions of taypayers dollars. Seems our presidents, politicians, congress enjoy jailing american citizens for growning/using a weed while keeping drug dealers in a successful business. Marijuana once grew everywhere and there was no drug problem. Anslinger's curse created it. Our government continues the lie.

Plus, the average dispensary generates $300,000/monthly. I used to work in one. The Man loves the taxes, cause those funds can be dumped into more plant engineering, better strains, higher "highs", infrastructure, more security financing (new MMJ dispensary surveillance laws and the tech contracts associated with it), and more moooolah. Weed is a rich man's game.

[Bodhidharma1986]

I think the federal interest in developing strains that are called ""better than nature", which means they get you even higher than the stuff in the wild, just means weed is being enhanced just to dumb people down I think. Make no mistake, I smoke it too and frequently. Who needs weed stronger than what Nature itself/herself can provide? I think people have the right to smoke or do whatever they like. I just think weed is a rich man's game now. It's not for stoners, it's engineering and money.
