Shoot is shit with two O's .

@Fernie Now as for prescription drug commercial's , There's way to damn many of them as children get ideas from them

@Paschar That is right! It also convinces hypochondriacs that they NEED that drug...anyone can tell a doctor they have the symptoms, etc. ..and they still demonize marijuana

@Fernie I have to use marijuana as a pain killer and get this " Mine is a Government Approved prescription , Damn Strong stuff to

Big Brother is getting his cut of the pie , Trust me .

@Paschar I have some very strong feelings on this subject. I use it to help with joint pain. I knew the instant "Big Brother" got it's greedy, filthy hands on it that everything would change. Medical marijuana is now all about profit and greed. I tried it. The price is obscene, there are NO seeds to be able to grow the 6 legal plants...you have to pay for seeds now....I have boycotted it. I am not going to pay for their overhead, profit or anything else. I still try to find "street vendors" where the price is reasonable and there are seeds. That is becoming more and more difficult too. When here in Massachusetts, they finally open recreational weed stores...the street vendors will once again become criminals because they'll be cutting into the governments profits and they do not like that. I am not going to buy it anymore if I get my hands on some seeds. If the government touches it...it turns toxic...no matter what it is

@Fernie Of Course , That seems to be their job which brings a Carlin joke to mind

Don't steel from the Government , They hate competition . Now here in California we have what is known as Coffee shops that deal in nothing but marijuana and the prices are somewhat reasonable but I also get a large part of mine flown in from Vietnam with dozens of seeds , I make use of it all in the underground bunker out of the sight of my children as they have no knowledge of it .

@Paschar They DO hate competition and they'll destroy any. That is a nice setup you have there Paschar. I'm sure it's quality too. I'm a tiny bit envious of the seeds. It is so ironic..I've been buying it since '66 and I remember ALL the times I felt so ripped off because my purchase was SO full of seeds...I know they usually had a coffee can filled with seeds and would toss a handful in to give the bag more weight. Now I can't get my hands on any. ha! Massachusetts is still so anal and archaic...and so far behind...it would be lovely to sit in a café and ....relax.
