Marijuana Is Surely Too Good To Be Fighting Over

Certainly high time it is that the weed is getting political support from the likes of possible President Hillary Clinton and Vice President hopeful Sarah Palin. In troubled political times, perhaps the weed may provide bargaining clout to sway voters and we seem to have something to fight over all the time. The Schedule I status of marijuana certainly needs to be scaled down. Marijuana belongs to the same bracket as LSD, heroin and ecstasy under the Controlled Substances Act. That indicates no accepted medical use and prospective abuse. Times are changing. Now that an overwhelming majority of Americans at 59% believe that marijuana should be legalized, we are getting closer to the truth. Can anybody deny the medical benefits that should be reason enough? Let us get it done once and for all. Throw the gates open for both recreational and medical. Let the age limit remain or we would have a nation of pot addicts thought many teenagers would be puffing away all right, or eating, vaping and drinking it.

Let us go the Colorado way

Now that two years have passed since Colorado Okayed recreational marijuana, no regrets, but elation is now witnessed among the state voters. Yet it is not unanimous. About 55% of voters think the legalization has been a good deal while 39% do not think it was a good choice. As might be expected, 60% of the men think marijuana is good, but 45% of the women support it. Younger people are more supportive rather than the aged. Money has the final word with Colorado receiving tax revenues to the tune of $70 million during the last financial year. Strangely enough, the state collected more than what is considered legal and though of returning some of the money to the citizens. However, the state authorities will keep the money as approved by the state voters.

Florida too will grow medical marijuana

The world waits and waits and some places are getting lucky like Florida where five businesses will set up nurseries to grow medical marijuana. Each of them needs a $5 million performance bond within 10 days. The growers will be the first ever to distribute legal marijuana around the state. We must consider them lucky in view of the vast profits that wait in the world that is never short of the sick. Seizures and cancers are high on the list and non-euphoric marijuana varieties will treat such cases. If you must know who the five lucky ones are, the bidding process brought up Costa Nursery Farms, Alpha Foliage, Knox Nursery, Hackney Nursery Company and Chestnut Hill Tree Farm, according to regions that they represent. Good Luck, guys!
