The "tax+regulate" crowd are so eager to capitulate not knowing that that could mean that it's taxed more than tobacco by weight and less available, as in Canada. Be careful what you wish for. A return to #PreCriminalization is all we want. No more, no less. Be wise, #Depenalize

My partners have been gathering seed from Hindu Kush hash farmers for us to clean up and distribute. The US will be flooded with a metric tonne of these classics next spring. They'll be the most affordable beans on the market, by a mile. Stay tuned!

The cannabis industry is thousands of years old. I shudder when I hear people call it a new industry. It is probably one of the very oldest industries on the planet. One century of prohibition does not negate the preceding millenia of commerce in cannabis.
