I love the snow pic! You really live in a beautiful place...I must admit I was a bit sorry to see PRop 19 go down in the US due to similar feelings I suspect, people not wanting to loose their livlihood, fear of the larger business/corporation, etc, but really our herb is one that needs love and attention, and I think it shows in the weed you buy and the weed you grow and smoke. Nothing I get really compares, unless I have been given it by another grower, even decent strains can come out better with the right grower giving the right love. I suspect this is the same with seeds!
I really think if Cali had gone for it there would have been a split in commerical strains and high grade specially grown strains...that exists in the alcohol industry today as well. Ah well. Off to see the girls and give em some juice.

Prop 19 = "Control, Tax and Regulate Marijuana"...the name says it all...It had NOTHING to do with legalization...a scam to benefit the very few, and designed to protect those few from competition. The power given to local jurisdictions to control, regulate and tax...would make a few bureaucrat jobs in the places where they would fee the f out of people, but keep it prohibited in the more conservative Cities and towns...like all of Socal. It created additional canna crimes and did nothing to help get our brothers and sisters out of an over crowded prison system that the governor proposes to alleviate by releasing property crime offenders. Prop 19 was veiled modified prohibition supported by AgBizz and their speculating investors.
Thanks to our neighbors from the North and South we already have a split in high grade medical grade cannabis (some at least previously cali-cut-only)...low grade commercial mex...and mid-grade commercial Big Bud from the great white north...but thankfully no GMO patented seed designed to insert genetics in non patented seed like they have done to corn and soybeans in Mexico and India.
