1. I am not an American citizen therefor I seem to share no patriotic connection with the way your government works or your country. (although i do like America)
The government is of the people, the citizens of America, by the people, voted by the citizens of America, for the people... you guessed it for the CITIZENS of America!
Just because you call up your local governing leader you will not automatically mean that you will be smoking sweet MJ in a few years time. Be realistic man.
People have been arguing this case for years. (anyone with a grow I would suggest not being involved in a petition to government bodies as this would have you appear on the radar so to speak).
Do you really think that if the government were to legalise the production of marijuana that they would just say 'hey man no problem. Grow it, make it look more pottent by spraying a deadly chemical on it and we have a deal.'
The reason homegrown is so good is because you are taking care of the plant, giving it everything it needs and not pumping it full of shite!
Think of the way wheat is treated... Birds crap on it, insects crawling all over it... sprayed with pesticides right... washed away by the rain and then taken to process... to be honest what will they do with the MJ. Spray it with pesticides... if the government didnt intervene maybe youd be smoking something deadly then again you probably still will.
To think that the government would have no say in the production of something they have 1 disagreed with for years and 2 that if done semi-right (as most governments look for the half arsed approach) will bring them lots of money.
Thats all the government sees the public as... not the people but its customers trust me i work for brittish gov!
Nobody is scared of the Government I just find it unlikely that you will be able to potition over half of every voter that voted every congressman etc into power to say... Hey give us some weed.
Dude ur sitting with a group of dogs. Unfortunately your just barking up the wrong tree.
Or the right one depends on how you would like to look at it.
