best part about this response is several white collar industries needed to/need to drop their anti-weed policies in order to attract talent.
Sound good? No? Okay, fine, don't work here.
I know of a couple of growers through others. They told me about the chemicals, and that they are probably going out of business soon. "Big Marijuana" is taking over and driving prices too low they say.Once again your true to your username. The worst thing about pot these days is all the chemicals. The stuff coming from Colorado and such is so much better than the good stuff I got in high school. Its not laced with drugs they just know how to grow it now. They use a shit ton of fertilizers, pesticides, weed killers, rodent killers, etc. No telling what harm the new stuff will cause.
Most grow operations are inside a controlled environment and pretty self contained. Although pesticides are used sometimes and fertilizers are used a lot. It is common practice to stop the use of these in the last weeks of production and flush them out of the weed. If sold to a dispensary it'll be tested and a grower that sells stuff over certain limits will be blacklisted and will have to go back to the illegal drug trade.Once again your true to your username.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...o-end-policy-that-let-legal-pot-flourish.htmlA friend of mine told me Congress put a DOJ policy in place to prevent prosecution, or spending federal money on it at least, which Trump is trying to rescind. Not sure if that is true or not, but it would make sense as to why the boys in black wind breakers don't walk into any Colorado/California dispensary and confiscate every ounce of weed in the joint.
Either way it doesn't make sense. Federal law > State law and that drug carries some harsh penalties. You won't find me on the pier doing bong rips with my wait staff at PF Changs.
As for the employers, it's always been the same. Sure, you can work here, but you can't smoke weed and work here and if I test you and you're positive, you're going to be fired. Sound good? No? Okay, fine, don't work here.

It looks like Australia wants to be a big exporter.

Depends on the situation. I know people who will use either as a crutch but the pot costs them a lot more and puts them into a shady lifestyle dealing with shady people. Gang bangers don't do drive by shootings over alcohol, and casual drinkers aren't as often exposed to harder gateway drugs.
It's easy to say just don't do harder drugs, but I can understand kids bowing to peer pressure, or getting their first taste of heroin because it was laced in a joint. Heck, getting a whole bag of wonderpot and not even knowing what was in it... but they want more.
Seems like you are too fixated on your own small world, come to the city and see how the drug trade works. Plus you're totally ignorant about growing anything. Fertilizers are a good thing and there is no evidence that those chemicals are an epidemic. Heroin is.Once again your true to your username. The worst thing about pot these days is all the chemicals.

Heroin is.
Everyone with that excuse likes to use it. Somebody else's fault.and the source of the current heroin epidemic is painkillers, not marijuana.

Are you suggesting that prescription drugs are not the cause of the heroin epidemic?
That's what I have always said, big weed will take over and write the rules just like alcohol.
DCs law is good because you can't sell it unless its medical, If you want it you have to grow it yourself or a fried can give it to you.
Everyone with that excuse likes to use it. Somebody else's fault.
Getting a script for painkillers from your doctor doesn't put you into a circle of users and dealers.

^ It's a gateway for kids, but the older those kids get, the more of an excuse it becomes. You're also misunderstanding what I mean by gateway.
It's not just that someone tries pot and thinks "wasn't bad for me, I'll try heroin", but rather the sketchy circles of friends put them in exposure to harder drugs. Getting a script for painkillers from your doctor doesn't put you into a circle of users and dealers, into that scene and in the case of kids, no peer pressure.
What minimally competent adult can't figure out that opiates are addictive? Is the doctor shoving them in their mouths at gunpoint? I'm not arguing that people with severe pain shouldn't have relief, but the majority of people hooked on heroin aren't in severe pain.
Where does he think all these opioid addicts got their start? From a prescription from their doctor.sure it does, except narcotic dealers accept insurance and wear white coats. they even give you websites where you can search for your nearest dealer.
BigPharma, the only dealer you ever need :bigthumb:
