“If I was a conspiracy guy, I’d say big pharma is behind legalization”.
I think so too. All about the money.
Allowing people to grow a few plants for personal use, similar to laws regarding home made wine and beer (but much easier), would take “Big Pharma” right out of the picture. And that’s probably why such a simple idea isn’t being put on the table. “Legalization” of “Medical Marijuana” and touted “advancements” in refining the THC out of the common plant and into proprietary medications makes no sense to me, but would to the drug companies and their in-the-pocket politicians.
