jacktar, I have not heard of Foria and am very interested in learning more about it. Thanks for the information. I am so glad I am a medicinal marijuana patient in California, so I can!

We missed out on getting legalization on the ballot here. They disqualified a lot of signatures on the petitions and then it was too late. No one really expected it to pass anyway this time, but maybe next time...
We also elected a raving asshole governor, so that will not help.
We are still shaking our heads here in Florida over the constitutional amendment going down in flames on Tuesday, solely because it needed a "60% super majority" vote to pass.
We pulled a 16% spread of 58% 'yes' vs 42% 'no' with a 1.1 million vote margin of victory out of 5.86 million cast...and still fuckin' LOSE! And it was medical pot for fucks sake!!!
Damn Repub mega-zillionaire casino owner personally paid right at $33 for each damn one of the 152,000 votes that kept it from passing since he dropped $5,000,000 into the 'Vote No' campaign war chest.
Plus the damn teabaggers and other assorted GOP whackos managed to take control of both state houses along with every state officer position and on top of re-electing the Medicare Fraud King as Governor again. My county didn't elect a single Democrat to any local offices either and sent our "John Boehner lap-puppy" back to Congress for another two years.
After nearly 27 years in Florida, my ass is moving back to Ohio in the spring. Screw this bullshit! I'll be firing up my one-hitter on the porch of a 150-year-old log cabin in the woods near the river in the future and growing my own if I have to.
I feel your pain. All of it.
But I'm not upset that the medical marijuana proposal required a 60% supermajority to pass. It was put on the ballot as a constitutional amendment. Constitutional amendments should be rare, and they should be difficult to pass. Bad legislation can repealed in the next session, but a constitutional amendment is on the books for the long haul. They can't be repealed or modified in the next legislative session. Every pet issue should not be put to the vote as a constitutional amendment.
The marijuana proposal had (tepid) support from both sides before a flood of out of state money raised a slew of silly fears and turned the tide against it. I hope the legislature takes up the issue and drafts a bill that recognizes the statewide support for the proposal and addresses the fears of the minority who blocked it. The biggest argument against it was that it was "ambiguous", which was bullshit but can be easily remedied in a statute.
I have always said that once 26 states come on board with marijuana, everything will change and we are there now. We shall see what happens in the election that will make all the difference, 2016. Hopefully, the Feds will re-classify marijuana in the meantime.

NPR reported yesterday that it appears the US is now a net exporter of marijuana.
Legalization has reduced marijuana profits to Mexican drug gangs to the point that they are now buying it in Colorado and California and taking it home to sell in the high-end market, because most Mexican weed is crap.
They interviewed a Mexican farmer who said that a couple of years ago he was getting 80-90 dollars a kilo for Mexican brick weed. Now he's getting $20 a kilo and it's not worth growing it. He's thinking about planting opium poppies next year.
The drug gangs are not going out of business any time soon. They may give up on marijuana as an easy source of income, but they are replacing it with more cocaine, heroin, and crystal meth.
Any suggestions on how to make these enterprises unprofitable as well?
The answer is obvious to anyone who can get his head out of his ass for just a few minutes.
It is a wonder to me why the Mexican farmers have not upgraded their seed stock with killer California strains and flooded the market by now, here and in their country.
Yesterday, I heard a story on NPR about "trimigants" in Humboldt County on the streets, looking for work, trimming buds. Did anyone else hear that one?
