This is why I don't understand the fear-mongering about corporate involvement in marijuana.
As long as it's legal to grow your own regular weed, who gives a shit? Let the corporate sheep buy their poison and the people who are in the know will keep using what's good. Not to mention, a synthetic version is almost certainly going to be more expensive.
Plus, not every corporation that gets involved is going to be evil. Once the doors are open for scientific advancement, we will see unbelievable strides in even basic level growing and genetics.
I would expect "legalisation" to follow the licensing model pertaining to tobacco and alcohol.
i.e. Legal to purchase from licensed corporate producers.
But that's not how it's working out. So far in every state with any medical or recreational programs, citizens are allowed to grow their own as long as they are eligible. I don't see them going backwards on that without a fight.
Cool, really hope thats the way it works out.
Possibly feeling a little more pessimistic about the possibilities this side of the Atlantic, under the EU corporatocracy.
