Question of the Week
Tuesday we asked: With marijuana now legal for recreational use and retail pot stores opening next year, companies already growing marijuana for medical use are eyeing the recreational game.
Do you think medical marijuana growers should be able to grow for recreational use?
  • I do not believe that whatever final legislation occurs, that it can be controlled or monitored by Police officials, Employers, Parents,ETC....
  • Not for recreational purposes.
  • This whole national scene re Marijuana is ridiculous. Fine to have the active medicinal elements of marijuana be made available through existing medical and drug licensure activities of the individual state bureaus...states should be able to experiment but also under strict control of this gateway drug (according to most knowledgable authorities). The rest of the currently popular activities around growing, control, use, claims, etc. are related to money grubbing opportunists of growers, small business opportunists rushing to fill a hole in the system, politicians tying to appease constituents while soliciting votes without knowledge of the subject matter, etc.
