Lot's of nitwits in America that would buy tailor made crappy shit weed chem laden joints.

Ever look at the most popular beers and smokes? Utter shit!

Makes sense that they would wait for the biz to be proven and then swoop in. They have the proven techniques to have tobacco grown on the cheap and the political pull to get what they want. They will definitely swoop in when they see fit and still make a good long term investment.

Sooo.... what company do we think this is? Golden Leaf Holdings, maybe? I'm not too familiar with Oregon brands

They have (Phillip Morris based in Switzerland) obtained both international and U. S. patents on a process to generate "terpenes of interest" in all plants with trichomes. What this is, or what the outcome will be, I don't know, but it is the only relevant patent that I am aware of, which would give anybody a leg up in "big cannabusiness".

Tobacco has trichomes as well right?

As has been said, they only exist because people vote with their dollars. Would it be a bad thing to buy a pack of 20 joints from a major manufacturer at a 7-11? What if they got the price down to 10 bucks? What if it's just low midgrade hybrid mass produced outdoors? I don't think that would be a bad thing, and just like with beer, there will always be higher quality micro brews for the people who fucking hate Bud-Light, but none of them will outsell the Bud either.

However, the hate for corps will always be there, and usually the people who speak out about it the most are the ones who do jack shit about it anyways. Plus, I don't see mass produced cannabis, even low grade, causing cancer - unlike tobacco. So it's not like it's a liability for them, in that sense anyway.

your wrong sorry..There was a documentary on Netflix from the guy who isolated the chemicals while trying to do the opposite..He was trying to find a safe product..Instead he found a chemical making it more addictive...And don't think for a minute they don't use it..They might of stopped and so the documentary might be slightly outdated but it shows motive...Yeehaw
