The sad thing in all of this is how the decades-long drug war has destroyed entire cities, generations of families torn apart with relatives behind bars. And now the same business elite class that was profiting off of locking us up is going to make billions more pedalling the same goods we were locked up for in the first place.

What is happening now just reeks of the coming shitstorm of fascism. You can see it all over the place, especially with all the hackers and leaks happening. Not many of these elite dooshers going to jail either.

It's about time, the soul of America has been in a strangle hold since Truman sold them out back in the 50's.

Just as cigarette companies spray and mix their tobaccos for smoothness I would imagine the same will apply to Marlboros line of weed products.

Exactly they will grow massively seeded product, concentrate the goods, make sheets of plant matter from the extracted deseeded bud spray that with the concentrate shred it and roll it. That's pretty much what they do with the tobacco.
Sadly they will also be the biggest sellers just like Mexican brick weed. I also wouldn't be surprised if they basically made it illegal, or practically impossible to sell a small scale craft product.

You will either buy the mass produced big tobacco/company product or you will have to grow your own within strict guidelines and trying to sell or distribute your homegrown will be illegal as moonshine.

But I , along with most here, will grow our own and those that don't sure won't be willing to pay $2-300 an oz when they can get big company weed for $20 for a 1/2 oz - 1oz pack of prerolleds or their concentrates for $1-2 a gram.

All those thinking they will still get $100+ for an oz of their "craft" herb are dreaming and need to stop thinking of cannabis as their personal cash crop. That's the biggest obstacle into full legalization, because these people refuse to vote for anything that won't allow them to become th newest big business gouging consumers and making unreasonable profits to fill their greedy wallets.
Honestly I a sad that 90% of people that don't want big companies in cannabis only want them out so THEY can keep selling for unreasonably high prices and THEY can become the PM or essentially they will become big cannabis.

Last year during the big land grab in Calaveras county representatives from east coast big tobacco were scouting out the foothills for future prospects.

And you can bet that they were talking to and bribing the local authorities to tax the fuck out of the local yocals in one form or another.

Phillip Morris was just trying to buy a 5,000 acre ranch in Mendocino co. from a local family.... Glad they told them to kick rocks....

Do ya'll think PM, Altria, etc will either try to start up their own business, or allow the existing brands to expand and then just buy them out? I know a good few cannabis business owners who have said they would sell out to Altria if given the opportunity.
