Let's dive in, because soybean enthusiasts shouldn't be the only ones to

Those licenses are producing a staggering amount of cannabis: a combined

Oregon's 344 metric tons had an annual wholesale value of $602 million.

a value of $1.66 billion."

Freewheelin' Franklin the Freak
I was just reading an article on Oklahoma, apparently that state
decided on "free market" with almost no criminal background checks.
EXCEPT the "majority" owner had to be a state resident.
Turns out -one- secretary in a law office is the listed majority owner >>> of several hundred operations. Odd how it was that law office that did >>> all the legal paperwork for those operations.
One operation they mentioned (being raided by LEOs) was actually being >>> run by Chinese , from China, that spoke no English. With all of their >>> "product" being shipped out of Oklahoma
with it to make sure that it did not get on a general election ballot.
When it finally made the ballot the turnout was exceptional and surprising.
The measure passed by a large margin that it was obvious that we wanted >> medical marijuana. And, since it could be prescribed for any condition, we
had just okayed recreational marijuana. All you had to do was get a
prescription.
Then, there was an oh shit moment. What do we do now? The measure had
passed as written, written by the proponents of Medical Marijuana and after
the legislature, with input from law enforcement, while deciding how to >> implement it ran up against the law the first three of four times.
Oklahoma's Atty. Gen. kept telling the legislature you can't do that, you >> can't do this ? read what passed.
It is the same with Commercial grow permits as you mentioned - there are >> very few restrictions. On the bright side, we now have some quality smoke -
no more Tijuana ditch weed that was mostly moldy stems and seeds. And, as >> always a few people are getting very rich.
Happy Birthday to the state of Oklahoma.
Thanks, George, I had forgotten...
