Maryland growing about to be voted on

[KGBSkunky]

The second of two bills, the first having passed, is to be voted on next week. This lays out the final piece of the framework for both recreational and surprisingly medical cannabis.

The limit will be set for two plants as discussed and agreed upon however people in the medical program will be able to grow four plants.

It is a double edged sword. I am glad growing here in Massachusetts is legal but ‘legal’ doesn’t necessarily help anyone but the govt.

Absolutely true…but I have to take what I can get at this point. If they had legalized cannabis years ago there would not have been a convenient framework for opioids or any other black market items. All they are doing is making it worse. If there was not a lot of money a secondary market is just an inconvenience.

which means a market can only charge twice what it can be grown for at the most which is why they keep struggling and ultimately the market drops to about this in longer term states.

It's almost like any govt won't legalize until some corporations are in place to monetize

Funny how it seems that way, huh? It is almost like lobbying money buys elections and directs lawmaking.

Here in VA everyone I know who grows has far more than four plants, and give away more bud than they smoke. I don't think the legislators or the cash rich lobbies saw that coming. They saw an opportunity to monopolize a popular product and ran with it. I don't know how the monopolized medical cannabis industry is going to make much of a profit selling the stuff when it's all but free already.
