Well I think the marijuana debate needs a certain kind of honesty. So I think it would be better if we spent a day or two so that people got comfortable with legalizing weed. AND then they say okay now tell me what cannabinoids is again. Instead of focusing on chemistry and the medical industry we’d actually be seeding marijuana visually. Y’know maybe we should just take some time to understand all of the tripey pictures.

So visually I’m saying marijuana is better than synthetics but synthetics is better than jail. Then of course marijuana will land you in jail. Eventually society goes around and around so hard we now end up at a point where marijuana is better than marijuana.

But there’s no way (in my understanding) to linguistically understand legalizing weed because all the stuff that’s being said is this PHD levels of jargon. Or let me tell you what marijuana is on a cellular level.

Meanwhile there’s this silent majority, probably only 10%-20% of people are truley wanting to legalize weed and there’s this vast majority just trying to figure out what the tripey pictures are, and there’s a reason it’s confusing them because legalizing weed doesn’t make any sense to the silent majority. So, Y’know. In this instance marijuana is better than marijuana.

Colombia & Thailand can produce high-quality cured medical cannabis flower at a COGS of 5 US cents per gram. This is a tiny fraction of the cost of producing medical cannabis Down Under.

It is a waste of New Zealand’s limited funds to invest in developing a domestic industry that will, inevitably, be out-competed by higher-quality, lower-cost foreign imports.

New Zealand should, instead, focus its investment on the microbial biosynthesis of cannabinoids. This would leverage New Zealand’s educated workforce and industrial infrastructure. (Note that this microbial biosynthesis produces exactly the same cannabinoids found naturally in the cannabis plant, NOT the deadly ‘synthetic cannabinoids” that are never found in nature, which can be deadly. See Ginkgo Bioworks and Demetrix, among others, for more information.)

As a non-smoker there is only one reason to legalize weed:

There isn’t a reason to keep its illegal status.

As a prescription medicine is just a secondary benefit to the scores of people dying from synthetics.

Legalizing weed is just a desperate attempt for us to get the cheap chemicals out of the system.

Perhaps not. I hear universities are running courses to involve farmers in profiting from this new revenue stream.

But its ok to market highly addictive, untested shit to kids from the tobacco industry because they have the direct line to the beehive.
nods as good as wink, eh

The Drug War won’t end until either Europe as a whole, or the US legalize marijuana, until then, we’ll be force the rest of the world to keep medicinal.

Asia will probably not reform for a long bloody time, even after the west does, because they love their capital punishment of drug dealers, and China is still traumatized from that time the British introduced them to “free” trade.
