Legalize it... why are all the smart people in Cali?
Cali has just as many closed minded nazis as anywhere BUT the people out there have been going door to door and person to person to get the signatures of registered voters that are needed. We need to organize and make the public aware that not only is this going to happen but it needs to happen soon.
If your local tv station is doing a poll on MMJ, call all your friends and get them to vote. Start a petition, join NORML, do whatever it takes to stand up for what you believe in, Even if it isnt about medical herb. Be an activist of any kind.
I hear what you are saying... I live in the Bible Belt, currently in Georgia, and there are a lot of pressing issues that the Bible Belt cannot make progress on. Especially, Alchohol sales on Sunday... which is probably the only focus of locals.
I do not have a medical card, nor do I smoke marijuana. I call my friends stuff "moonshine" weed to try to open up their eyes that they need to support the legalization.
I had a young female patient on Friday that I was following up with after being seen in the ER for the 2nd time for nausea and vomiting of undetermined cause. When questioned about drug use as a part of the history, she acknowledged that she smoked marijuana and that it seemed to help her symptoms. I told her that I could not legally and officially endorse her using marijuana, but at the same time told her "I know that marijuana helps a lot of people and is legal in several states for medical use, and I think that at this point, until we determine what is causing these symptoms you need to use anything at your disposal to alleviate your symptoms". With that she smiled and said "that's exactly what the doctor told me".
it just sucks that I had to put any sort of disclaimer on what I know to have been sound advice. It's so unfair that I could not tell this young girl and others like her openly and document it in the medical record that she should use a therapy that I know to be effective. I've done similarly before with patients I have seen with cancer or HIV.
It would be so easy and would help so many people, and it breaks my heart not to be able to offer it as therapy openly.
Also you definitely want to switch up the strains, There are hundreds(?) of different types of cannabinoids and it is my opinion that even if you have the dankest of dank strain, in a few months(if not sooner) you will get sick of it and need something different with a different concoction of cannabinoids.
i agree with this from the perspective of the user - but if you're the AK "guy" then you know that plant very well.
that said, there are probably more people growing the more popular strains, so the market has more available suppliers for them.
that's a tough balance. id probably specialize in one plant but try others, just to give yourself some variety.

I think it totally depends on your patients. What are their ailments? Some strains are obviously better for pain management than others.

I wouldn't ever use any kind of auto-flowering strains, even after learning the old school way. I've heard that they can be a hassle.
What is the hassle with AF?
Truthfully I'm not sure, guess i shouldn't inject on something i know nothing about. I'll have to ask my friend what he was talking about. you know how these things work, everything know the best way to do it but everyone does it differently. He is an old head and is knowledgable but not infallible, he could have just done it wrong.

I don't know a lot about AF strains except that they are feminized and they are done in about 8 weeks on the same light. They grow short and stout, high yield. Sounds pretty good to me. I've known growers who are so particular about everything they do and others who guerilla grow in cornfields. The only real difference that I could tell was taste. Of course, I don't know the yields of one vs. the other. But I do know the particular guy put a hell of a lot of work into it and the cornfield guy let mother nature take over.

This is Colorado, at least how I see it.
I am driving home from work in rush hour traffic. There is this loud pop. At first I thought it was a car backfiring. No, it was my stupid car and it blew out all the antifreeze. So there I was in bumper to bumper traffic, on the shoulder, sitting on my truck pointing at a bottle of water. Two people offered me a ride, 3 people pulled over and gave me their drinking water (which didn't help), and then one of those road rangers pulled over. Filled up with water and all seems fine. I drove the rest of the way home with no problems. That is a bit odd and scary because cars rarely fix themselves. The point was: People in Colorado are nice. (And the wind was blowing and my hair was all over and guess what? I didn't scare a soul I guess

A lot of the AF strains are just not good tasting. I haven't grown them personally to tell about yield, but as far as quality smoke is concerned AF strains (like lowrider) are not the best. It's more geared toward a guerrilla grower who wants to grow a quick batch.
Here's an article that ran in our paper a few days ago.. It is pretty interesting and speaks on how the farmers in Humboldt, Calif. fear legalization and say that it will only hurt the quality of bud that is produced!
But, it looks to be the first place in Calif. that will be legalized for recreational use..
It seems like they fear more that it will cut into their profit margins. I mean if they grow the best stuff around, it's not like they will have to smoke crappy ditch weed. So it's not like they fear THEY won't be able to obtain good weed, because they're growing it. They're worried that everyone will be growing it and they'll have no one to sell to.
true, It's interesting too, because they fear it will cut into their profits when in reality the smokers who like to smoke will still prefer quality buds. Which if legalization does occur, will still come from the experienced growers..
But I do understand their concerns, its interesting to think about really, I would love to be in on that convo between the aging hippies all sharing some of their 'product' ;D
I heard an interview on the radio with that guy and I cracked up.
"We can't legalize it!!! Everyone will grow it and the quality will go downhill." That's silly and I agree with the above people. You can buy a PBR but some people will only drink Fat Tire.
I have read the same things about AF. They seem to be good for a quick batch and a quick yield.
canexplain, the beer example was the exact example I was going to use. If marijuana were to be legalized, there would definitely be companies (Marlboro?) that mass-produced buds. But because the company would most likely be concerned with yield and not quality, it would be like Bud Light. Then you would have people that still continued to grow quality stuff, only with legalization they don't have to be clandestine and are free to have a larger capacity; they would be somewhat like the craft beer makers of today. The craft beer market has exploded and there's no reason not to think that the marijuana market would be any different upon legalization. I think it would make the quality go up, not down.
Nederland became the second municipality in Colorado to legalize marijuana within its borders on Tuesday night. The mountain town's residents went further than Breckinridge, which last year legalized possession of less than one ounce of marijuana, and by a vote of 259 to 218, removed all criminal penalties against buying, selling, possessing, consuming, growing and transporting marijuana for anyone age 21 or older.
