I am so glad you wrote what you did. Thank you! I absolutely agree about the more nefarious aspect of allowing more legalization of weed, but for a slightly different reason. Maybe it's just me being cynical, but I feel like the government wants to provide us with poorly made and chemically induced marijuana (as you said) so that we aren't aware of the top quality weed; I believe there are strains out there that help reduce the plague in our brains, like it does for possibly reducing the Alzheimer's proteins. http://www.newsmax.com/TheWire/marijuana-alzheimers-thc-removes/2016/06/30/id/736394/ If the general public was able to have this quality weed, then their minds would be "woken up" or aware of all the bs the media and the government spill out. There would be an epic change in our world and that would bring chaos to them so they don't want it happening that way. There does seem to be a push for vaporizing as well and my post is shortsighted about many of my feelings about vaping. I myself enjoy hitting a bong or joint. Vaping for the most part seems to give me a headache and I don't seem to get as high as I would if I was smoking with a bong. I used it for my first time, and a few times since, but it' s not my favorite method of smoking. About being weed freegan. I LOVE this idea!!! My boyfriend and I have been looking into growing a small garden of our own, but have run into a few confounds that hasn't made this dream possible, yet. They are creating pods that can nourish plant growth vertically on walls if you are without land space. This is my hope to be able to start this soon.
I appreciate your words and thank you for imparting knowledge!
