When did we start referring to STRAINS as strands? When did we put aside our education and forget about proper terminology? Why do dispensaries use sex to advertise their products like at the cannabis convention? Why does every one complain that the government does not take us seriously? How could they when we can not act professional and speak properly? I have never seen a pharmaceutical company use girls in provocative attire to sell their poison, is that not who we are competing with? So I ask all WTF?

SO I ASK YOU AGAIN WTF?
I have been a patient and caregiver since it all started in the state, I still have my first card #000035, and I have been care giving for just as long. I have weathered all the changes and I can honestly say out of all the dispensaries in this state only 5% are actually doing it right and professionally.
Just wanted to rant about this, all opinions welcome, but remember what they say about opinions.
