This is completely different from someone misspelling the word "Conessiur" or something on the board.

Then again like someone mentioned above, maybe a lot of people's smart phones are "creating" this strand-talk phenomena. I've seen it several times and I can't help but think most people know its "strain".

what the fuck, talk about assumption.this is exactly what im talking about people like you trying to be a smart ass all the time. where in my posts do i point out that i think it should be spelled that way.infact i have never spelled it that way.
smart people on the board know what i was saying i don't expect people like you to understand.

btw plz don't listen to me on anything i say about growing you're right i don't know what im doing. so plz pass any threads/posts i make about growing.i don't care to help people that don't deserve it.

LOL... man, I am lost. I don't really know what this is about... I wasn't trying to be a smart ass.. you just went off on this tangent and read things between the lines that weren't really there and I think everyone was a little confused.

Bro I don't really wanna get into this as I don't even know what it's about. It's all good.

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.

a better way to approach this "strand issue," would be by asking the person posting it when you noticed it. i'm sure it would be fairly easy to go through old posts and find all kids of grammatical errors, lol. i don't see the point in doing a spell check of threads though. being taken seriously by the government isn't something that one should long for, lol. why would anyone want to be found acceptable by such a flawed institution? the only thing that anyone here (imo) really cares about, is decriminalizing/legalizing smoke. other than that, who cares what the gov thinks? i really don't think they're going to come here and start measuring literacy, do you? the powers that be will "never" take mj into their hearts and mind as a real medication. if it does ever become legal, it will be because of political pressure, nothing more. you've never seen pharmaceutical companies use sex to pander their wares? maybe you should stop making runs to the fridge during commercials, because i see it every day! companies use all sorts of tactics, including sex, to sell their wares.

sorry to say but every time i see someone bring up something like this it goes hand in hand with their thinking on spelling in gen.i can see it now it's been about money all of this time with the gov nothing more money and power.all of the sudden 1 day the gov starts checking the boards to see if we are just dum dums.after months of research the data report comes in.hey sam look the spelling % is up now we can stop caring about the money greed and power and now we can let them have it.ok 1 and all it's legal now.yup makes sense to me.

I said it before, the post has not one thing to do with spelling or grammar. It has to with public in your face people referring to strains as strands, not the mis spelling of such. It is just not strands either, that was just an example, just like the sex in advertising, it does not belong in the medical end of this, recreation is fine just as all the hotties on the beer ads. Yes pharmaceutical companies reference to sex for e.d. but they do it tastefully. When I see doctors at a cannabis festival signing patients, that is just wrong, when I see folks barbecuing and drinking beer at a dispensaries grand opening it is wrong, when I see young women in basically thong shorts (although stimulating) trying to sell med mmj it is wrong. I guess I would have expected to see a lot more professionalism and higher standards in the med mmj scene. Along with this forum, i was under the impression it was for medical mmj, not recreation. I am all for the total legalization of all herb but the fact is that the medical end has got the ball rolling for that to happen so it needs to be treated as such or we just show that we are not true in our nature or our word, and that my friends is a fact. As far as the gov goes, it will be here long after we are gone, everyone bitches about it, and none of us agree with them, and they will most likely never change, so we must use their rules against them to get what we want, but we must do it tactfully and with respect, not like a bunch rebels, that obviously has never worked, and as long as you use the same tatics you will get the same results.

P.S. Hopefully we have gotten past the whole mis spelling issue now......lol

hey klonzinc, i hear what you're saying, and i understand how serious your are on this subject. yes, i read the whole post, and even though you say it's not about grammar, that's the way it comes across. it doesn't matter if you say it isn't about that, that is how it is perceived, to me... you include a lot of "i think this and that is wrong." well, no disrespect, but that's just your opinion. i can see how a serious minded individual sees certain things as detrimental to a cause. but let's face it, the morals of this country started taking a nosedive long before "happy bob," started schilling viagra for merk or whoever distributes that stuff. our forefathers let our rights slowly slip away years ago by sitting on their hands. it'll take a long ass time to get those rights back. our gov is too big, and regulating too many things... farm subsidies, food fat content, it's just ridiculous! (i'm a bit high, so if this doesn't make sense, lol.....)

"What strane would you like" -Misspelling

"What strain does you want" -Grammatical error

"What strand would you like" -Incorrect terminology (person can't even say the word correctly, they don't know what it is) leading me to believe that said person has no idea what they're talking about in regards to herb.


Make sense?
