It sounds great but I do not think government workers would be as passionate about growing good bud as individuals. Also liquor stores buy different kinds of liquor from different producers, so I am all for a federal/state run Cannabis Store but NOT a federal/state run Cannabis farm. Just look at the crappy weed the last 5 surviving patients get from the U.S. government IND program. Google Irv Rosenfeld who's been getting 11 ounces of government weed a month for 22 years now. This makes him the oldest survivng cannabis patient and he is in great shape thanks to marijuana. I wonder why McCaffrey doesn't think this sends the "wrong message" to the youth, good lord I am tired of that old worn out argument. But you are so right Cannabis could save our economy. All we have to do is rid the political scene of people like Sen Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Rep Mark Souder (R-Ind) who are still in the "Reefer Madness" mode. :thumbsup::stoned:
