Because it would be an absolute shame to be overproducing(basically producing or growing exclusively, with no other purpose than to produce) legal cannabis in co-op's that seems to care more for the money than the thought of being a part in a "new" leading-edge medical drug. and for that, it needs faces behind it that say, "weed, its a drug, yeah, and i unique one, but we are doing this to, one day, know MUCH more about it and know MUCH more on how to utilize it".

it is not the doctors that are giving strict prescriptions so maybe this is the co-ops duty to play more of a doctor roll.
I do think research is very important all my thoughts about this has brought me to starting a not for profit collective that will focus on providing free cannabis to those that can not afford it, and are to sick to grow their own. People with cancer and things such as that. Part of what we are going to do is a great deal of research on many aspects of cannabis and Cannabinoids. But we don't want this to be like any other drug. It is very different it is something that any person can grow. You don't need a billion dollar chemical plant, share prices, ceoâ??s even the FDA the FDA is a joke, you donâ??t need any of it if worked from the proper angle. Very sick people are the most captive market group that the big drug companies have taken advantage of and by doing so they have also swamped our medical system. To me it has to go another route than cannabis is a drug, the entire idea of drugs needs to be reframed for a modern world and perhaps a new word needs to enter our lexicon...
