Depressed... I was at the hydro store and they had a kit for in vitro plant propagation some thing I have really wanted to look into for many reasons it just seams so cool, I would use it not just for cannabis, I would use it for many types of plants, but while talking with the guy at the store he said I should not buy it because if I did and I ran into trouble with the law this would make my case so much harder to explain, now I live in Cali I am growing no more than the law allows, but even with that in mind he said that if I look to organized and to high tech they can stick you with a conspiracy charge... It really is like the book 1984 when you can go to jail for knowing something, because really that is what it would be... It would be a trial because a person knows how to do something, even if the person was not doing it... It would be that knowledge on trial. He said for the most part if you are not a big lab just the chemicals involved for in vitro plant propagation stresses out people in law enforcement. To me knowledge stresses out the people in power. Unfocused research that is not for profit, or to benefit the state power structure is not legal in this country anymore. I do have hopes that one day the laws about cannabis are made more realistic, that the government understands that it has amazing medicinal qualities and that really everything changes. Until then I am just doing what I do under the law the way the laws are written. And here is the sad fact the laws help organized crime. The laws donā??t help knowledge, they donā??t help keep drugs off the street they donā??t help anyone other than fully committed criminals. I see them in the hydro shop every one and a while buying huge amounts of supplies. These are not granny growers, these are not hippies, these are members of large criminal organizations in it for one thing cash, and these are the people the laws help the most. So good going US Government hats off to you everyday you help make us all a little dumber, you help put tons of cash in violent criminals hands, you help stop tons of cash flowing into the state by keeping cannabis untaxed because of its legal status, and last but not least you stop vital research on a plant that by all standards is a cornucopia of pharmacal therapies for countless problems. Sorry there is my rant that all started with a kit for in vitro plant propagation and the desire to learn about something new.
