New regs proposed for NM Cannabis Program

[xsnoder]

If >>you yourself<< travelled to Afghanistan/India/The Kush Region of the middle East and sampled the wares/sourced the seed I would totally agree
with your statement.

However, if you are speaking to Amsterdam/etc as having better genetics than here in the US I would not agree with such a statement. There are some top-quality genetics in Europe, no doubt, but these days the US has everything Europe has and more and there is no need to source seeds from outside the US anymore. (risking Customs detection/etc)

that's my opinion, anyway. As always, YMMV.

Very True Hash. Most of the popular strains you see in Amsterdam were actually American west coast strains to begin with.,
I believe these are some of the strains taken to to the Netherlands, from the USA as clones or seed. Not all of course.

Big bud,.. I do not believe you can find a true Big Bud in Amsterdam?

The Dutch seed companies have come up with some mind bending strains and done good with what they got but the original "fine blended" genetics came from the pacific northwest Particularly the Humboldt area and Hawaii, not all, but the majority.
IMO- Mel Frank and his legendary wisdom (his 70's volume and 88 volumes are great), Jack Herrer with his medical break thru in the mmj fields and Jason Kings three volume cannibible are with out a doubt nothing less then master pieces in gathering information on the history, science and evolution of the marijuana plant. :jointsmile:
Some new strains I would like to try to get hold of are spirit of 76, Williams wonder, blueberry hash. ahhh in time :jointsmile:

OK I'm interested. Please explain "We are all being played by some big move makers who don't want New Mexico to be a medical marijuana state! "

It's a long read.
It gives all power to the Director of the DOH.
Conditions and producers can be axed without process. law or reason. The director can shut the whole thing down with one simple action.:thumbsup:



You have to ask yourselves.... Why would anyone slip this in the very last part of a three part document?
Why would this totally be omitted from the general public version or the press release?

JM I think your long mistrust of Dr. Vigil may prove true after all.

OUR MEDICAL CANNABIS PROGRAM IS BEING LED TO SLAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you like having a license, you better show up. If you like living in a medicla cannabis state, you owe it to the program to show up. If you have ever been touched by someone who cannabis helped.... you owe it to them to show up and say NO WAY!!! YOU CAN'T TAKE CANNABIS AWAY FROM US!!

SEE YOU AT THE MEETING IN SANTA FE 09/30/10!!

Not sure what you are talking about but the link is to HEALTH
CHAPTER 34 MEDICAL USE OF MARIJUANA
PART 4 LICENSING REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCERS, PRODUCTION FACILITIES AND
DISTRIBUTION they are the statues of the law.I think you are being a little paranoid. What is going to be discussed is adding sales tax , increased fee, seeds,and inspection of product. There might be other things but those are the major things.

I think you are on point.
I read your link and I saw things that I would have caught the first time I read them in August.
I think we need to show up in force at the DOH meeting on the 30th.

What do you think? Can we a 500 people?

JM

[alfonso2002]
