ever wondered why the pharmaceutical companies haven't cornered the market in places like Cali?

why haven't they decided to set up their own grow labs and make it available threw chemists?

or has this happened and I just don't know it?

too risky. it's still illegal federally. if they get caught growing it they would lose a lot of money and lose a lot of face.

realy? what about prop 215 I keep hearing about?

I'm from Australia so it is all a bit hearsay for me, and I just dont get it?

I mean if random Joe can grow legally why cant RX?

anyone that grow legally in cali (looking at FDD) I would love some answers?

well it's a legally grey area. The state of california hasn't said it's legal persay but their stance is, if you are a medical patient, they won't prosecute you. The federal government still says, pot is illegal and will prosecute you, regardless of medical necessity.

ok then... so why doesn't the federal gov simply grab the list of "licenced" med growers and prosecute them federally?

thanks for answering these questions, I'm sure they sound stupid but I still don't quite get it?

well..they can't legally. In order to grab a list they would have to look at the medical records of all the patients and that's a violation of patient rights. it's a really big complicated mess. but even if they did find some loophole to get a list, they couldn't charge the patients because all they would have as evidence would be list saying these people are sick and are eligible for medical marijuana...which isn't a crime.

the government is trying to pretend it doesn't exist. i'm sure pharm companies have secretly researched it somewhere. they are just waiting........


pretty much comes down to fear of the federal government. they are not willing to work with anyone in anyway and continue to destroy innocent peoples lives.

basically the best way to put it is, it's a fight between state level gov' and federal level gov.

however if the federal gov't where to give in and legalize pot, the pharmaceutical companies would be all over it.
