Guessing its basically a 40% cut in monies, tax+easy access. what you buy for that is no fines or jail time, freedom to exchange data, I know most of us will keep out best pheno's to ourselves still.

what we all don't want is the total industrial commercial farming taking over. they have the money: the landscape could change over night, any year now. this kind of operation would drive prices down, and put micro farmers in to the red, unable to operate in the black.
there will be a gourmet connoisseur niche, sort of like micro brewers today. but the PBR, and Budweiser's will still take most of the market share. beer is beer.
wine snob, beer snob, cannabis snob. that will be a very small market that "name brands" like the hyperbolic vodka like market: hot today, dust on the bottles tomorrow.
what happens in America with cannabis will change the global market on so many levels, I'm not smart enough to envision the economic impacts. I think it will affect religion, the spiritual sphere as well.
it may be the break thought the human race needs to, move onward: Kardashev scale. since we cant seem to break free from old ideologicals (<spelling?) that cause so much conflict.
dam i did it again: i have to stop eating the whole cheeba chew, right after i leave work....
