The genie is out of the bottle. The legality of medical cannabis and recreational cannabis is spreading throughout our country and our planet. It is a growing wave that will not be stopped. Now the question is… what path will the industry follow and at what cost? I believe that we all have a lot more influence on it’s direction than we know. My sincere hope is that we will all put our differences aside and combine our voices together in the worthy pursuit of the open and easy access to cannabis for everybody. This really is a human right. It is our manifest destiny. This is a cause that crosses all partisan lines. Knowledge is power and it is our duty to share this knowledge. We cannot let cannabis become the next corporate controlled commodity to be bound to the whims of big corporations, lobbyists, and money-hungry governments. I also believe that if we can come together on this struggle, then we can use our momentum to stay together to take on the immense challenges that have split our country and our world. There is power in truth and we should all demand it. And there is power in our numbers that are growing every day. I truly believe in all of you.
