Government and industry involvement in marijuana production
and distribution should be discouraged. The French made a total
mess of their distribution of Kif. The herb was kept warehoused
indefinitely and sold very stale. The underground network of distribution
re-emerged and the only govenment stuff sold was to provide cover
for possession of the fresh stuff.
Commercial grows should be small so that the product arrives
freshly dried at the marketplace.
