NONPROFIT MEDICAL MARIJUANA GROWERS NOT FEASIBLE

I just read the article about the Legislature's proposed new marijuana
bill that would allow no grower or caregiver to make a profit; they
are supposed to live off the compassion the bill mentions.

This is brought up again by a small, loud-mouthed, belligerent
minority who refuse to consider any newer facts about marijuana than
the stuff spewed in the 1930s.

Anything to keep the pot stirred up, huh guys?

Growing marijuana is a touch more complicated and labor intensive than
hanging a philodendron in your kitchen window. Asking someone to
undertake this out of compassion makes no more sense than asking Lilly
(pharmaceuticals) to do the same.
