It's already being done in the states that have legalized medicinal marijuana.



yep. so there you have it. a "model" to develop, learn from, and to further tweak and optimize.

local self-reliance being augmented by what the legal medical profession demands. why not ensure it's truly "organically" grown unless otherwise posted. it wouldn't have to be, not all of it. but, i'd want to know, if i were a consumer, what the plant material had been exposed to in terms of chemical pesticides.

but that's just me.
