TRH,
If our little newspaper didn't put DUI, drug possession, and drug and alcohol
fueled crimes in the police report, it would be a couple thefts. Some weeks
it wouldn't exist. As is, it's about 1/3 of a page weekly.
hatari,
When they legalized medical here, a guy who has a Maryland
"Legal" grow business bought the old leather car seat plant.
All 275,000 sqft.
Total remodel, made it 3 stories instead of the high ceiling, equipped it
wall to wall despite his initial claims that he only needed 1/4 of the
original footage for production. Which, has held true.
Rumor has it he is building a "motel" to house migrant workers, and a building that fits the rumor has recently started going up near the plant.
In a place no tourist is going to stay.
It would appear his original plan was for the eventual recreational market.
And, there is a tremendous amount of money available for investment
in a business that doesn't exist and doesn't have a clear timeline for
a beginning, or any return on investment. No to mention that getting
permitted, while likely as an existing grow, isn't even a sure thing when
legalization occurs.
Makes one wonder about that $$$.
But, not really.
Right now, that whole business is technically Orginized Crime.
On a scale and in the open, like never seen before.
Shootem,
"Hard" drugs are much different, 100% agree.
But, can we draw a line that will hold for 100 years?
Medical pot was the toe through the door.
Despite pot not having a medical history, scientifically.
Cocaine and Opiates most certainly do have that medical history.
With certain opiates being available over the counter as recently
as the beginning of the Opiate Epidemic.
We had several pharmacies making a stomach medicine to be used
when you had the puking shïts, and sold OTC. It had an opiate component
that now requires an Rx.
