High All,

There has been so much turmoil in the medical cannabis industry this year. We’ve seen collectives in some states thrive only to witness them get hammered back again. There have been so many ups and downs, but I think it’s safe to say that they took a beating over all. However, there is light on the horizon… for after all is said and done, I hope to look back at these trying times and see that these were needed debates toward finally establishing firm guidelines which allowed the industry to stabilize. Once that happens, we can have a steady and reliable source for our medical needs.

However, I suppose that these laws would become mute if marijuana became legal for recreational use. Just think, a mere decade ago there were NO state-legalized collectives. Now, there are thousands of them nationwide. Public opinion is changing… for the better. So, as we resolve our medical marijuana issues, let’s make a push towards legalization within the next 4 years (2015). Below, find our super-general, but easy-to-follow game plan.

2012 - Knowledge. In year one we can each focus our attention on gaining knowledge of marijuana’s history as well as the reasons for our current marijuana laws (the answer to which may both surprise and anger you.)

2013 - Spread the Word. In the 2nd year we can take our knowledge and spread the message through word of mouth, social media, and other viral-marketing methods available at the time.

2014 - Finalize the Law. Now with significant legal power and financial backing, we can have real discussions about how to control, distribute, and tax what is sure to be our single largest cash crop (food, fuel, clothing, cosmetics, etc.)

2015 - The Vote. With significant media attention now drawn toward the cause, it will be time to put “The People” to the test… the 420 legalization ballot of 2015.

We are almost there. While each state figures out its own medical marijuana laws, let us begin our 4-year plan. For starters, if you have not read this site from page-to-page please do. While “pot etiquette” is sort of a silly subject, having great etiquette is part of any great society. And in our marijuana culture, smoking with style is of the upmost importance.
