The Ruckus Rant : Steer Clear of the Greed

Hello and welcome to another Ruckus Rant. I’m pretty sure the reason Vegas Cannabis Magazine asked me to start this column is because I’m a VERY outspoken sombitch that usually ALWAYS has something to bitch about.

This month though, I’m pretty happy.

With recreational hitting Nevada the floodgates have opened. Patients will have so many more options for safe clean medicines. Companies from all over the world will be bringing their products and education with them. The Marijuana Business Conference last month proved that. So much money and technology is being directed at the marijuana community right now. It’s an amazing thing to see.

I look forward to seeing cleaner medicine, better terpene profiles,  new ways of extraction, medicating of ALL kinds of foods, plant nutrients and pesticides without cancer causing chemicals, and new ways for patients who can’t or won’t smoke to medicate.

But along with all this money always comes the greed. Be wary of companies old and new. Ask to see lab results and soil data sheets. If it’s a CBD product, question where the hemp was grown. If there is a problem answering your questions, something is probably wrong. Don’t support them. Then they will go away or adapt to what Nevada medical marijuana patients deserve, the cleanest, safest, most effective medicine on the planet.

The future for cannabis is looking brighter every day. But we must stand vigilant. Greed ruins everything!! And the greed is coming. WE are the ones who support these companies. WE should be the ones they are working for. Where we choose to spend our hard earned money is a choice every single one of us must ponder. Do you want to support people who are actually trying to make other people’s lives better, or some asshole with a marijuana company trying to use patients as an ATM?

The choice to me is clear, but the decision is YOURS.
