LAW ASSUMES GROWING MARIJUANA IS EASY

I wish the best of luck to people who have a bona fide need for
medical marijuana. In the next few weeks, you will all mostly likely
turn to scrupulous sources for your legitimate need. The 2011 Montana
Legislature passed many benevolent laws, including one that repeals
the 2004 Medical Marijuana Act. In this law, the language is
intelligently dubious and is a nice way of getting rid of medical
marijuana altogether.

The technical aspects of growing marijuana (yes, there are many) are
great; despite the testimony given by advocates, the Legislature, with
the zeal of Harry J. Anslinger, hammered out a law with language so
restrictive, scrupulous sources remain the only viable option for many
of you.

Morals and hall monitor mentalities aside, marijuana cultivation is a
specialty that requires professional skills and attention. Ironically,
the law assumes that medical marijuana patients, many who are
incapacitated due to illness, already have these skills and are able
to use them come July 1. After all, growing weed is easy, right?
