The Apparent Marijuana Industry....

   The up coming marijuana industry in America comes with great complications that range from control to botany to genetics and so on. I'd like to point out that in my opinion genetic alteration of cannibus can have serious effects on intellectualism also I think genetic alteration should be avoided at all costs. I also think that a tobacco and marijuana mix should be avoided. The same laws for alcohol consumption should be applied to marijuana consumption, e.g. DWI/DUI; work intoxication laws; where it should be acceptable such as in the home and designated outlets. Here we have tobacco and cigar shops which can be altered to fit a marijuana bar, in Europe marijuana is now restricted to citizens and coffee shops, if marijuana is to be legal, we should follow Holland's example. I think age restrictions are necessary, and I also believe at 18 years of age an individual can form independent thoughts and decisions on what is best for them without external guidance.

   The Consumer Protection Agency should be front and center on all aspects of the marijuana industry from quality control to criminal investigations regarding the substance. Laws should be in place to protect the consumer against harmful dosages or products. Let's face it, if you receive a harmful product you should have the ability to file suit. I would also like to see serious and honest medical studies involving the affects of the substance on the human body and mind. For law enforcement purposes there has to be a detection method to curb intoxicated operation of machinery and vehicles that does not compromise the individuals decision to use marijuana in his/her private life.
   One more thing on this.... I think moving too fast beyond the scope of legislation could be hurtful not only to the industry, but also the consumer. Everything has a process however slow it may be.
