My years of covering legislators have convinced me that this will be a major debate, in and of itself. We don’t want tobacco companies taking over marijuana. So we plan to lead the fight for a non-profit, social business alternative.

But regardless: Whether it’s “Medical Marijuana for the Arts” or “Marijuana for the Arts,” we believe there are many, many in Hollywood would like to see their marijuana money go toward creating art grants. If given the choice between buying Phillip Morris “Marley Joints” or supporting a local creative organization, plenty of progressively minded people will do the latter.

Whatever lawmakers decide, we’re smarter than the average bear, hard-working, and we treat our patients incredibly well. More than anything, we offer first rate service. We’re going to be successful—AC and WJ both. It’s just a matter of time.

New FDA Commissioner and Drug Czar named today. We’ll see if the Feds respect individual states’ citizenry better than tney have. If not, I believe a states’ rights movement will emerge, because of MANY issues.

With times this tough, I expect the states will start to assert themselves, as they have periodically, with or without impetus due to Federal actions or inactions.

I appreciate the update, Dann, and look forward to hearing more and you letting your readership know how you need help.
