Charles, I am a huge fan so I'm dismayed that this opinion piece does not seem to be as well-researched as I've become accustomed to expect from you. No one's perfect but before you write again about the cannabis industry please inform your opinions with real statistics from government sources in the states where the plant is already legal for adult consumption and explore the data and efforts of such credible industry trade and advocacy groups as the National Cannabis Industry Association, NORML, and Women Grow.
