MSNBC Investigates MMJ

Calling it a gateway to criminal activity. I know the link advertises something different, but it is a video about mmj in California. I double checked it.

LA cops suspended for involvement in aggressive clique - Video on msnbc.com

I saw the video earlier today and I'm glad they had that gal who owned the dispensary on since she seemed like she has a level head. As for the mega farms around Fresno, it's out of control obviously and I'm sure most of it makes it's way out of state.

Personally, if people want to be taken seriously when they say they use cannabis for medical reasons, we have got to stop with the ridiculous strain names. That was pretty embarrassing when the guy interviewing her asked to smell the Dog Shit strain. Who takes medication called Dog Shit, or Cat Piss?

I totally agree! Alaskan ThunderFuck?
Very hard to be taken seriously.

Unfortunately the issue of naming is left exclusively to the breeder and nobody else. I could walk into a dispensary with a few pounds of a certain doozie that I bred called "Monumental Ball-Sucking C0ck Garbler", and if the dispensary thought it was pertinent to carry the strain, they'd have to use the name without question. :/

But how else do you attract stupid kids to a dispensary to pay $20/g?

And that's exactly what the DEA is thinking too.

I'm sure this is the reason people don't like mmj. What else do you expect people to name their weed? Pot? Not everything strain is the same. I would like your expert advise on how to name a strain since you don't like creativity and people have the right to call anything they breed whatever they want. Its America go live North Korea if you want to be a square and no say in anything you do. CRY some more please

Well BooHoo

No one said anything about denying a person creativity, but we are talking about the medical aspect here, not the recreational side. As long as a divide exists between the two, then the medical community should be able to creatively come up with more appropriate names for medicine. If the creative breeders want to take the credit, then what's stopping them from giving a strain two names; one name for the recreational user, and one name for the medical user? Honestly, if an emergency room doctor came in and told you that they were going to treat your illness with a drug called dog shit, wouldn't you have a hard time taking him seriously? Calm down and think about it for a minute, geez.

If they didn't specify strain names it would be taken more seriously, but i don't think they need to rename any strains. And every news report video or article i can remember, has never used the strain names as a tactic to put down marijuana, i think it makes it seem less harmful actually. But i love the strain names, id rather smoke something called bubba kush than ________(insert scientific-like strain name). But hey thats just me.

man its so hard reading these posts knowing the MJ or MMJ is totally LAWFUL, but illegal, and the difference is comparable to the wheel and the tire...

If I'm in the emergency room I won't be asking for weed rofl. Make a relevant arguement.

What the fuck are you talking about? People wouldnt ask for Tylenol in an emergency room either but that doesnt mean it wont work for headaches. People with Parkinsons disease wont be in an emergency room but it will stop them from shaking, Chemo patients will be at home trying to sick to eat and weed will help with that.

Are you trying to say its not medical?

No I think he's simply stating the fucking obvious you wouldn't be asking for weed in an emergency room its a fucking emergency.

I'd neg rep you if I could...way out of line with that.


Do you work for the DEA or something?

Splitting the two apart into twi separate names is dumb why create even more random ass names around. For the record I've never EVER seen cat piss or dog shit in any dispensary I've been to. I had known someone who had it but I couldn't wrap my head around this idea and would NOT smoke weed that smelt like that.

Horribly planned naming? No just someone throwing a quick name on some fucking bunk weed

Weed used to get named on looks, smell, taste, area grown thought everybody knew that
But now with A cross breedin orgy over the US true land race strains are, if not already, slowly become extinct

I do contract work for the DEA and also top secret UFO missions

Can I just ask... Why would you name your strain Dog Shit or Cat Piss?! I mean, you're basically asking people not to buy it because it's awful... You don't see Ford making a car called the Tinfoil, or Apple releasing their new CheapBook. I wouldn't want to name a product something with a bad connotation.

Wow that made alot of sense. I agree that it does not do us any good in the medical scene to be giving our strains terrible names. Especially when something gets put on the news when we already get abunch of negative sides from everywhere else!
