In Oregon??? shocking. :)

As of October, 14,831 Oregonians were medical marijuana cardholders and 7,178 growers, called caregivers, were approved to supply them.

Nice ratio. :laugh:

Anyone else ever been abroad and had someone ask them about Oregon pot? Well, ok, I admit it wasn't exactly at a board meeting, but still.

:cool:

I'm definitely living in the wrong state.

But I do have to comment on this...


Judges rate each strain of marijuana, on a scale of 1 to 10, in six categories: appearance, aroma, smoothness, taste, potency and "medicinal effect," or how well it soothes what ails them

I live and work among the world's biggest Pharma companies. Most are my clients. Many good people there but at the end of the day it is a truly f'd up industry far more interested in producing great drug commerials than great drugs that ordinary people can use to stay alive. Coming health care reforms will rock their world.

OK, that said, can you imagine a similar competition among, let's say erectile dysfunction drugs, using the above criteria?

Of course not.

The Cheek and Chong elements of this competition only add to the Cheek and Chong aspects of the medicinal marijuana movement and will undermine whatever good they are trying to create.

I don't know, that sort of thing seems to be the norm in British boarding schools...

No competition.

Comparing to these criteria:

appearance, aroma, smoothness, taste, potency and "medicinal effect," or how well it soothes what ails them

I think "Soggy Biscuit" deals with at least two of those senses.

I gotta agree about the mixed message from the competition though. Something that improves the quality of life for those suffering from chronic and terminal stage conditions shouldn't be put in jeopardy by public flaunting of the side effects. On the other hand it's really the only way to do even crude genetic selection for effectiveness given the legal landscape. The serious side of the story is about as tragic as it gets. Chronic rheumatoid inflammation, MS, stick thin chemo patients, etc.
