So they are going to produce medical marijuana to boost the economy?
Reminds me of Tommy Chong. "I buy my weed for $10 and sell it to myself for $20. I'm my biggest customer." https://apnews.com/ef52a9e5ed484df4baf7 ... ase-crisis Jesus Aponte pushes a door open to reveal hundreds of aromatic, spiky green plants, a crop that Puerto Rico hopes will help it ease a grinding economic crisis by generating millions in revenue and tens of thousands of jobs. “This is an economic niche that we can grab on to,” he said, though he added, “A lot of people told me, ‘What are you doing with your life? You’re throwing away your future.’” _________________ NRA Endowment Member. How did they know my member was well endowed? |

The money is there....
Seriously, the market for legalized pot is huge. In the first two years since Washington legalized pot, sales exceeded $1 Billion. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jul/8/marijuana-sales-washington-top-1-billion-report/ _________________ "If it doesn't work, the proper sequence of tools is duct tape->screwdriver->hammer->shotgun. If none of that fixes it, it wasn't meant to work in the first place." I am free because I say I am. My freedom is not dependent on any government benefit or piece of legislation. My rights are inherent in the fact that I was born a sovereign being. They are non-negotiable. The government can list them and protect them, but my rights are not theirs to give away. Yolo: Because idiots don't know what "carpe diem" means. What, do you think I`m an amateur? You think this is Amateur hour? I`m covered in broken glass and hatred. You think someone would want to anger that with a Vz? - Fjordforder |

The billion dollar question is whether Free People will make smart choices about consumption of intoxicants. With alcohol, we already know that they don't. But that's the double-edged sword of Liberty - we are free to be idiots if we so choose. As a libertarian, I say legalize the shit out of it and make all the money you can. Besides, it's unconstitutional for the feds to prohibit it. It's a States' (or Territories') rights issue. |

Well, it's a good thing that pot has been proven to be less harmful than alcohol or tobacco, then..

From the picture it looks like they need to work on their botany skills before they make any big promises.

Puerto Rico's problem is corruption and this won't solve it.
I'm glad I don't travel there any more as part of my job. |
