It certainly sounds promising, something more than keeping our fingers crossed seems to be in order. The Big Problem with the OAS is the over sized 5t RW&B gorilla in the room.  The meeting scheduled for 1st wk of June will be in Guatemala. This coould prove testy for the home team.  Seeing as how they just outed one of 'our' puppets [Rios Montt] for mass genocide and crimes against humanity. oooOps...

Legalization in the US of A is going to cause serious ramifications all over the world. A sizable amount of money goes south of the border. It supports a lot of people. What will they do when marijuana is no longer a source of income? We are talking BILLIONS of dollars here.

 

Gang activity in the US is supported by marijuana sales also. What happens to these people when marijuana money dries up?

Trust me there just isn't as much involved in all black market activity combined only equals maybe 2-3%. Compared to the legitamate take  there from Oil, Walmarts, Numerous Canadian Cos., Tequila, Tacos, Sombreros ...

Thanks for the post, Trix.

 

Nice to know that other countries are starting to take a closer look at the MJ laws and the negative effects they're having.

 

Thanks again.
