The pharmaceutical companies are probably figuring out how

to capitalize on the positive effects of cannabis oil on certain medical conditions. All the FDA wants to do is warn us that it has not been certified. However, if a child who was having at least 50 seizures a day,benefits from the oil to almost no seizures, there has to be something good happening. My fear is that they will eventually, with the help of a toxic senate, find a way to either permanently ban the oil or price it out of the reach of those who need it the most. Just collecting my thoughts about the real goal of the pharmaceutical industry.

Restorative Botanicals, out of Colorado, ships to wherever. They are in Target and other chains as well.

I have long thought that when the companies could make gigantic profits on the huge pluses of Cannabis, they woul work to make it legal but with big time regulation and make us pay exhorbitant costs.

The government basically just wants to make massive $ off of it period, however that happens, through whatever channels.

Neither has our best interests at heart.

Guess we should get it while we can, where we can as inexpensively as we can.
