Re: [ANN] | PARAGON | Revolutionizing the Cannabis Industry |

I'm from the Netherlands, where smoking weed has been legal for years. We're famous for it! The crazy part however is that buying weed (outside of a licensed coffeeshop) and growing weed is illegal. This means that coffeeshops are buying their supply from criminals, while perpetrating a crime themselves at the same time. What we need is to legalize the production and wholesale part of the chain (no pun intended) as well. I think a system like Paragon could do wonders for the Dutch system as well.

I totally agree on this part. It's very confusing the way the legal system is setup in this scenario.
An entity like Paragon may be what the industry need to further advance without all the illegal activities surrounding cannabis.

It's also a fact that the plant is used for much more then just getting stoned. Medical studies have showed that it helps agains anxiety and helps cancer patients and a ton of other illnesses.
Thumbs up for this project.

Fortunately, the medical benefits have been already recognised in some countries. But I think it will still take some time to fully legalize cannabis as long as there are no open, rational and unprejudiced debates. And as long as governments can't levy taxes on it Wink

This is bad if someone who is addicted to marijuana for fun purposes will increase dramatically with these legalization matters and i want it to remain illegal. BUT for some reasons if they're sick or maybe lucky enough, they can go to the doctors and get a statement saying he can use marijuana legally, ofcourse with strict requirements.
If it works like that , i will fully support this things. I just dont want to see idiot people scattered on the streets every night.

Marijuana is not really addictive, I mean we're not talking about cocaine or heroine, active principle that make you stoned is THC, medical cannabis has low levels of THC. There's also powerful cannabis out there, like with LSA/LSD added etc...but they not serve medical purposes
