<br />
<b>Have you ever thought about the corrosive nature of capitalism on the human spirit?</b></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: 'San Francisco', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.24000000953674316px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<div style="font-family: 'San Francisco', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Here we have a system of running society -- I'd call it an "economic system," but it's more than that -- it's a system that takes over not just the "economy," but everything else. It commodifies EVERYthing. It attaches a dollar amount to everything. It forces everything to become measured by, not the amount of "intrinsic good" contained therein, nor even by the amount of "human good" it does through enriching lives and alleviating suffering, but by the BOTTOM LINE -- the profit -- the return on investment for shareholders.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'San Francisco', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I would suggest to you, brothers and sisters, that when we look clearly at that system, based on acquisition, exploitation, and outright greed, we see a system that rewards and valorizes one narrow range of human activity (the acquisition of money, power, objects and property) while denigrating almost everything else in our world (human dignity, non-monetary worth, charity, altruism, responsibility to the planet, and responsibility to each other, to ourselves as human beings).</div>
<div style="font-family: 'San Francisco', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
As evidence of what I'm saying, look at our heroes. Corporate heroes aren't admired for the totality of their lives. They are admired and valorized for what they have been able to acquire through exploiting the resources of the planet, and taking advantage of their fellow human beings.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'San Francisco', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The entire object of capitalism is to keep as much as possible for yourself. And then we call those guys heroes, and examples of "success." We put them on the covers of magazines, and admire them as "leaders," when all they've ever shown is the ability to exploit others for profit.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'San Francisco', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
When we elevate these corporate "heroes" to the level of cultural touchtones, as symbols of "success" (actually excess), when we fool ourselves into believing that's what it's all about, we are losing much of what is most important, most beautiful, most precious about being human.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'San Francisco', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
When we elevate the ability to acquire the most money into some sort of cultural fetish of power, we ignore knowledge, we ignore compassion, we ignore empathy, we ignore humanity itself. We end up with corporations poisoning the planet in the name of profits. And we end up with an administration like the one currently in the White House.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'San Francisco', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We are so much more than this. We can be so much more aware, so much more caring, so much more charitable, so much more compassionate, so much more HUMAN. We have to find a better measure of "success" than the ability to exploit others and the beautiful planet upon which we live.</div>

<br />
Patient collectives which had provided safe access for ill Washingtonians for a decade or more were suddenly deemed “dangerously unregulated” by legislators who, not coincidentally, were receiving advice (and did I campaign contributions?) from I-502 merchants who didn’t enjoy the untaxed competition (and often superior products and customer service) of the medical side.<br />

<p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">Israel's natural gas reserves off its shores are considered a boon for the nation's economy. But the general consensus Thursday at a Thursday conference was that Israel is missing an even bigger opportunity -- in the field of medicinal cannabis.</p>
<p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">The conference, on how Israel's farmers could benefit from the global market for medical marijuana, was hosted by the Israel Loss Adjusters Association (ILAA), reports Niv Elis at <em>The Jerusalem Post</em>. The cannabis market in the United States alone stands at $35 billion a year, according to Doron Havkin, chairman of the ILAA.</p>

The scent of money has led to some sketchy deals and the welfare of mom-and-pop businesses, along with that of medical marijuana patients, has more often been taking a back seat to financial considerations (hello, Washington state).</p>

<p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">Michael Pelletier, a wheelchair bound paraplegic since the age of 11, sits in federal prison serving a sentence of life without parole for a nonviolent, victimless marijuana conspiracy offense. To listen to prosecutors and press reports at the time of trial, Pelletier was a calculating kingpin behind a multi-million dollar drug ring, living a lavish, opulent lifestyle off his ill-gotten gains. That narrative is vastly different from the reality.</p>

This argument is inaccurate as it clearly lacks the most basic horticultural knowledge of maintaining an expanding, dynamic gene pool. Access to stabilized varieties, especially heirloom and landrace, provides a large gene pool for horticulturists worldwide.</p>
