Monsanto, Bayer, and the Push for Corporate Cannabis

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Monsanto, Bayer, and the Push for Corporate Cannabis

Post by obelisks »

Powerful corporate interests no doubt had a hand in keeping cannabis off the market. The question now is why they have suddenly gotten on the bandwagon for its legalization. According to an April 2014 article in The Washington Times, the big money behind the recent push for legalization has come, not from a grassroots movement, but from a few very wealthy individuals with links to Big Ag and Big Pharma.

Decades ago it was claimed that Big Tobacco had acquired copyright on such names as Acapulco Gold, Panama Red and so on, presumably in the vague expectation that if and when Mary Jane became legal in the USA, the copyright-holders would have a monopoly of the name.

Let's say that is true. So what? Big Tobacco has always provided a wide variety of products and good qualty control at reasonable prices. The biggest cost of tobbaco products is government, not corporations. If the corps are behind the push for legaliztion, I say more power to them.

grassroots movements rarely have the r&d clout,finances or skills to produce anything for the mass market.

we need "powerful corporates" to produce what we as the consumer want not some angry conspiracy dope heads.

everything we use in everyday life is made by these monster evil corporates. get over it.

What they don't like is that weed is dead easy to grow yourself.

Apart from that, weed could help save our environment from the plastic disease, by using hemp products instead of petroleum based.

it doesn't bother me because fortunately I'm now in my very senior twilight years and I can look back happily and say I have had a great life and I have definitely seen the best times.
and I definitely don't envy what is facing younger people and particularly those who seem to willingly embrace these giant corporations like Monsanto who in collusion with the UN have Agenda 21 in store for you all :D
.Enjoy :D
