Your response is appreciated....I needed a few more minutes to clarify my points of concern.... the pinkieville reference would have been coupled with...OR CBIS.
My point is...you continue to blame CBIS as the only cause for all their delays, and apparent failures when current intelligence indicates significant "shape-shifting" in Washington which may tend to produce some results as we presently see them....I am not trying to provide broad excuses about the quality or temporal accuracy of CBIS news releases...but I am raising the issue about adversarial forces working against CBIS since your arguments do not appear to recognize the impact of contrary elements working against CBIS. It seems, our ability to have an open, and frank discussion here has its limits due to regulations.
OK...I have seen many times where you support the value of cannabis science....as you have adequately stated...
"As for hope in this science, I have clearly stated that the cannabis science/movement and what can be only discripted as irresponsible actions by this management team are two different issues."
I see the unfolding story of CBIS as definitely linked to the politics of the science...OR...why would a commercially valuable non-psychoactive plant like HEMP still be illegal?...Yeah, let's keep subsidizing the economy of China while the US flounders economically.
So...you want us to dismiss the influence of current "politics" working against CBIS? I suspect...it must be your job. And why is cannabis still listed as a schedule one drug with heroin when it has not caused a single recorded overdose death in the entire history of our planet? Do you really believe there are no controlling political forces at play here? We all know cannabis KILLS cancer...should we be celebrating, laughing, weeping, or praying for deliverance? Actually...we all need to vote at the State level to be heard.
You seem to be a highly intelligent person though I find the nature of your "unfurling logic" like a slice of Swiss cheese....with far too many holes to permit a clean cut at the object....just my opinion.
Your closing reference to Dabney doesn't quite ring a bell for me...but...I'm willing to bet he's a skeleton from the past...Oh...excuse me...Good Morning Mr. Dabney !!!...I didn't see you standing there....I'll remove my heavy foot from your aching toes as soon as possible.
You appear to be flailing wildly at the end of your post...brother....I invite you to join the cause of world healing by supporting CBIS for your own sake and that of your loved ones. Please allow yourself to reconsider your stance...at least privately...in case you are not permitted to look that direction in public.
Best Wishes
