Mark, you need to improve your messaging. If you can't find a reason to restrict advertising, eliminate heritage nomenclature and consolidate the market for coffee beans under tight legislation, the same should be true for cannabis - given the fact that both cannabis and coffee beans are soft drugs with similar risk levels: http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/library/basicfax5.htm - instead of this, you are foisting stigma on the cannabis community that encourages tighter regulations than the hard drugs - alcohol and tobacco. This results in a consolidation of the market under the control of those who can afford to jump through all the unnecessary hoops you are creating. This leads to poverty for those who can't jump through those hoops, which leads to bad health outcomes. You should really stop arguing that cannabis should be treated like a snake that spits thalidomide ... instead you should encourage cannabis to be treated like organic, fair-trade coffee beans, and young pot smokers and poor pot growers/dealers to be treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.
