You need to step into the 21st century with growing a healing plant. This plant takes you off toxic addictive pharmaceuticals. I've grown my own medical cannabis for over 16 years. A drunk driver ruined my ability to work at all. Your lack of research on this issue is appalling. How cannabis gets to a dispensary is basic and sterile. How does organic medical marijuana get to the dispensary? In a container, glass or plastic, usually. Didn't you see CBC's Marketplace where big grocery chains repackage old meat dipped in fresh blood and redated? Or mouldy fruit on custard tarts in the bakery section? Organic medical marijuana is much safer and non-toxic compared to the agri-tech, mono-crop, GMO-poisoned, hormone-and-no-exercise toxic meat. The choice is yours.
