This quote was taken from the May 6 Sun Journal, regarding state-proposed medical marijuana regulations. “While these may seem like commonsense safeguards, they present major financial and operational challenges to small, local caregiver businesses,” said Jennifer Belcher, president of the Maine Cannabis Union Association. “These are not large-scale operations. They are everyday Mainers.”
I have to question, are the so-called “medical marijuana” industry and lobbyists more interested in profits or their patients’ health? Everyday Mainers are the guinea pigs, just as we were for the cigarette and alcohol industry.
Profit margins are the downfall of our entire health care industry. Health and safety should always be a priority.
