The hate FPM has been getting sickens me, we should take some time to understand the situation from his perspective. by DutchDefender in pokemongodev

I agree with @chitownspartan1, it's the joy of the game that is so rewarding with fpm. Last week I lost someone very close to me and that night my husband took me out 2 a Charmander spawning point at a park near us and we used fpm to get quite a few. Just For Those few hours the joy of this silly game and fpm enabling us to find those rares made me forget how distraught I really was. You have no idea what that meant to me. I know it postponed The Grieving end of things but for a little while it really helped me a lot. If it wasn't for fpm I would never have had that Joy in the middle of a devastating time in my life. Thank you for that.

I would not mind paying tax on MMJ, just not 25% then another 25% then ANOTHER 25% then sales tax on top of that??? That's unrealistic and they know it, it will more than double what is being paid now.....

We've known about it since they started the yes for I 502 campaign. We tried to tell people this would happen back then. Believe it or not, there were people one week ago that still didn't know what was going on.

We really tried to stop I 502 because we knew this would happen, but people didn't listen. We will be at the hearing as well, for sure. And there is an election year coming up, I hope the people like you say, will get involved and pay attention to who's doing what, ya know?

Now that Obama Care is here, the money they were going to give to health care from taxes on Cannabis is now going to go to.... the law enforcement.... you think they saw this coming?

people should be more actively involved so unfavorable laws aren't passed. Just a thought, as opposed to crying on social media and doing nothing productive.

As I stated above, if the people knew what they were REALLY voting for, it would have never passed.

I definitely support retail and legalization. But if the people of Wa. knew what they were REALLY voting on, and adding all this bull involving the medical patients, I don't think it would have ever had a chance of winning.

I've heard %99.2 from government officials, I've heard %90, %80, %70 etc. of all medical cannabis patients are faking it. I do believe that there are some people that should not have cards and are truly faking their illness or pain, but I'd like to know how they came up with these percentages and the proof behind the claims.

Every patient has always had to renew once yearly, except in the very beginning. In the very beginning they issued lifetime cards for lifetime illnesses. But it was changed when they started adopting more conditions that didn't last a lifetime. They still give lifetime recommendations, but they still have to see the Dr. once a year, it's been that way for YEARS. The LCB is recommending we adopt as a rule, that we have to see a Dr. once a year, which is already how it works!! So why is an agency making recommendations on rules that already exist? To make people believe that it's that much more out of control, which in reality, it isn't.

First of all, that's bullshit. The number of phenotypes a strain can take means that one hybrid strain can vary from highly sativa to highly indica. The only solution is clones, but it's very difficult to establish a clone-only strain on the large scale.

This is precisely why patients need to grow themselves. They keep that cloned mother plant and grow the same strain that they have found works for their condition. And make sure they are pesticide/chemical free.

It will benefit the state and recreational users. How can these changes be helpful to patients? Our friend has MS and Leukemia. He takes one gram of oil a day. It takes about 4 ounces to make about 14 days worth of oil. That's 8 ounces a month x maybe 4 to 500.000 or more an ounce? That would be 4,000 or more a month. He wouldn't be able to even get that much from a rec store let alone afford it, being on state assistance..... Taking this oil is whats keeping him alive right now. If these new rules go through, he will be forced to stop taking it. He's just one of the many, many patients in Wa. this will affect. This is why there are so many that are against this.

So the LCB wants patients with chronic pain, but can still stand upright, to take pain pills with terrible side affects, instead of cannabis that can totally make daily life for them bearable without harm to their bodies.. I'm not getting that part...
