    This sounds good. Perhaps it will lessen the general public's irrational fear of the mild intoxicant Cannabis which is far less addictive than alcohol and tobacco, which most Americans don't seem to have a problem accepting into their lives.

    So has anyone watched this show yet? I forgot about it and downloaded the first 2 episodes last night... I must say.. I personally would have never thought a show like this would be on tv... they straight out give you grow tips.. they break it down in a very professional manner it seems.. not making them out to be some "pot stars" but serious business men that are dealing with serious issues.. they also really give you the scoop on different types of marijuana and are really pushing the CBD.. and trying to make their viewers understand that there is a lot more helpful ingredients in marijuana besides THC.. I think this show is gonna be a hit! Could pursued a lot of non-smokers to understanding why people use medical marijuana and that it's not all about getting high...

    I watched the first two episodes and like it. However the focus is way too much on the Deangelos who run the Harborside dispensary in Oakland. They have done a lot to push the medical cannabis agenda in California, and their operation is a model which has taken the MMJ dispensary from the shadows and shown others how to do it right.

    The war the Feds have engaged in with California growers and distributors is getting worse by the day. I just heard hundreds of California dispensaries have shutdown thanks to threats by the Justice dept to confiscate the buildings and assets of not just the dispensaries but their landlords as well!

    Anyway I'd like to see more info about what else is going on beside with Harborside who must've financed this series to get so much coverage... There are other issues in other places regarding this war with the Feds. But Harborside does illustrate much of what is wrong with our Federal law against marijuana.

    Yeah I found it fucked up how in California a dispensary is a business.. But there ain't another business in the California area that has to pay their taxes for the whole year up in front... it seems more like store suicide to try and pay taxes for money you haven't even seen yet.. its tough for them.. a dispensary that made $24million last year(i think they said).. i can't imagine how a new dispensary would even open... "ok well if you want to open.. we need $100,000 in taxes in advance for your estimated sales"

    Sounds nice ill have to check it out..
    Did you ever watch the marijuana inc show?
    They showed that on history channel too and it was neat.
    They showed in dispenseries and the huge plants where they grow.. and other stuff but not that in depth like giving tips. awesome!

    It was so funny the lady was smelling it i guess she was like a reporter and she was like
    'Im just smelling it i dont like it or anything'
    hahaha

    I havent watched it yet but im gunna have a lookout for it.

    If you believe in doing such things, consider showing some love for the program's sponsors too. Dismantle the police state one step at a time.
