in the future of cannabis will be in the hands of the guy in the business suit, not the stoner. I found this highly offensive. First of all. Wearing a suit does not somehow automatically mean you are more qualified to educate and sell marijuana than a stoner and what is wrong with being a stoner? Why is there still this stigma around being a stoner? Some stoners are very nice people. Some stoners are even patients who use marijuana to relieve symptoms of debilitating diseases. Personally, I would trust a MMJ patient over a business guy in a suit any day. A MMJ patient is more likely to be in it to help people, they will probably be more knowledgeable about cannabis and they are more likely to give a reasonable price than someone in a business suit.
