  1. Really sad that California is so greedy on the taxation of a MEDICINE that helps so many. Lower the tax then sales will boom. Most of us smart ones grow our own with a Rec. anyways now.

    1. It is legal to grow a few plants of your own. The police target the large illegal grow ops as they undermine the legal businesses and are often unsafe operations.
