Food prices

[hemet dennis]

Dennis I wasn't planning on engaging in a conversation with you, but since you asked, I have no problem with patents. I do have concerns with what Monsanto is doing with their seed patents because they are establishing a plant (food) monopoly. It is my belief that you can't just have Monsanto once. Once you go Monsanto, you are stuck with Monsanto for life. And sadly, there are allegations that even those who chose to not use Monsanto's GMOs have found themselves in legal battles as the wind carried Monsanto seed to their farm from their neighbors GMO farm.

I do believe that Monsanto may be using the cannabis community as pawns. If Monsanto patented seed is being unknowingly circulated among the community, Monsanto will claim the patent once the FDA gives them the go ahead to grow for the pharmaceutical companies.

To answer your question: I very much support protecting intellectual property. I do not support devious patent monopolies, especially a monopoly as serious as the global food and medicine supply. Clear?

So you only want to protect some peoples intellectual property and you think you're qualified to judge who should be protected ?
Do you really think the people that grow weed are worried about the patent laws ?

Yes cause dispensaries often grow their own cannabis since patients aren't always able to. Dispensaries are establishments that care about laws and patents regarding cannabis.

I can view deceptive practices just like any other, except perhaps you. And yes, those who grow medical cannabis will be concerned about patent laws if Monsanto comes and demands their money.

Or maybe you just believe deceptive monopolies are an acceptable part of life....

So under what federal law are they growing their weed legally ? Or is it only the federal patent laws they worry about ?

How are they being deceptive ? Or is that just you judging people again ?

 

[hemet dennis]

So does anyone think the weather will effect the nice GMO crops this year ?

Considering the FDA is now led by a former Monsanto executive, its pretty easy to see the connection.

Yes I judge people. I will keep my judgement of you to myself. We're done.

Oh you'll be back with another off topic comment. You should have kept your judgement of Chickened to yourself also.
