Cannabis Farmers Council Petition

As a Producer/Processor survivor since 2014.....like the rest of us, I've worked 7 days a week 10-16 hrs daily & have not made $1 personally.  The business is still severely upside down, yet we're so busy that we can't keep up with our sales.  There are so many industry imbalances as to be untenable...retailers to whom we sell are buying new 6 figure cars & new homes for cash, & we can't pay our basic bills.

Now the investigators are going through the police academy, aren't the bullet proof vests & lock & loaded weapons enough intimidation?

Isn't it obvious that if only the multi millin dollar start ups survive, the wholesale prices will skyrocket?  It is not normal new business attrition when a thousand, or more, producer/processors have already closed their doors...without the farmer, there is no industry.

Total excise tax collected to date is $175,483,048 (502data.com) To date, four states (Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska) and their citizens are reaping tremendous economic benefits, including a decrease in both crime and arrest rates. The value of Washington’s Cannabis consumption is larger than the state’s entire wheat industry, and already about half that of our world famous apple industry, surpassing all other crops ranking it currently in 2nd position. To maximize this explosive growth it is critical that the current 37% tax rate be reduced and vital to the survival of the entire industry is that all bans and moratoriums be immediately removed. I502 is a state law and as such should be enforced, not circumvented.
