IVIV re CAMP

[Doug Millison]

The small scale pot growers I know will continue to grow organically  
and produce a pure, medicinal product.

I'm no expert but my sense is that small farmers more generally, in  
California and elsewhere, tend to embrace sustainable, green  
practices, and produce healthy stuff.

I'd expect that corporate interests who seek to profit from marijuana  
will do what they do now with other agricultural products, a mixed  
bag, in other words or appalling and appealing practices.  They are  
susceptible to consumer and governmental forces, too.
