I went to their presentation in the square, I might have written about it on here, obviously dodgy, even though I should really support what they are trying to do.

In theory I do too. But what exactly are they trying to do? Seemed to me they were selling themselves as some sort of co-operative growing operation and suggesting that any 'shareholders' would be able to get access to their product oh and of course receive a massive return too! I was bitterly disappointed to be honest. No one will grow industrial quantities over here. Why would you pay for electricity (light), heating and staff, when you can get all that for free in Southern Europe? The only thing that will be grown, will be a small R&D amount to enable them to claim that any IP for some new drug or strain was developed in the IOM and therefore get the tax benefits, royalties etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted Monday at 04:13 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:13 PM Nah I agree with you. The whole medical things is simply a way to generate some tax money from an otherwise (here VERY) illegal thing. They are obvious shysters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted Tuesday at 08:42 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:42 AM Interesting...... https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/dealer-cheaper-than-medicinal-cannabis-man-tells-court/ This happens elsewhere where it is recreationally legal too, but usually places like the US where it is pretty cheap on the street. Weren't there some people on here that received it on prescription, or are close to someone who does? Would be interesting to compare the real world street prices vs inflated police valuations vs the prescription costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to compare the real world street prices vs inflated police valuations vs the prescription costs. It is mostly cheaper on prescription, by a pound or two a gram, but there is a large set up cost and you have to buy the full prescription at once. No 'twenty bag' from the chemist!! Also, right, the medical stuff is odd. I assume it's been through some additional processing step that the normal stuff hasn't. It's not as nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t want to be seen as ‘seedy’ so overtly the government is against it, conveniently forgetting the absolute monumental pile of seediness that goes on covertly. That kind of seedy behaviour is acceptable. The other, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwebs Posted Tuesday at 03:41 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:41 PM Rockerfeller/Allopathic/Big Pharma is a hugely lucrative cartel which aims to make money. It offers "treatments" rather than cures as a person healed is a loss of revenue. Natural medicine has from about 100 years ago been made almost illegal. Most doctors will not recommend natural treatments, or even a sensible diet. The God Plant has properties which make it effective against a wide range of issues with fewer side effects. Other illicit drugs similarly are known to have very good healing properties. The Big Pharma cartel has therefore destroyed the competition by making natural medicine mostly illegal, and known substances are banned. You should be aware of the history of Big Pharma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmorPPJqVCc Some reading: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6273146/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5297475/ Lots of information out there. Most people are oblivious to the issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
