I've noticed a few posts regarding medicinal cannabis & it's potential. Some believe it's the wonder drug & saviour to all ailments , others feel it has no place & some are in between the two opinions.
I'm an in between guy. Logically it's unlikely medicinal cannabis is going to cure all ailments however there is strong evidence to date that would suggest it has its benefits towards SOME ailments.
If patience & doctors believe it can assist with pain relief & epilepsy than that's a great start.
Those two ailments alone are enough to build CGB around. The pain relief global market is huge.
As for recreational use & legalization. Firstly I've used cannabis as a teen in social settings & never really took to it , secondly I don't believe smoking cannabis is good for physical or mental health . Medicinal benefits of carefully formulated cannabis drugs, different story.
This been said I'm absolutely for the legalization of recreational marijuana use. Our approach & tactics towards recreational drugs/enforcement are just not working.
I think it's time for a drastic change in how we approach recreational drugs, there are too many victims of the current system & it's not effective, full stop.
Our current system is costing too many lives & is economically crippling , not only on our shores but amongst the cartels & population that are particularly effected overseas.
I'm very interested in seeing CGL (CGB) prosper from recent changes to legislation regarding hemp & medicinal cannabis.
I'm very interested in seeing recreational marijuana legalized on numerous levels..
1) Current system is not effective & has too many victims.
2) It has the potential to make CGL (myself) shareholders very wealthy.
3) It will allow for a more competitive Australian economy, creating jobs, increasing GDP & diverting law enforcement funds towards other critical services & infrastructure.
The future is unknown nor success a guarantee however I really do believe there is potential in CGL & the industry across the board.
As a country we will move forward & not backwards in regards to hemp/cannabis & all it's uses, my opinion.
This is only going to benefit shareholders in the long term.
Cheers, Dan
