Let's take a poll...

Which is your favorite reason #whyIcannabis?

1. Because I’m a contrarian and (not so) secretly love a good shock factor.

3. Because I’m a worrier.
4. Because medicine is medicine.
5. Because I hate calories and hangovers.
6. Because botany is real.
7. Because no industry should have to operate in the Stone Age.
8. Because traditional business disciplines are necessary in every industry.
9. Because “vices” should be taxed and regulated.
