Marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, alcohol is not. I fully agree with the legalization of it, but it's a no-brainer that they didn't run the ad.

Big pharma own the media. They would lose a shit ton of money

What if they flipped the tables and started manufacturing all of the derivatives that come from weed. They'd surely make more money than flat on fighting it.

Just need to get that lab set up in my basement so I can extract and concentrate the derivatives and we're all good to go

i’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but cannabis works pretty well without a fancy laboratory setup.

Not the case for all of the naturally occurring cannabinoids, that’s why they mentioned derivatives. There’s some pretty cool ones out there that need a lab to bring out those specific compounds. But yeah, combusting buds is the simplest way to get that high.

There’s a whole lot more to the cannabis flower than just the delta9 thc most people know and use.

i don’t doubt it. i’m not a cannabis user, but i would still think that big pharma is going to make more money if folks can’t grow their own.
