My Earth Day keynote address: "The role of medical cannabis in 21st century agriculture"

Last month, I gave the keynote address, "The role of medical cannabis in 21st century agriculture", at the Bowling Green, KY and Western Kentucky University Earth Day gathering. That presentation is now on YouTube at the link below. The room was packed so the audio is sometimes difficult to hear but the Powerpoint presentation will tell the tale.



The medical cannabis bill I have written for Tennessee involves our TN Department of Agriculture in playing a pivotal management role and hopes to enroll as many as 3,000 licensed and supervised farmers in producing safe, effective and inexpensive (e.g., $100/oz) medical cannabis. Hope you folks enjoy the presentation. As always, I would appreciate your feedback. I am taking this show on the road this summer, giving presentations to county Farm Bureau boards across the state. That is, when I'm not overseeing my own two acre organic blueberry operation.

Thanks kindly. Now back to the Garden.

I love the inclusion of the tomato plant. A perfect comparison.

And the LD50 of nicotine! God damn. We really endured a load of bullshit over the decades.

Thanks for sharing your work.

PowerPoint raises my IQ considerably and I've had thirteen years post-raid to accumulate some good slides.
