In May, combined recreational and medical sales ($74.31 million) fell marginally from April ($74.64 million).<br /><br />In Washington state, retail pot sellers had been enjoying month-to-month jumps until July, when revenues from recreational marijuana were $31.1 million, or down about 6 percent from June, according to data from the state Liquor and Cannabis Board. Despite the dip, Washington’s recreational pot sales are on pace to surpass $300 million this year.<br /><br />And in Oregon, where legal recreational sales began earlier this month, pot retailers pulled in an estimated $11 million — or more than double the $5 million worth of recreational marijuana sold in Colorado the first week it was legal to do so.<br /><br />Combined, marijuana sales in Colorado, Washington and Oregon will easily surpass $1 billion in 2015 — and may hit $1 billion in Colorado alone.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-3436846965906139452015-10-12T11:26:48.507-10:002015-10-12T11:26:48.507-10:00Income inequality is a much bigger threat to the p...Income inequality is a much bigger threat to the people of Kauai than GMOs but I doubt the 2491 realtors want to address that issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-28454180055722953012015-10-11T17:26:45.733-10:002015-10-11T17:26:45.733-10:00To 3:41 PM:

Only idiots who cannot understand why we all need gmoʻs and poisons to grow our food, even if they are created and controlled by foreign countries. I love eating food which has been grown with poisons because I know that food has no worms or strange insects or bacteria in it. And it looks much better also. Have you ever noticed the nice shiny apples produced with pesticides- they are so much more appealing than those dull splotchy organic apples with the holes in them. We would really be in a fix if we didnʻt have these poison companies to help feed us. We certainly are not capable of feeding ourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-42403556064874583312015-10-11T13:13:34.789-10:002015-10-11T13:13:34.789-10:00Just because it's organic doesn't mean it&...Just because it's organic doesn't mean it's safe<br /><br />Recall: Disgusting Organic Cheese Infested with Listeria<br /><br />http://www.hawaiifreepress.com/ArticlesMain/tabid/56/ID/16103/Recall-Disgusting-Organic-Cheese-Infested-with-Listeria.aspxManuahihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935756151568533081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-83443669612746922452015-10-11T10:53:58.411-10:002015-10-11T10:53:58.411-10:00So Lilly proclaims, "The facts are I have sev...So Lilly proclaims, "The facts are I have several degrees in biological sciences...."<br /><br />But he won't list them or the schools from which he received them.

Why would any intelligent person trust companies like these?"<br /><br />Do you understand what the lawsuits are about? There's nothing harmful about the genetically enhanced corn in question - about 3% of US corn crops. China doesn't acknowledge intellectual property rights as it has its own biotech industry. It refused some corn sales from the US in an economics motivated move by claiming that it hadn't yet approved the 3% corn which hasn't been proved to be in the exported corn anyway. Because China was manipulating corn prices, farmers expect Syngenta to cover their losses. And they might win. But it's not because the corn has been shown to be harmful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
