IS MONSANTO GOING AFETR MEDICAL MARIJUANA MARKET WITH MIRACLE-GRO?

The thought of it is almost unimaginable, but many think that the company often referred to as the most “evil corporation” in history is now going after the medical marijuana market with Scotts Miracle-Gro.

Please research and do your own investigation before using any chemicals or fertilizers, especially if it involves ANYTHING that you’re putting in your body or using medically.

Scotts Miracle-Gro Looks to Help People Grow Marijuana
– by the Wall Street Journal

By DANA MATTIOLI

Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. has long sold weed killer. Now, it’s hoping to help people grow killer weed.

Scott’s Miracle-Gro is hoping to cash in on the growing medical marijuana business. WSJ’s Dana Mattioli reports.

In an unlikely move for the head of a major company, Scotts Chief Executive Jim Hagedorn said he is exploring targeting medical marijuana as well as other niches to help boost sales at his lawn and garden company.

“I want to target the pot market,” Mr. Hagedorn said in an interview. “There’s no good reason we haven’t.”

But the Marysville, Ohio, company relies on sales at three key retailers—Home Depot Inc., Lowe’s Cos. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc.—for nearly two-thirds of its revenue. With consumers still cautious about spending, the retailers aren’t building new stores as quickly as they used to, making growth for suppliers like Scotts harder to come by. Against that backdrop, Mr. Hagedorn has pushed his regional sales presidents to look for smaller pockets of growth, such as the marijuana market, that together could produce a noticeable bump in sales.

Sixteen states have legalized medical marijuana, the largest being California and Colorado. The market will reach $1.7 billion in sales this year, according to a report by See Change Strategy LLC, an information data services company.

While the report focuses on revenue from growers and dispensaries, Kris Lotlikar, president of See Change, said the market for companies selling hydroponic equipment and professional services is also thriving.

“We see very good growth for these types of companies as the medical-marijuana business grows,” he said.

SCOTTS MIRACLE-GRO, GMO'S, AND MONSANTO:


"1998 also saw Scotts branch out into GM technology, through the acquisition of 80% of Sanford Scientific Inc, “allowing researchers to create desirable varieties of plants with value-added traits far beyond the capabilities of conventional plant breeding techniques”.[7] Scotts also entered into a collaboration with the Monsanto company to “bring the benefits of biotechnology to the multi-billion dollar turfgrass and ornamental plants business.[8] Under the agreement, Scotts and Monsanto agreed to share technologies, including Monsanto's extensive genetic library of plant traits and Scotts' proprietary gene gun technology to produce 'improved' transgenic turfgrass and ornamental plants. Other acquisitions in 1998 included the US company EarthGro Inc. and the continental lawn and garden products company ASEF."

"Scotts relationship with Monsanto became even cosier in 1999, when Scotts completed agreements with the company for exclusive US, Canada, UK, France, Germany and Austria agency and marketing rights to its consumer Roundup herbicide products. Scotts also purchased the remainder of Monsanto's lawn and garden business, which included the pesticide brand Ortho."

Do You Think Monsanto is Helping Your Garden?

by TAMARA

Do we really want the creators of Agent Orange engineering our food? Surprised? Let me share their specialty is neurotoxin POISON. They have already contaminated over 70% of our food supply and infiltrated our political system. Yes indeed, the makers of Round Up and Scott’s Miracle grow are buying up patents to our seeds, our food, and our future. One of their former attorneys now works for our FDA helping to write a bill for their bovine hormone usage in our food supply.

They do not have our best interests at heart. Their GMO foods are making us sick, their Round Up and Miracle Grow toxins are poisoning our earth and their profits are making THEM happy.

Stand up and refuse to buy GMO foods. Mac and cheese for your kids? You might as well hand them poison because 80% of all pre packaged food in the US are GMO. Wondering about fertility rates being so low? Our seeds are becoming sterilized thanks to GMO foods and that trickles into our bodies.

Don’t be fooled by Miracle Gro, produced by Scotts Company an arm of Monsanto. They are a billion dollar chemical company. It’s chemical based and it’s new Organic line is a Marketing ploy. There is no organic watch dog for gardening or cleaning products.

It is INorganic and contains oh so good for us grow crystals made of chemical fertilizers. Scotts also makes Hyponex soil which was studied by Colorado State University and showed poor plant growth. Read the report here“

  3. I’ve yet to see documentary evidence that corporate biotech researchers are actively engaged in GMO marijuana research and development, although some marijuana activists have publicly claimed that Monsanto is working on genetic modification of marijuana. I’ve seen evidence that government and corporate scientists are working on genetic modification of marijuana’s biological enemies, such as fusarium wilt, a horrible fungi that can kill marijuana quickly. Thanks.

  58. That category indicates it’s no medicinal use and has high abuse potential. There are attempts over the past 2 decades to shift it into a special category, but unsuccessful. it’s obvious there’s a lack of a consensus on whether its medicinal properties, as 15 states as of 2011 have legalized its usage for multiple medical conditions.
    Is it reasonable for the US to continue classifying marijuana intrinsically when other addictive and cancerous substances like nicotine are allowed? That’s a hot-button topic.

    The link between tobacco and various cancers is obvious, yet it’s business and it does produce tax monies. There are clear labels on these products, yet over 20% of the American public smokes order marijuana online
    A 2002 Time magazine poll showed a tremendous 80% off use citizens supported legalizing medical marijuana. Within the early 20th Century, artists and intellectuals were frequent users of marijuana to enhance creativity. By the mid-1920s, the American media had latched on to the thought that there was a connection between marijuana and crime, both violent and sexual.

    it’s pretty clear at now that’s not true in the least, on the other hand even with no research to copy that fallacy all states had laws by the 1930’s regulating marijuana usage order weed online
    The Commissioner of Narcotics at the time, Harry Anslinger, crusaded against marijuana ahead of the congress, the medical establishment, and therefore the media warning against its dangers to society.

    As a result, in 1937, congressional hearings ensued with the result being the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. This didn’t make marijuana illegal but created a hefty tax structure around every part of the marijuana cycle (cultivation, distribution, sale). The onerous nature of the Act pushed marijuana usage to a negligible status.
    Finally within the 1940s research began beginning showing, marijuana to be relatively harmless compared, to hard drugs like cocaine and heroin.

    The association with violence became negated and understood to be presumably from the alcohol being consumed in conjunction with marijuana.

    However, with the legal structure placed around marijuana, the overall public saw it as dangerous despite, an increasing body of research showing it to be relatively (not completely) harmless.

    During the 1950s and ’60s, marijuana use increased, but research mostly focused on LSD and other hard drugs. By 1970, the National Institute of psychological state reported that 20 million Americans had used marijuana a minimum of once.

    In 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 42% of school students had smoked marijuana.
    As more and more research shows that marijuana doesn’t contribute to violent behavior, it seems only natural that folks would feel they have been lied to by the govt agencies who are responsible for interpreting these issues. Marijuana has got to be obtained illegally for medicinal usage in 35 states to the present day, and patients need to sleep in fear of federal prosecution.

    Should marijuana law and policy be reconsidered? Should it simply be re-considered for medicinal usage or overall usage and be sold next to cigarettes, cigars, and alcohol?
    In the 1970s, there was a push to de-criminalize small amounts of marijuana.

    For those supporting decriminalization, the overall view was that the laws against marijuana were more harmful than the drug itself. President Carter in 1977 involved the decriminalization of small amounts, so did the American Medical Association and American Bar Association. It didn’t happen.
    The 1980s saw a reverse of those efforts, and with Reagan, the War on Drugs ensued with tougher policies and penalties on just about every drug. Marijuana usage went down during this decade while alcohol, cocaine, and crack skyrocketed. The 1990s saw a reversal of usage trends. Between 1992 and 1994, marijuana usage doubled in adolescents.

    Marijuana isn’t harmless. The cannabis plant has over 400 chemicals in it, and there are tons we do not realize. Should it’s illegal though? Should it still be a Schedule 1 Narcotic?
