Of all the horrendous schemes perpetrated by CLOWN QUEEN Genetics Collective this latest scam is by far the worst. 
As some of you may have noticed CLOWN QUEEN has been spouting this line recently online:

To our loyal United States patients:
Clone Queen is Federally approved to operate NATIONWIDE. We are 100% Legally allowed to offer Cannabis Plants to 420 Friends of all 50 states.


This is in fact a BALD FACED LIE. I personally emailed NORML this morning to inquire about this supposed sudden and drastic new change in federal law regarding the distribution of medical marijuana (including clones and teens)  in states that have not been decriminalized. While waiting for an answer I did a search online and found NO INFORMATION WHATSOEVER SUPPORTING THESE CLAIMS. If anything, in the recent months the feds have been coming down harder than ever on collectives and patients. 



See for yourself how in recent months even states that allow collectives to operate are having the feds step in and shut them down. But Clone Queen wants us to believe that the federal government allows them to distribute marijuana plants to all 50 states?? If the feds are coming down on collectives who are only encouraging patient to buy medical marijuana wouldn't they be even harder on collectives encouraging patients to grow plants on a large scale?

Marijuana is STILL a class 1 drug

From www.whitehouse.gov


"Regardless of state laws to the contrary, there is no such thing as “medical” marijuana under Federal law.  Marijuana continues to be a Schedule I substance meaning that it has no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse."

Now perhaps this is what Clone Queen is basing their statements on:

But these changes ONLY apply to states that have legalized marijuana  - NOT all 50 states. Only 14 states have approved the legalization of  marijuana. Any patient not following state law is still liable to be prosecuted. 

"The Justice Department will continue to prosecute people whose claims of compliance with state and local law conceal operations that are "inconsistent" with the terms, conditions or purposes of those laws", according to Holder and Deputy Atty. Gen. David Ogden.


Why would a collective which claims to have it's patients best interests in mind make such an outrageous and erroneous statement? Do they really know so little about basic marijuana law in this country? Or do they just not care? Are they just willing to say and do WHATEVER IS NECESSARY to lure patients in to giving them hundreds and thousands of dollars?

I am disgusted with their latest attempt at scamming patients. CLONE QUEEN GENETICS COLLECTIVE is a DISGRACE and should be SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. 


I am waiting on a response from NORML. When I receive one I will post it. If in fact NORML tells me that Clone Queen's statements are true, I will retract what I have posted in this entry. Until then, I am going off what I have found online.
