I'm from the Netherlands, where smoking weed has been legal for years. We're famous for it! The crazy part however is that buying weed (outside of a licensed coffeeshop) and growing weed is illegal. This means that coffeeshops are buying their supply from criminals, while perpetrating a crime themselves at the same time. What we need is to legalize the production and wholesale part of the chain (no pun intended) as well. I think a system like Paragon could do wonders for the Dutch system as well.
How can smoking weed be legal but buying and growing it illegal, it makes no sense. It's almost as if the government didn't want to get taxes from cannabis sales and wanted people to buy from criminals.
There are a lot of projects attempting precisely this, but they fail constantly or can't gain the traction they desire. What about you guys? 
Try to keep an open mind to the benefits cannabis has to offer, especially the medical uses it has. And just because it has such a taboo these are hardly used, its a real shame. And i hope Paragon will focus on the medical usage of cannabis, with the quality control of the product they can offer it should be possible.
