of the same type of topic im having about this very thing but whats going on in cali. here's what 1 wrote.
you r very correct when we first started this "campaign " if you would on making the great prop 215 noticed , all our goals were simple and i hope the other forefathers agree with me on what i say here ,they were to free the people who wanted to use cannabiss as a medicine of choice versus other harsher meds that could litteraly destroy someones life from complications or side affects .and breaking that long or should i say life long silence that everyone should stay in the closet about there cannabiss use after all i was in America at the time as i am a world traveler .we spoke freely about our use and that it was a medicine breakthrough that it could help with so many symptoms like : anerexia insomnia depression cancer aids aches and pains of all magnitudes . the first forefather of our generation , speaking in the past 15 to 20 years in my sight would have to be the late and great may God rest his soul DR. Tod H. Mikuriaya as he broke the silence about the goverment testing of cannabis and released much needed data that the general public was un aware of . one that there was still 11 or so patients who still recieve cannabiss from the goverment which i know at the time i found out i knew nothing of ,and that these patients benefited from the meds not sure how many still are left hopefully all of them ,but back to the goals also that the plant would eventually be freed to all who needed the medicinal plant, and as i look back now we have definetly came a long way{now u can go to a clinic and purchase clones freely in some states mind you}, but still have much more educating to do , beside freeing the plant reducing prices for those who could not grow or afford it {i have given away lots of medicine for those that needed it with prescriptions of course} due to there illness or whatever the reasaon might be ,yes the key word always and still with me and many others till this day is COMPASSION that was our mission to be generous to those in need of this magnificent medicine and to show all of man kind that this beautifull plant was nothing to be afraid of of course like all meds dosages and regulations are alaways best for each indivdual user , when we first started people were all in Q with each others thoughts on this struggle to prove cannabiss has medicinal value but along the way just like anything else in the world corruption began from non patient and some patient affiliates not sure if thats the word im looking for turning it into a street thing instead of a COMPASSION thing but still the non patients should have some say as they r the more recreational users which i have no problem with i respect everyones wishes sometimes even when i dont want to i guess that comes with having an open mind , i must say when we first started i used to see patients and recreational users so much more paranoid than they r now , so with that we are getting some where not to mention alll the ralleys and festivals all around the globe that take place several times a year man the memories put a big smile on my face because everything we accomplished was for the better for man kinds tommorrow ,why should we throw people in prison or jails for something that is peoples choice?when all that happens is heart ache break up of happy families and innocent people being taken advantage of by people we expect to preserve our rights as citizens of whatever country we may be in .let me close by saying i do not mean to show boat my image or talk bad about the goverment as all the goverments in the world must do there job and yes that means some of us must get screwed but hopefully with the right knowledge they can someday open there eyes and see what we see , i think instead of these cops who are packing cannon sized artillery and raiding clinics we should have DOCTORS ,SCIENTISTS ,PROFESSORS and any men and women with higher learning to observe {raid} or search clinics to make sure meds are of high quality and safe for public use etc. i could go on forever as cannabiss freedom is a very sensitive area with me since it has helped me with my condition and my high stress due to all of lifes little obstacles so with that let me say to all we have much more work ahead and educating the uneducated, as our late and great may God rest his soul RONALD REAGAN said in a old movie he was in
{i hope this is right} go out there and win one for th GIPPER .......................
my response
back to reality nothing in this world is free never was never will be.and it really should'nt be everything has it's value to each person it's a diffrent value but does hold a value.to say someone should work and give over all there hard work/product and should'nt get comp'd for it well there's a word for that it's called slavery. b4 money it was trade but very same concept tho.if not alot of people would starve. mj was never ment to be "free" u even show that in your post u might want to read it. prop 215 was to give anyone the key word here"choice" to choose this drug over the gov controlled drugs"choice" and to grow your own as well if u see fit.
i see it like this if it's supposed to be "non profit" like everyone keeps saying then riddle me this and this comes str8 from the gov the whole "none profit"thing u can see where the atty gen says it if we see anyones making a profit those are the ones we will bust right? well if thats the case then how come the shops have to pay taxes? case in point,churches,goodwill whatever they are "none profit" they pay no taxes but this"compassion"drug is "none profit" yet is taxed to fuck and back?people need to wake up proof that you can't have your cake and eat it too.all anyone sees is "it's legal now yea" but they don't see that big shiny dong that the gov will slide in and outta ya anytime from any angle they want.the gov and quote"it's a compassion thing and u better not make a profit and if we catch ya we WILL fuck u but on the back side while we have you blinded u better believe we gunna take a big ass cut of it" thats what i see and thats the truth of the matter.
so in essence what your saying is shame on the shops for trying to do what they do but no prob on giving the gov there cut? never heard anyone bring up this. my point is how much compassion is it and thats coming from the gov themselfs the compassion bs lmao yet they need a cut of all the action? now if it was really a compassion thing then the gov should set up a free based program to give mj to the people that can't afford it and can't grow someone really bad off.oh wait what was i thinking were talking gov or any "free based"program is never free it gets funding by who? lets all say it at the same time you and me.see how that wheel turns back to u and i every time to fit the bills 1 way or another?
like i said b4 nothing is ever free. but lets get down to the real brass tax here cause im way to smart to have the wool pulled over my eyes here.are u saying your so bad off that u can't work or even grow your own? naw did'nt think so u know what im getting at.the whole compassion thing is a front for most people to hide behind.everyone thought hey when it becomes legal and a compassion we will get all our shit from next to nothing.everyone forgot about business in gen and the reson anyone and i do mean anyone opens a biz is for what ? yes to make a living.and weed is the new gold rush b4 it was legal noone complained to there dealer hey thats to much why? cause the dealer would prob charge u more next time or short u or well just say fuck u go somewhere else.yes there are alot in very much need of it and are to sick or hurt to provide for themselfs ofcorse they should be delt with diffrently.but you and i and everyone here knows the number of the rest that"CAN" OUT WEIGH those people so really it comes down to wanting something for nothing and most ride the coattails of the whole "compassion" thing.LETS BE MEN and lets get real here.
p.s im not trying to down anyone but i have a very good bs detector right here in my pocket and i call it like i see it to the T.some might call it crude or whatever but i say the ones that are'nt being real with themselfs need to be.and im not namecalling or anything like that or being mean either but the truth is the truth.
ps u never see anyone bitching about seed vendor prices?compassion? it's ok to pay for the seed but not the finished product? humm 10 to 100 per seed sometimes and everyone is glad to fork it out and if u get to talk to them online and mark out to them even better.but whoever buys those seeds and grows the great plants that the vendors cross and they want to try an make a living off it well thats just evil? seems abit twisted here?u know what would happen if that happened everyone would say fuck the bud biz im a seed vendor now see again how that works? is your brains awake yet?
ps not hating on the vendors even tho it sounds like it lol. im not it's proving a very good point.i think it's great you do what you do and i expect to pay for it to and gladly
ps not saying one should charge 1000 an oz but if they do just remember this little detail in my wisper voice"u don't have to buy it"there are other places, this is a country that u have that choice not totally free but u do have choices. think of it this way if everyone thinks like u do then that person won't have it at 1k for very long.but as far as the shops go seems like everyone does'nt have the same view or else this would have happened already then again this is america the people here are known for there ability to complain about this or that then the very next day go right back to doing it.i don't get it but thats the case.i already know why but i'll let u fig it out.
