Hippie is used by many as an insult and most don't even know what a true one was. Unless, you really study it or lived at the time. You could look at a 'hippie' and just know! We would be sitting in a circle with headbands of hemp, clothing of hemp and a smoke cloud above! Allow anyone to join, no questions asked. No discrimination, etc... It is used and abused now.

I was thinking a few days ago: FACE IT THE 'BABY BOOMERS' really have been running this country for the past 16 years. 8 years going North and 8 years going South-from economy to the military!

Remember don't talk don't tell! Marijuana will and is no different to Obama. I believe I recall I heard him say on numerous occasion's--it is a 'State Issue!' First time I heard that, "Reagan was written all over it! He shifted so much on the States, New York was the first to have the biggest economic problems back then! And it will get worse and worse. The States shift the financial prob. to the Counties and City's! That is why our school teachers buy pencils and paper (all supplies) for the students. The budget has to be balanced, because Gm/etc are in the same mess our country is!

Would it be a sin, to think: Is legalizing mmj a priority right now? Are we being too selfish. Or will it actually help the economy? We know!


For those of you that recall the last 15 years- Take my word for it, as I've said before: The only "Change is a new occupant in the White House!" He just doesn't realize--HE HAS TO UNDO EVERYTHING BUSH DID WITH OUR RIGHTS; from Medicare to you name it. Every year medicare and social sec. and disability gives you a $20.00 raise or so in your income and then raise your Medicare in many ways to cost you at least $50. more a month. That I know from first hand experience.

Legalizing mmj, in my humble opinion would lower the cost and take a major burden off the medical crisis. So, many things are easily treated by it and harmlesslly! Not that I condone or tell you to diagnose yourself, but if you have mmj as an option to sitting for hours in a Dr. office once a month for perscriptions--I choose mmj! When you hurt too much from diagnosed problems, doc gives you opiates, etc and we find mmj helps the most-I say, I will choose which is best for me. WE ALL NEED THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND MMJ! So many go to the Dr.just for a pain pill for a toothache to get to the dentist, the ER must cost hundreds of dollars to give someone 4 pills until they see the dentist. That is where a lot of taxpayers dollars go down the drain in medicine and ER's are going out of business. These people can't pay. But, they can grow. And I have been there, also! Legalize for the economy.

Legalizing cannabis only makes financial sense.

Obama was very evasive about it in his speeches and I sensed a rat from the start and prevously made the contrast of 'don't talk to tell.' They tell us anything to get elected and then change--that is what the change stands for!

Many here voted for him on that issue alone. I did not make that the reason of my vote, expecting a flip-flop!

When we picket, we don't even have anything on us! For those that do it! Because, you can get arrested in some counties in CA. Even if it won't stick and gets dropped. You still have legal fees and the stress.

I TOO WILL DO AS STORM CROW and sit back and expect nothing. As I know if I expect nothing--I will not be disappointed.

And if it weren't for Charlie Manson (for u youn'uns) we might have grown our communes much larger and have our own gated communities like the Mormons-but all religion welcomed. If they won't legalize it before I die, I'd like to see us get off our arse's and make our own communities like the mormon's.

As far as, breaking the law to fix it!!! I do not agree at all. We all most likely break a law daily and don't even know we.

I know for sure: I am not perfect and I've made a lot of mistakes in my life (especially for choosing a career I opted not to toke, except vacations; for fear I'd kill someone). Responsiblility starts from within.

If you check this site and see the enormous amount of members and visitors. That alone is impressive and somehow, only a few actually follow thru and support: MAPP, Nrml and the sites REALLY working for our rights-Get involved.

Easy to say. If you are growing, you even need to learn how to get involved more discreetly--like donate money to help the cause! Write your Congressman and Senators as the other threads point out. And stay at it, be regular.

Oops, back on my soapbox! Obviously, I want less gov't in my daily life, yet I depend on what I put into it, to live on now. I fear those that will bear the spiols and fruit of our (that is me, a hippy-baby boomer) current baby boomer generation. In fact, I think Obama is about 1 year short of fitting into the criteria for a baby boomer. Truly, the torch was past!

Vape, toke and edibles-only way to go! How do you get a quarter million people to do more than post! The info is here, please help the cause?

O.K. Granny, off to voice my opinion there! Thanks for the info, as usual! I hope you retire and start mmj classes for the entire public--infomercials, football stadiums and the school gyms. In the circuit to educate the idiots and reach children with the real facts about "gateways' and crap like that! pr :rastasmoke::thumbsup: to all that take action in one way or another. :420thought:
