I hope they don't completely legalize.

[painretreat]

:smokebong:

Once you are growing it legally, it slowly becomes more of a chore. But I'm sure I could wrap my head around a warehouse of organic soil hybrids, with charity auction Tuesdays and Primo Fridays, with end-of-bud clearance sales. (cured nugget grab-bags)

:joint1::joint1::bonghit::vap_rasta: for a charity like wine and cheese fund raising events for the local little league! lol! PR

I/R the minute it is legalized the tobacco companies are already in a good place to take over??? Not surprising. Sad to see all those old familiar names to the wayside. Imagine looking at pot like picking out which kind of Dorito to eat! pr:jointsmile:

Using micro breweries as a business model, I would almost immediatelly open a couple of Bud Boutiques. (after borrowing shitloads of cash, on an unsecured loan, from the oh-so-generous Obama administration) Rebudlican Central Commodities, The Sativa Shack, and Indica Junction, Starbuds. (three or four seperate shops)
An eclectic mix of hempwear, potions, powders and teas, set in a quiet and comfortable atmosphere of fascist-liberal bashing and insider commodities trading. Since it's my business, I plan on catering to the folks I'm comfortable with, lol.

[WhiskeyTango]

supposedly, they already beat us to it ... story went around, back in the early 70's, that Kentucky tobacco companies copyrighted the popular pot names (Acapulco Gold, Panama Red, etc., etc.), in case pot ever got legal, they'd already have their foot in the door ... dunno how true it was :smokin:

Quite true... I got a family member that works for philip morris that said they even have the pack designs n shit for marlboro golds...lol the lil ribbon with horses on the front of marb packs is replaced by a green leaf and gold trim....

and my 2cents.... CLEARLY those of us that intend to get into the business end of this, whether medical or recreational NEED profits to turn a business. I do not intend to rob anyone by any means. And there will be assistance for less fortunate patients to still be able to get meds, regardless of money. I DO intend to make money, dont get it twisted. BUT...... my intentions into going into this is to make it available at REASONABLE prices. I have a few close friends now who I have been GIVING mj too for years now. My neighbor has MS, and has been dealing with it her whole 49 years. I have NEVER charged her a dime for mj. Other hand....my buddy has a buddy or whatever that wants some killer. not the schwaggy crippy floating around...but good shit. HE will pay 120 for a Q. Call me greedy, go ahead. But helping people for free only works if you have miraculous donations of mad loot, and are already hiding a pirate ship fulla gold...
Medical needs and recreational WANTS are 2 TOTALLY different things in MHO.
good vibes

sounds good, but watch and see, it won't be long before 'BudMart' comes into town, and runs the local 'mom-and-pop' businesses into the ground :S2:

[Rusty Trichome]

I have no doubt that with the current administrations stance on protectionism and the financial ideology of tax and spend...import tariffs would equalize the field a tad. Regardless...you can't beat the local farmers market for freshness and quality.

Would it be a stretch labeling the crop as "free-range", so we could charge more?

[Mississippi Steve]

sounds good, but watch and see, it won't be long before 'BudMart' comes into town, and runs the local 'mom-and-pop' businesses into the ground :S2:

I don't think that weed will be legalized until the elected officials *SEE* the massive tax revenues that are possible. California collected over $10,000,000 in taxes from legal dispenseries.... How much more could be made were it possible to walk into a tobacconist shop and buy a pack of joints, or a bag of bud.

[ChipThaRipper]

You do make some good arguments, but the fact is people go to prisown for maijuana and their lives suffer for it. Their families lose dads and moms. It has to be legalized because we all know the government has no legitamite reason to keep cannasbis illegal. Their is so many guerillas and average people who cultivate marijuana it could never be totally controlled by governemnt no matter what its legal status. They would have more control, but at least we could tax to help the over all welfare of the country. We wouldn't be looked at like the outcasts of society for simply using an herb that's been around since the beggining of time. We need to stop the oppression of our rights and be able to use marijuana as responsible citizens and not be seen as criminals because we are not criminals we are free thinkers we do what we believe is right even when the mass majority of the people see it as a negative! :rastasmoke:

The appeasers compromising are desparate or greedy traitors,
I wouldn't trust as far as I could spit...

You can't tax vegetables.

I've been getting Nutiva shelled seeds almost a year or so but they aren't keeping up with inventory. Usually the local grocers say they order but Nutiva haven't shipped. I went to Living Harvest oil.

Because Nutiva cannot legally grow hemp in the United States, we must reply on Canadian farmers to produce our hemp crops. Shortages of organic seeds often occur due to weather or because surging sales outstrip supply.

Editorial As We See It: Should Pot Be Legalized?
CN Source: Santa Cruz Sentinel February 25, 2009 Santa Cruz, CA
We don't think we'd be accused of "smoking weed" to venture that Santa Cruz would solidly be in favor of the state of California legalizing marijuana.

Pot Proposals: Calif. Sees Tax , N.J. Eyes MMJ
Legalizing and taxing California's supposedly biggest cash crop - pot - could add more than $1 billion a year to California's coffers, according to backers of a proposal put forward yesterday in Sacramento.

MMM 5.2.9 D.C. Convergence 7.4.9

Legalize? Oh my. I do this to relieve stress of hospice work.
Secretly, I just like bashing Fascists.
I don't recognize any law saying Ganja is illegal.
How would they bust the inventor?

Its not illegal. Its a plant. Laws based on lies are not legal. No one wants it legal. Except those without connections. Those believing in the system. Those vulnerable to illness grasping for anything making them feel better or cheaper, without going to jail. Which is very unlikely unless you're selling it or growing it in public housing. Or getting too much favorable press. The bad laws need to be removed if integrity is going survive. Notoriety usually only leads to one of the tools of Fascism. Degrade, stigmatize, demonize. Neo-Liberals are good at shunning and ridicule. Raising their eyebrows writing Patriot Ax' behind closed doors. While Neo-cons rant and rage for the kids sake as they spray poisons on eradicating ditchweed. Or send them to wars for oil replaced by cellulose in hemp stalks. Neo-cons have no worry in enacting Neo-libs laws. Just harder for them to write them do to their reputation as Fascists. Neo-libs are Fascist too. Klintoon busted more than Nexxon, Rayguns and Boosh combined.

There has never been a realistic thought of zero tolerance, no money in that. The government corporation takes in more tax with you in prison than working at Micky D. No shortage of jobless to fill your spot. Can't afford anymore educated, outside of the lineage. Higher Education Ax keeps undesirables in the labor pool for life. No Pell grants. Banning foodstamps only leaves stealing for the hungry. More profits and return taxes in an overcrowded cage than from someone who can't even feed themselves or their families. No job since the owner found India and Waldomart Chinese sweatshops. Not concerned about those kids. Anti choice rednecks aborting more babies with Cliarence Thomas Monsanto poisons from crop dusters on cotton crops not used on Hemp. Same chemical companies adulterations added to cigarettes not added to Ganja. Doesn't matter to the Oblamos feeding a bigger tobacco prohibition.

Or naturally the drug worriers who seldom if ever enter reality. Kids given drugs by guidance councilors far more damaging to health, far less trouble than a pesky authority questioner. Homeless deterrents from whistle-blowing. Oil dollars and monopolies. Driving off competition any way they please. Electric trollies replaced with fossil fools or homegrown burlap on supposedly sovereign Indian territories banned, as they do US family farmers. Or Mexicans crossing the border for migrant labor could be growing a staple to feed, shelter and clothe themselves. Corporatism fascism socialism nationalism jerking plastic flags sending kids off to a lie to come back wounded or traumatized then caged for growing a remedy for what the government denies as an illness and a remedy. The TV is "programmed", the 6 o'clock news gives enough angst to stoke the fears to re-consider telling the bossman to shove it.

Ganja is outlawed because it has no infrastructure. Its a plant, grows in most dirt. Lot of work in the combat zones of prohibition. Booze lasted until the Rockefellers, Carnegie and Mellons discovered how much they were losing in not selling materials for the booze infrastructure. Vats tanks pipelines trucks bottles caps and kegs. Steel, Oil and Banksters needed an alternative to prohibit. Then the rhetoric reefer mad bogus headlines. Every decade tweaking the details. Violence to Mellow, makes you dumb and immoral. Leads to hard drugs even before they are invented. Its illegal cause its green. They hate vegetables. Its illegal in their minds. The cages are real because the sheople are cowards. So if you want reality you're in the wrong building.

And since I don't think this is rock surgery, I have to believe that the powers that be know too. Or if they don't someone should remove the bullets and hide the nuke button. They need believing people and people want to believe. Censorship in school books removing the word hemp is a red flag. Removed by slot machine Bennett/Education Secretary/Drug Czar is also a red flag. So if Rx Ganja isn't recognized and isn't taught or permitted as a defense in court. Then there is no justice, just an agenda. And "educated" idiots not taught but getting high grades in Bullshit, now are "professionals" influencing the media and perpetuating confusion maintaining the dysfunctional Ganjawar.



I have found as a home health aid spreading Ganja medicine and info 20 years, I have to get in the doctors faces and even the most strict defenders of the status quo give in to the family when the Pharmaids run out. It all starts with the patient and sometimes families will side with the cops and others learning from DARE pamphlets. Al Gores sister choose to go without Ganja for political reasons. Nurses seem more accepting. Foreign students and younger nurses seem more likely to go along with the reefer mad authority and primitive treatment, even torture denying patients Ganja. Doing no harm falls behind doing nothing to jeopardize the reputation or job. To believe hemp is a lie to legalize pot for the cartels when it is sold on the net should end the war and have the Bizczars DEAth Merchants in straight jackets.

The internet has educated many thousands, maybe even millions out of 6 billion people. Stoners out doing most groups on the net but it only reaches a small portion of the planet and even the country. Under 10%. We have 12 million hungry and 2.4 million prisoners no one hears about or are taught in school. The USS Constitution Jack writes about with 65 tons of hemp has been refurbished with plastic sails and rigging. The message thing again. Plus cost savings. I wonder if the Smithsonian is replacing the drafts of the Constitution and Declaration with Kinko copies.

If you're waiting for a bozo politician to fix the system before toking, you won't be toking. Lies aren't in the physical world and as long as you try to fix what isn't real, you will spin your wheels another 65 years. Its not only Ganja. Its food, fuel and building products. You buy these products keeping them in business keeping competition out via prohibition. Don't buy their products and when they see we have an impact they will change. But Ganja is also like area 51 or whatever. The red herring is UFO's but something is going down.

Ganja since the Scythians, has a property making it uncomfortable to do things drug worriers do. Snitching out of duty or treating people in a degrading fashion or lying as a means to an end that wouldn't hold up under truth and realism. Herd mentalities. Non questioning entities required to keep the rusty machine running. Ganja causing things to be unsettling, leads people to question. Then when questions are dismissed it leads to revolution. Same reason kids in school shouldn't smoke outside of medical reasons. Questioning ciriculum gets you ritalin or bad grades and blue collars. Abstain or home school until you can afford an Ivory tower like the rock stars not getting involved. The forefathers or Pancho Villa Hippies or Beatniks or Protest-ants all associated with Ganja. The enlightenment period. Archeology discovered traces of hashish in the ancient temple incenses. Did Jesus inhale? Pope says put them in cages. Conserving compassion for something better. Well it must be 4:20 somewhere fardup!

The Drug Czar is required by law to lie

"Having reviewed all the material available to us we find ourselves in agreement with the conclusion reached by the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission appointed by the Government of India (1893-94) and the New York Mayor's Committee (1944 - LaGuardia)that the long-term consumption of cannabis in moderate doses has no harmful effects" "the long-asserted dangers of cannabis are exaggerated and that the related law is socially damaging, if not unworkable"

Britain faces summer of rage - police

In the UK, police are preparing for a "summer of rage" as victims of the economic downturn take to the streets to demonstrate against financial institutions.Britain's most senior police officer raised the spectre of a return of the riots of the 1980s, with people who have lost their jobs, homes or savings becoming "footsoldiers" in a wave of potentially violent mass protests.

Police also claimed that the availability of cannabis in the Netherlands probably helped to defuse any violence. Scores of ticketless England fans gathered in coffee shops in Eindhoven, where cannabis is sold and smoked, to watch the game, greeting the defeat with mild disappointment and unusually, gentle applause. "It (cannabis) may have helped relax them," Mr Beelan added. "Even the hooligans enjoyed the party - and they told our officers. There were lots of things for fans to do and everybody had a good time."

"There's been this growing trend of alcohol-related air rage, episodes of drunken passengers creating in-flight disturbances. The studies I've seen say that alcohol . . . contributes to violent and aggressive behavior. The simple thing is to let people make the safer choice to use marijuana, which doesn't contribute to violent behavior."

Amy Goodman's Weekly Column
"Jailing Kids for Cash"

As many as 5,000 children in Pennsylvania have been found guilty, and up to 2,000 of them jailed, by two corrupt judges who received kickbacks from the builders and owners of private prison facilities that benefited. The two judges pleaded guilty in a stunning case of greed and corruption that is still unfolding. Judges Mark A. Ciavarella Jr. and Michael T. Conahan received $2.6 million in kickbacks while imprisoning children who often had no access to a lawyer. The case offers an extraordinary glimpse into the shameful private prison industry that is flourishing in the United States.
