Every time I hear this, I can only think of Republicon plants that just want to return us to the days when "Republicans" ran the show.... What a great way to capitalize on our distrust of Demoncrats... Vote out "the majority" so they can be replaced by the "other majority"

Here's a novel idea.... Don't just vote them out, vote for someone who's not part of their two party system... Better yet, stop B#@$%ing about what "Politricksters" are doing and take advantage of our wonderful BALLOT INITIATIVE PROCESS.... I am amazed at the number of people "interested" in politics that ignore this invaluable tool...

Forget the state AG knowing anything about the mmj law, he's now joining other GOP AGs to try and find the Health Care Bill unconstitutional. Typical kool-aid sot.

I'm new to this board. This is my first post, so I hope I do it correctly.

I've been looking over several of the threads. I've applied for my MMJ authorization, and am waiting to find out the results.

After reading the comments on THIS post, I wanted to throw in my 2¢.

My own personal rule regarding politicians: If they are anti-marijuana, I want to see them voted out. Plain and simple. If they don't have the brains to realize marijuana is benign, refuse to acknowledge all the studies done, and the anecdotal proof, they don't deserve to be in office. If they believe it, but choose to ignore it, they're probably corrupt, and don't belong in office.

I'm in my 60's, and retired. I vote in nearly every election. I can say in 30+ years, I've never voted Republican OR Democrat. Green party, Independent, Libertarian, etc.

I believe in the 'vote out the incumbent' principal to a certain degree.

A couple years ago, I found the Libertarian party. There ideals and platform run parallel to my own. I now call myself a Libertarian.

Late last year, I received information about a relatively new program called GOOOH. (Get Out Of Our House).

I bring this to this post, because of some of the comments I've read here. It would behoove you to check it out. (www. .com). It's a system that puts the power of the government back into the hands of the people. If you go to their website, there's a movie viewer that has 7-8 short videos. Spend a half hour or so watching those. It explains how it works.

Didn't mean to make this political (too much), but many of the comments in this post sounded like they were coming from like minded people. Figured I'd throw it out there.

I'm from the 'just south of Olympia' area. I intend to grow my own once approved. In the meantime, I'd be interested in any info on obtaining MMJ. I came here looking for dispensary/co-op info. Once I get my recommendation, I'll be happy to accept any seeds or clones. It's my understanding that a 'no fee involved' transfer from one MMJ patient to another is legal here in Washington.

Hope to be an 'official' member soon. :yippee:

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. I too have been a libertarian for a couple decades. Its not for everyone. It really does take this country back to the constitution and scraps a lot of the crap that has been tagged to federal control. But it would be my preference. I'd prefer if any states wnat socialist type programs that the states do it, not the feds. Then its a little more controllable.

+3 on libertarian platform!

Yeah and thats part of the big problem. Its not a prescription, its just a recommendation. So its not really medical. I would still prefer that all laws regarding MJ would be removed from the books. Its a plant, no plant should have to endure the persecution of our government. They've done it with a lot of other plants too.

This is from personal experience.
I was on DOC (Dept of Corrections) due to LEO popping my grow just as I was getting my Dr.'s recommendation.
I was on 1 years probation for not having my permit at the time of the bust, ..even though if the bust had happened within 3 weeks, I would have been in my limits and legal.
Anyways, during my probation, I was told by DOC, I could not use medical marijuana.
I had my attorney schedule a hearing with a judge to clearify the meaning of this, since by law I am legal to take marijuana as medicine.
The Judge stated and wrote that I was legal to use cannabis and he saw it no different than if I was prescribed Vicodin or any other medicine.
I am now off probation as of 1-8-10 and after a year of monthly urine samples, they didnt say anything to me or give me any troubles, even though I medicated with cannabis on a dailey basis.
I think they just wanted to keep this ruling as quiet as possible.

Just thought I'd inject some personal thoughts on this issue.

Not really being a legal eagle, I believe what one judge decides, usually sets a precedent that applies through out the particular state unless it goes all the way through the appeals process and then get a final judgment from the state's highest court. Then its basically final and a real true precedent.

Glad you posted to let others know what a judge has determined. :thumbsup:

Thats good news. Now the next step is to allow prisoners the right to get there meds. I believe they actually should prescribe MJ for any inmate that wants it. It would help calm the prison population down.

Thanks Gypski, Its kind of hard to post that you've been busted. Ive grown cannabis for about 30 years and it was the first time my grow was busted. Seems you get a stigma or something negative when you admit the cops came to the house.
I just hope if any other patients are being harassed by the system that this post can help.
And yes, I believe my case set precedent on these type of cases. thats why DOC wanted it hush hush.
I got into an argument with a DOC supervisor on the subject of medical marijuana. Hell, she didnt even know it was legal for medical in our state.
Theres a great disconnect when a supervisor for DOC, a STATE agency, has no clues on how medical marijuana laws work, especially when their jobs are to be probation (law enforcement) officers upholding STATE laws.
