Man you hit a good point with the non profit angle. I really hadn't seen it that way. I am certainly not in the know about how they tax non profits though.

All I know is what I have heard about Sapien, and that doesnt mean much. The SWOP folks are in his district and that is what lent credibility to the story that I heard. I didnt see that his proposal was really an attempt to collect taxes as much as get the issues in their faces.

I beleive that the economy/border issues/drug wars trilogy is playing out as a political issue more and more lately (duh! Only 12,000 deaths in the last two years within ten miles of the New Mexico border!). Gary Johnson could be a contender for prez and legalization will be one of his pitches! So it truly is fixing to split wide open. Just a few years ago you would do hard time in Arizona for posession of over an ounce. Now they are looking at some very Californian ideas. Californians are talking about total legalization, and as I understand it (as of a few days ago) any card holder can grow unlimited plants and the State looks the other way. Law enforcement is even pushing for legalization with L.E.A.P., and reform groups are really gaining momentum.

So pardon me if I get excited about it all. I know that the MC program does not stand for legalization, and what may be good to change the drug policy is not nessessarily good for medical cannabis. Still, when they start talking about taxing marijuana I get all goose bumpy thinking about how American business would flourish if we just grew what we consumed and kept a few billion dollars in the US instead of give it to murderers and theives.

Cartman saved the world with his filthy fucking mouth. I truly believe that stoners can save America from depression and socialism by growing sticky bud.
