Get an education before you start spouting mindless propaganda.

i knew as soon as posted what id like to see as far as dispensaries goes id have at LEAST a couple of ex-felons pop in in protest, but fact remains,the majority of the dispensary owners in california have felony records, most for drugs. realistically, someone whos not been involved with illegal drug activity in the past just doesnt wake up one morning and say "heck man!...im gonna open me up a "non-profit" dispensary and start selling pot, all to help out my fellow man!"...sorry charlies, it just DOESNT HAPPEN. the majority of dispensary owners in california were like i said, street level pot heads/dealers that saw an easy and mostly legal way of bringing their illegal business indoors and presenting it as legal. and the fact remains, if these guys who have done that get the oprotunity to do it or continue, it will literally kill the whole ball of wax for those LEGIT dispensaries and patients.

the way i see it, if a prospective dispensary owner/worker has nothing to hide and is on the level, i dont think under those circumstances they would have one single problem with a background check, taking a class and being closely monitored by the county/state. if they were on the level, why would they?.. the ones who protest are the ones that are going to be doing the "grey area" and "shady" shit under the table and on the side when they think no ones lookin. it would be just like going to work at just about any legitimate managerial job in the marketplace. youd be subject to an extensive background check (ex-felons DONT get those sort of jobs by the way) after your background checks, youd most likely have to go to an "orientation/class" to learn what you can and cant do on the job,ect. and then after going to work, youd have a "district manager" looking over your shoulder.

hell, if i were opening up a dispensary id WELCOME the county comming in and helping me set things up , that way id KNOW UP FRONT im doing things to their specifications.....

IMHO no legitimate person wanting to get into the business and be on the level would have ANY problem with ANY of that. its the crooks and illegal dealers who would ( have the problem) because they wouldnt be able to sneak around and sell shit on the side, lie on the books, make fake ass donations to non existent charities to make themselves look OK and non-profit,ect . man, alot of these guys are putting YOUR MEDICAL MARIJUANA RIGHTS AT RISK...are you OK with that?.....im not. furthermore, for those of you who are thinking "oh, well, they cant do shit cause the voters passed it", well ya better wake up. it wouldnt take much at this point to get both 420 and 215 knocked out of the box, and thats exactly where this shit is leading. dont think for one second that youll be able to "overrun" the government and force them to make this shit legal for everyone by breaking the law and stacking bullshit up. when have you EVER seen ANYONE FORCE our government, federally or state level to do shit?....they will shut every dispensary every co-op,ect in the ENTIRE STATE DOWN before they ( the government) will allow any civilian to force them into shit.

also, if they ever go to the point of getting rid of 215 and 420 , youd have to bet that penalties for marijuana possession and use will go thru the roof

(oh, and by the by, glad you got your life turned around and got into the computer business...problem now is everyone who can plug in an AGP card or connect a hard drive cable is in the "computer business"...personally, im retired now, but i have my A+ certification, MCSE and novel certified, apache ,ive got a degree in computer information sciences, own 3 online forums ( one of them is one of the largest dealing with the specific topic it does on the internet) licensed hunting outfitter and was a licensed firearms dealer and gunsmith for almost 20 years...i also for all of '87 and the better part of '88 worked at Guantanamo bay for the military)


all im sayin is some of you need to get the joint out of your mouth, collect your heads and get right with this shit before it comes down and fucks everyone out there.
