Oakland the ground zero of Marijuana Legalization

[boaz]

Zugu: The sky is not falling. Everything is just fine - and will remain that way as long as we don't stir up a big stink. Check your basic fact of civics to see which trumps: State law or federal law. California is not going to war with the USA over this. We already fought a civil war over states rights, and that issue has been decided. If/when the feds cut off the money - the California politicians will fold. Do you really doubt that? Also, Bush didn't go after MJ because we didn't try to "legalize it" when he was King. ...

he tried but he couldn't for the very simple fact that we don't kings in the U.S. We have a system of federalism that allows both local laws and local law enforement and national laws and national law enforement.

Was the State of New York "poking the bear" when they ended their state alcohol prohibition laws ten years before the end of federal alcohol prohibition? No. They were using their constitutional right to set their own local State laws. This is how national policy is made in our united states.

but, I'm not going to argue this any more. if you guys want to believe that we need to bow down to the "king" then go ahead.

Regardless of how you feel about the present state of the law you should not blow weed in peoples faces literally and so to speak. In a town near my property I see folks walking out of the collective with boxes of clones plainly visible.

School is not out and people need to be cool to the feelings of others to keep the status quo. Please don't blow the cool deal we have with weed by flaunting it.:smokin:

Portland is the hub of all the strange kids from school have grown up and moved here. We are all about cheap herb and not ripping off eachother. We all eat well thats not a problem we are just not greedy. OAKSTERDAM is the worst and the clinics there. They charge max street prices and pay next to nothing for thier herb. It is sick that is why we voted it down in portland the growers didnt want this to turn into greedy California. Any time you get involved with Normyl the cops show up. i dont know how it is down in California but they are connected with the feds here. I would stay away from them. We do our own thing here grow everywhere even studio apartments . Anywhere in this cty to grow they do it. And nobody cares and we dont see shootouts on the news over grow houses getting robbed by mexicans. I love Portland.
