Q: Why we are not hassled for growing under 99 plants?
A: It's because Imam Obama signed a memo (Executive Order) telling all federal officers not to hassle anyone will less than 99 plants. It was the stroke of a pen by ONE person.

Q: How easy would it be to change that?
A: The stroke of a pen by ONE person. It could even happen as a result of a new King being elected.

Q: In a conflict of federal law v. state law - who trumps?
A: Why, federal law of course. In fact, we actually fought a war (The Civil War) to finally stamp out states rights. States don't get to choose many issues on their own. Among the issues that states have little or no control over are: abortion, education, taxation, defending their borders against illegal aliens (Arizona), and drug laws.

Q: Have the feds made any statements about 'legalizing' marijuana?
A: Yes. On October 16 of this year, (barely a month ago) the San Francisco Chronicle reported that "the Obama administration has denounced Prop 19 ... and promises to vigorously enforce the federal ban on possessing, growing or selling the drug if voters aproved the ballot measure. The pledge came ... from Atty General Eric Holder..."

Q: What does that mean?
A: That means that we got lucky when 19 didn't pass. That means that if it had passed we'd have federal officers kicking in our doors for a closet grow. He told us in plain english that if 19 passes - he will enforce the law as written - with vigor. That means we loose it all. That means that if we keep poking at the bear - we're gunna get bit.

The feds will never allow Oakland, or anyone else to do mega grows of 20,000 plants ... won't happen. You think they won't stop it? Remember Waco? Ruby Ridge? It will look just like that. Federal officers and National Guard fighting Oakland pot heads - taking it all down - with deadly force if necessary.

Is that the kind of face off ya'll want to force? And, the whole time the feds are warning us not to make them do it. They don't WANT to do it.

Marijuana is never going to be legal. Not in our lifetime. It is not legal ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET. There are international treaties involved here - and Oakland isn't going to change that. We live in a time when radicalism is the norm. Extremists everywhere. They push too far on whatever their agenda is.

Marijuana extremists will push till we loose it all. That is my prediction. Enjoy it while you can - it won't last. 99 plants is not enough for the extremists with an agenda.
