The initiative process is ONE way we have of telling our public servants what we want; and it allows that we have the power to TAKE it if they don't step up.

Systems...every system....is all about give and take and balance among the many parts, but unless we are all (and each) focused on peace, with an intent to achieve harmony among ALL the interest holders....to create a win-win rather than a win-lose scenario, it's all just another form of aggression and war-making. The intiative is about stopping the violence against us, and freeing the plant...about restoring balance.

We, the people, want cannabis freed, and we want restored our freedom of choice to use it, or not. We want the law enforcement and courts systems to back the f off and quit arresting us. We want the right to live our lives, and manage our health and well being, free of government control and opposition. We want the VIOLENCE to stop. We want the plant free.

HOW our gov reacts to the initiative is UNKNOWN. I don't give a crap what they come up with for "after" we pass the inititiative....whether they call it an herb, or a controlled substance...the truth is: it's a PLANT!...and from the moment the initiative is passed, WE, the people, are in the driver's seat.

FREE THE PLANT ....and let's move forward from that place of restoration.

james, i love you dude, I really do, but something about how you express yourself feels so very harsh and angry, and it seems like you look for trouble where there is none, and it seems you keep fishing in still waters for old boots or other unknown and disappointing dangers so that things are always mucked up; and, of course, I would like you to be free of that fear (that's what it is you express...fear)....to become the sovereign you are meant to be, free of the past, confident and assured, safe and protected, free to stand tall and live your life. But, if you choose conflict, well then, that's what you'll experience, and seem to want to spread, so you'll just have to accept that some people are going to avoid or dismiss you, just to avoid that unnecessary energy. Dude, focus on love.

time, i love you, too.....sincerely, and you are a dear friend and you ROCK....you're sick (aren't we all??) and keep coming so close to dying..... and through it all, you stand firm and strong in your convictions: a clear speaking crone doing her part to carry the torch FORWARD for the future. You're awesome!

I will sign the petition again, and again, I will urge others to do so...so that the plant's freedom is restored. Whatever happens from the gov after the initiative passes, and when the chips start falling into place, it will mean ONE thing: we, the people, have spoken, and our government better shape up and LISTEN.

They'll listen. If they don't, then we have a much bigger battle that demand our attention then being afraid of being busted.

puff, puff, pass.....ah, blueberry! puff, puff, pass....ah, Bob Marley!

I've missed you guys....

Thank you my dear for pointing out I am in the middle of a war zone in defense of our rights.. and as such am a bit bitter as we all are from our experiences of prohibition..

I just manifest it in an unorthodox way.. believe you me though, our political climate understands exactly what I am doing...even tough our community here does not...

Who gets busted for 9.59 grams with a valid authorization and the system uses a non-authorized licensed person to extinguish a patients rights... is this our laws we voted in?? Sorry, wrong !! we voted in that ONLY Dr. LICENSED in WA. may authorize it's use... since when did a non-licensed person enter our mmj laws??

So dealing with the fallout after this initiative is passed... makes me shake my head in disbelief...

Stop and think of the repercussions before we jump this time... I don't want to die without this plant freed for the use of our future children...

Sorry my words are harsh and not very palatable....HONESTLY !!

p.s. I LOVE YOU ALSO, PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE TO PROVE MY THEORY IS CORRECT BEFORE CONDEMNING ME.
