| Where's Weed? |
the city council is made up of a few local buissness owners, is it not? well just find out wich buissneses they own and make it public to the ones who voted to get mmj and everyone boycott their buisnesses they may change thier tune when the cupboard gets bare .
This is an outrage. LA City Council is just looking for an easy way out. We are all aware that a few things need some fixing in regards to the way these places run. But shutting them all down is not going to fix anything. This will only harm people. This is going to hurt the "volunteers" of these facility's who rely on it as a source of income. Many of which have family's they are supporting, and they have bills to pay. What about the patients that rely on the safe access that provided by these dispensers, co-operatives and collectives? The solution to this problem is erasing those barriers between medical marijuana users and the City Council.
My group at wwwThcNation.com has been working on such a way to help break those barriers down. THC Nation urges those that are in Los Angeles who lives are benefiting from the use of medical marijuana to come out to the City Council meeting and SHARE YOUR STORY. We must start telling our stories. We must start speaking up. We must tell people WHY it is we use medical marijuana. We must start taking this seriously.
I've heard that just too many clinics started springing up, getting out of control which leads me to ask, "Who the hell issued all those the permits/licenses ???" . The real question here is "Who the hell is getting paid off by Big Pharma to go against the will of the people & start attacking legal clinics?". Over 30 yrs ago I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, 2 different doctors wanted to do a colostomy on me. Oh hell no! But I lost my very good job with the phone company, couldn't leave the house etc. The 3rd doctor put me on Lomitil (after I stated I didn't have insurance.), it is a narcotic. My body started getting used to it, the dosage kept getting higher & it was causing me a lot pain in the other direction. Finally I asked him what was in my future. He told me, off the record, that I would be better off smoking pot. He might as well have told me to mainline heroin. But a medical resident friend produced the first joint & damn, it worked. Within a year I was in remission & have been fine since. Incidentally, I haven't smoked in over a decade, don't have a source, don't really care. No withdrawals, no freaking out. Quitting tobacco required meds & I am NOT giving up coffee but I am down to one cup a day. I wish I wasn't on the other side of the country or I would be at that meeting!
No doubt all the local illegal drug dealers and drug cartel representatives desperately want this ban, not to mention Big Pharma and all the other competing industries.
we really need more activist lawyers. one way to beat them is to keep suing them. this whole prohibition on drugs is completely against the 1st ammendment right to religion, and the 8th ammendment by putting people in jail for a plant and the penalties and fines are clearly punishments that do not fit the crime, the punishment and bail is cruel, and excessive. the federal government involvement in marijuana goes against the 10th ammendment. thats 3/10 clear as day constitutional violations. we need to keep putting these violations before the court until we get judges to finally start judging constitutionally. we need to pay real close attention to who we elect judges in our area.
Right you are & in NY there is a judge with cancer who is trying to be heard by Congress. He admits throwing people in jail & now he has cancer & the the only thing that helps is pot. Wow. And he admits to getting it illegally. Of course the president just smoked for the fun of it. Wonder how far he would have gotten if he hadn't smoked.
I can only hope these people stand up for what's right, the citizens have spoken by passing the use of medical marijuana, now some idiotic fool is trying to hinder a patient in getting it. Enough already let the citizens vote this jackass out of office next term and hope the rest of the officials do what they were elected to do and that is carry out the wishes of the citizens. I hope the day comes that it is him or one of his loved ones suffering lets see how long it takes for him to change his mind. This works and helps so many and it takes a lousy cold hearted government to keep it out of the hands of those people who need it.
Yes, let's go agains the will of the voters and ban what they asked for. For the pharmaceutical companies!
As Paul Stanford, (OCTA) Oregon has pointed out, the Fed CSA, Title 21, Section 903, says States can control and regulate "Controlled Substances" DIFFERENTLY TO THE FED". This means any Fed terrorism and interference of State Legal Cannabis Use is whats ILLEGAL by the Fed Govt's own rules.
Yes IT DOES MATTER what the People & State want, by Fed law alone. People & States DO have a legal voice to go different to the Fed, without attacks. The Fed Govt and its departments should be taken to court, charged and fined, with fines going to the illegally attacked States and People.
Also, Czar Gil has admitted the Fed is "Partners" with Big Pharma, a clear monopolistic collusion at the highest level, and also deserves a challenge in court.
We also know its not just Big Pharma in this buy out of the Fed, especially in the Congress Auction House where all goes to the highest bidders, including the Fed Govt itself. Just money, not truth, prevails. Do Cannabis/Hemp interests have to put up the highest cash total and bid this way for truth and freedom, to end the BS?
The Czar also has a mandate to only allow false negative info & attacks against Cannabis (NIDA, FDA, etc as well) and to not allow any real truth or research to be accepted or done at all (that gets done outside the Fed only). Rigged lies are seen as the only way for the Fed. This also needs a court challenge, where there is a basic principle to bring out truth. Yeah, we know, don't bet on it.
As we see, even the US Attorneys deny any exposure of actual truth, so even legit provable truth of Cannabis Benefits is ignored by Fed legal system as well, DEA directed.
A large people's voice and vote may be the only way sanity will prevail to end a very costly useless prohibition.
So glad so many all over the US are saying enough is enough and acting in State Law to say so. This is thankfully growing. The senseless crime of prohibition must & will go. The Fed & cohorts kicking and screaming all the way.
Hey guy, this is the USA. We do not have a centralized gov't like Britain or France. We actually have the opposite. Our Constitution establishes a gov't based on 'federalism,' or the sharing of power between national, state and local governments. Both state and national gov't have their OWN exclusive powers, as well as shared powers. Creating new laws and/or creating laws to enforce the constitution are powers held either by the state alone, or both the state and that national gov't. Now you have been pwnd.
I believe if we forget the lessons of the past the past will repeat itself. Thus the Civil War, individual State rights!
