The Government Rag

​The Federal raids have begun again in California. Starting in sunny San Diego, with the intent of plowing north, not stopping ’til Eureka.
They’re not cherry-picking anymore. The first assault arrived last year when the Feds went for the low hanging fruit, closing dispensaries that were situated within a thousand feet of a school. It didn’t matter if the school was operational or not. One of the schools was a ballet studio that was exactly 999 feet away. No leeway. No discussion. You’re closed. 
The restrictions are the same for dispensaries near parks, playgrounds, and other locals where the kinder may be occupying. Because it’s always about the kids… Except when it comes to liquor stores and strip clubs, they’re copacetic.
Then there’s Market Street Coop in San Francisco, which was closed because of a nearby school that moved in after the dispensary opened. That didn’t matter, nor did it matter that there were 13 drinking establishments within the same radius. Obviously these saloons and booze emporiums are zoned for preschools, middle schools, bartender schools, just as long as it isn’t a place people that distributes non-federally taxed medicine to sick people.

Plant cannabis everywhere this spring. Overgrow The World!

​Overgrow The World has the same goal as most of us: “Full re-legalization of cannabis/hemp for all farmers and responsible adults around the world.” But OTW plans to achieve this goal through a unique method: planting marijuana in public, highly visible places.

A global “spring planting” is planned to specifically target areas which will be plainly visible, in order to get more national and international media coverage on the issue of cannabis re-legalization.
“Perhaps the simplest solution is the most visible,” reads the tagline on the OTW website, “and the idea is just that,” group founder ElectroPig Von Fökkengrüüven told Toke of the Town.
“I figured the best way to do that was to bring it to the streets of every city, town and village around the world,” the mysterious ElectroPig told us. “And if the plants are seen NOT chasing children down the street, and they are seen to NOT stick needles into people’s arms, maybe a bit of common sense ‘might’ start to filter into even the most willfully ignorant person’s mind.”
