Well… now that Nestle, Kraft, Hostess and Frito-Lay can indiscriminately spend to influence the outcome of elections – who thinks this isn’t going to pass in the very near future?

yeah, that part sucks though.

If weed passes, I’m-a be pretty pissed on behalf of gay people. CALIFORNIA IS SUPPOSED TO BE PROGRESSIVE ON BEHALF OF THOSE WHO CAN’T BECAUSE WE’RE TRAPPED IN THE CONSERVATIVE HELLHOLE THAT IS OKLAHOMA.
Ahem.

Do you think those making the $$$ off it’s illegal status will “politically invest” any of their copious profits to keep their monopoly safe??
January 29, 2010 at 1:08 pm
I hope that they do, the only way this movement will really get going and come out from under the shadow is if those directly invested will stand and be counted. and regardless of taking a stand, as long as cannabis is illegal and unregulated there is no protection for anyone with a related business. this means that raids of property and assets will continue, fines can be levied, prison time can be sought. and for what? an organic based business which has no attributable deaths? this madness has got to stop.

additionally, I want to point out that there is not a huge number of people currently making bank with cannabis. sure, the profit margin is attractive for producing, but growers need time, resources and PRIVACY to turn out a crop big enough to bring in $$$$ and that’s much easier said than done. then it gets sold at a wholesale price to a dispensary, who will then flip it again at retail prices. think the retail end of the game is the place to be? think again – depending on who/when you ask, all but about 100 of CA dispensaries are currently illegal and therefore open to being raided, shut down and assets seized at any moment.

I clicked, but you do, indeed, have to live in Cali. Kadinsky, is there a solid petition for those of us living outside CA that you would recommend?

PS: I realize it’s unlikely to be a ballot initiative elsewhere, but I mean in general…

Get your church on it! (You don’t happen to be Unitarian/similar, do you? They tend to be sort of cool with things most religious types tut-tut about.) Worked for LDS/Prop 8!

Medical cannabis is in fact quite a beneficial remedy for a good deal of folks, whatever a few people think. I know family and friends that have been aided with medical marihauna.
