Not one F-ing Penny!

Self-governance and self-regulation are necessary to keep the government from one penny of revenue over the Cannabis prohibition issue. We have been terrorized by the the governement for 26,357 days since the passage of the marijuana stamp act in 1937.

How much $$$ has been wasted by this insane prohibition that was based on lies?

It took 21,586 days to turn the tide in California, prop 215 passes...

How many legal battles? How many good-hearted citizens had to give up their time and efforts - efforts that could have been used toward doing something positive, simply to fight back the insanity of prohibition and keep themselves free? But it happened. California says compassion is the craze! Patients are free from govenment persecution and caregivers are allowed to help sick people!

NOT.

Another 4772 days passes. Caregivers are on trial as drug dealers or have pled out to gang/drug crimes , which increases law enforcement conviction statistics and funding. Billions, if not trillions, spent on all levels of government to fight the Cannabis movement still. And the results? I don't have to tell you.

Lobbying efforts from drug companies, law enforcement and for profit prisons have fought every effort made to end Cannabis prohibition.

Millions of our brothers and sisters are incarcerated for self medicating and/or speaking out about the true benefits of Cannabis. Court ordered therapy, taking your kids away if you speak out or fight the system.
Meanwhile the drug cartels are making additional billions off of the black-market Cannabis trade.

Stop the insanity! Not one F-ing penny!


When did America stop being Of the People, By the People, and For the People?

We are at war. We may not want to be at war, but was is upon us nonetheless.

We will not win by funding the other side! NO to sin taxes. NO to health taxes. NO to any and every way the government tries to get their hands on Cannabis revenue. Let the people stimulate the economy by spending our money our way. We have seen your way and we say NO!

We cannot allow the enemies of Cannabis to have access to one more F-ing penny.

Starve the beast!

The Gateway Drug

After going through reams of research on the drug war and I can now see why the government classifies Cannabis as a "gateway drug". Before you decide to flame me just hear me out.

According to the government cannabis is a class one narcotic. Just like heroin, meth ampheteimne, crack and cocaine. No benefits, dangerous, deadly ...

Yet millions have first hand experience that Cannabis has no negative effects, and tens of millions have seen someone in their social circles use Cannabis without negative effects.

So if Cannabis is a Class 1 drug, but everyone uses it without negative effects (other than legal reprecussions) then maybe heroin is not so bad, and after all it is so cheap and available since the war on drugs has created such a black market enviroment. Or crack, it does not matter that it is funding black ops for the CIA , its everywhere and the government says it is as bad for you as Cannabis. Why not?

So I now see how cannabis is the "gateway drug" as long as it is illegal and misrepresented by police, political, pharmaceutical, tobacco and alcohol interests. Class 1 drug? How much proof do you need to see it has benefits and should not be class 1!

I see it being the "gateway drug" to pour billions of anti terrorism homeland security funds into local municipalities, fill our private for-profit prisons with non violent american citizens stripped of their rights to vote, a city (state, country) of intimidated citizens afraid to stand up for their friends and families.

It is also the gateway to change. How many peoples first experience that the government is lying to them is their experimentation with cannabis. How many people have had their eyes opened to a whole world of possibilities outside of their preconceived notions of reality.

I write this with my eyes wide open. I cannot sit idly by and watch my brothers and sisters rights trampled on. I must do something but I cannot do it alone.

An impassioned plea for help.

As the people of California have spoken, so shall the California government act Aren’t they supposed to represent us, their constituents? We as supporters of cannabis usage (medicinally or recreationally) have been oppressed, lied to and incarcerated for the sole purpose of feeding a union controlled police state and to ensure the profits of privately held prisons. All with the approval of the pharmaceutical industry which certainly does not need a competition for their products that has no lethal side effects and has patenting issues, let alone that it can be produced in your back yard.

It is obvious that the amount of police investigative prowess needed to Google "medical marijuana San Diego" to find dispensaries to attack, is easier than going after real criminal and drug dealers. Not to mention the potential risk to the officers is virtually nil raiding a dispensary. So why do real police work? Why? Because the people of the state of California have spoken and we want compassionate use laws respected. Because the President of the United States and the Attorney General have stated, both verbally and in writing that the intent of the federal government is to respect the decision of the states regarding medical marijuana.

The laws and guidelines are intentionally left vague so the police can operate in this gray area, fill our jails with non violent users of a plant that has been used medicinally, recreationally, and spiritually for over 5000 years.

Do I really expect Bonnie Dumanis and the San Diego police state to listen to me, to us? No. Sadly the power and influence from the corporate powers that be have total control of the political landscape. Regardless of the common sense, the will of the people, the spirit of the compassionate use laws and guidelines, appeals court decisions, statements from the AG or the POTUS, Bonnie or whomever replaces her will continue to propagate the police state. Driven by law enforcement, medical and pharmaceutical lobbyists the incarceration machine continues unabated.

But what makes me sadder is all the apathy from people that know in their hearts and in their heads that what is happening is WRONG! People that are afraid to speak up, let alone be counted.

To them I saw there is still something that can be done. Not everyone is willing or able to put their reputation on the line for what they believe in, but you can support those that do. Find a person in your personal circle that believes in the movement and let them know you support them. People that support the movement are working for industries and companies that can benefit from the movement but are not willing to risk their reputation in the current political climate. Some can show up for protests in surgical masks, representing the faceless MILLIONS of supporters. If you live near a dispensary or collective then contact them and ask about community outreach. Learn about the people running and using these compassion clinics. The movement needs to represent all aspects of the marijuana advocate. I want to bus in the senior citizens that formed a collective in Leisure World.

Where is the ACLU? Where are the patients’ are rights organizations? Where are the families and relatives of those that have been persecuted? Where are the doctors and lawyers that believe in what is right? Where is the local leadership? City and local representatives should realize that the majority of California citizens are against the raids and believe it is contrary to the laws they voted for.

I conclude by asking you to find a way to support our movement, one that you are comfortable with. We are all creative individuals and are far more resourceful than we give ourselves credit.
