Sorry had to tend to my family lastnight. Bob I'm not going to sling mud at you. I can tell that you are involved within the gov. I would like to figure out at what level. I to am a gov employee. I can tell ou trying to change it from the inside gets you laughed at. There is only one way to get our rights back. It's citizens movements. I like to compare this mj movement to the civil rights movement, women's rights, and the end of slavery. Those were not won from within. It has to come from the people. Trust me I understand we are not that bad off that we need a gun fight, which we would never win. The change is going to be slow. We need to be on the same page on a united front at least on this side of the fight. The reason we have barely gotten anywhere is because even though we all agree cannabis reform has happen. We look like spoiled children screaming I want my bottle. Wtf we need to stand together not fight amongst ourselves. If every cannabis supporter would admit it this would be over.
I did offer some solutions the best one is help.repealtoday.org.
I love this plant and all its uses. I feel if we can get over the hysteria that babies will die if we utilize this plant in all its uses. We could fix the whole state.
I agree wholeheartedly. Except, I'm not with any group, or the Government. Just a guy that had an executive position in a large retail Company, (Furniture), then became Ill, lost everything i had, and fought back to a comfortable (not rich) lifestyle. My source of income is disability payments, and another 400 a month from a business I sold. I support Myself and 2 older kids on that income.
The difference, is that though I agree with what you said in the most part, I disagree that change comes thru protest. Protest certainly has its place..but change happens when new laws are written...and then those laws are amended, until they work.
In Michigan, though some protesting is still in order, we have reached the point where we have an infant medical law....I'm simply suggesting that the best way to improve it at this point, IS from inside the system.
Look at the title of this thread....vote NO
Look at my response...don't work on vote "no", work on shaping the wording of the bills.
Which argument had the best result at the end of the day, in regards to these bills?
