I am a California Medicinal user.
IN California, weed goes for about 2200-3200 a pound (up north anyway). By growing two pounds of weed (which can be very expensive), I can make enough money to pay for my expenses, and keep myself in medicine to keep me healthy.
It is this economic model and ONLY this economic model that has led to the FANTASTIC strains in Northern California that you can buy in any club for 15-25 bucks a gram.
If it is legalized, say goodbye to the independent grower-for-profit, goodbye to the Hydro shop on the corner, and hello to shitty pipes and shitty weed everywhere for dirt cheap.
Let's keep this a Grey area in California, shall we?
People have their careers invested here. Unorthodox careers, yes...but so many are these days.
I'm voting "NO" in NOvember.
What do you all think?
Yeah, I have to completely & respectfully disagree completely. I understand & empathize with you folks & how awful it must be to try & off load all that kind.
But here's the deal.
The other 49 states (by and large), treat people just like you, like an absolute fukn criminal my friend. Have you ever lived elsewhere in the US where herbs weren't essentially de facto legal??? Straight up, fukn violent criminals. So many stories I could break off to you bout myself & my close bros, that have been arrested (mostly for simple possession). Locked up with rapist, wife beaters, & all kind of lovely individuals simply to wait for our court appearance.
Dude, in my state, you get pulled over, copsucker finds a seed. You go directly to jail & must post bail. Somehow with my incredible luck, my past exp. have always landed me at the magistrates office, where the cunt usually just left about an hour before I get there. Meaning I have to wait overnite in that shithole with all those unsavory folks I described. Oh yeah, and here's the even better part.While all this is happening. The cok sukn cops that got you in all this mess & book ya (and try to question ya), result to essentially scare & egg us on by telling us that "one of the big nasty brothas would love to get a hold of my ass". What kind of fukn society is this supposed to be, when the people who are supposed to protect us, threaten us with forced sodomy from some nasty street dweller if we do not "comply" with them.
Ok, and "complying" with them, means they expect you to reveal any & every drug connection you ever had. Which obv. ya can't do, or you are used goods & belong to be a child prostitute in Thailand in your next life.
My intention is not to sound dramatic. But dude, this is how it is in over half of our country.
Therefore, you guys (Cali) are our only hope of creating a precedent & a social experiment essentially, so that the nation can see that the fukn sky will not fall if herbs are re-legalized. I'm sorry to hear about your financial woes. But dude, it could be a lot worse. Just thank your lucky stars you are in Cali, and have the freedom you do.
I have to hide in the GD closet & act like some kinda junkie tryin to get my shiz on, simply to partake on the weekends & enjoy time with my family.
ANd I know that there are millions like me, that need this to happen, so that we "come out of this bullshiz closet".
So take one for the team partner. Up til '96, ya'll were screwed too (although ya never had to spend the night in jail over a fukin seed).
Anyway, only way our nation & subsequently the world will ever know & utilize the true potential of this god send of a flower.
My humble 2 cents, but man this is the step that MUST be taken. Oregon & Wash. state (try as they may) just plain will not get it on ballot this year.
Ya'll are our only hope bro.
Hope ya re-consider, as with that last poll, its gonna be close.
Think about it.....
thanks in advance
