Starbucks funding anti-marijuana lobbying.

As of Today, Starbucks can buy and install Government Representatives who can make Laws according to their financial backers wishes.

I'm in..
no more Starbucks for me, also telling friends and family

Here is an idea, everyone grab a flier, drive through the local Starbucks and when it's time to pay for your order, hand the employee the flier and then drive off without completing your order.

Order a dozen espressos to go, then leave them along with your flier !

If only they used cannabis they would know that stoners NEED coffee more than anyone just to stay awake...

As it so happens, I have had frequent occasion over the years to deal with Starbucks Corporation, on both a business level and with in-house legal counsel.

If you are wondering whether or not Starbuck executives are well acquainted with Mr. Kush and Ms. Haze? I assure you sir, the Starbucks execs I have dealt with are on a first name basis with both.

I'm sure this is some local manager who donated an urn or three of coffee to some cops organization without bothering to see what their agenda was. Starbucks may be clever, greedy and... greedy (a characteristic that important is worth repeating).

But there are a lot of growers to whom that same assessment could be fairly applied, too.

What Starbucks is not is stupid, or right-wing in their politics. So...I'm guessing this one is all some great misunderstanding that is about to be ....re-understood.

I would hate to be the fellow that made that donation, in Starbucks name, right about now

make noise in california and maybe starbuck will issue a declaration about they are not against mmj , saving the face will be the # 1 priority for them . they will enter the damage management plan .

they will calculate the impact of negative publicity , hint the last poll but you have to put pressure on them

Another K.O. from Keith Olbermann! Sometimes I wanna kiss that guy! Can we get Olbermann on to this Starbucks boycott?

In any case, even if it was just one employee's decision, a Starbucks boycott by stoners will show our POWER to Corporate America. We should do it anyway just to teach them a lesson.

Don't fuck with cannabis users!

Starbucks ... Check... Off the List! Pete's it is.

Starbucks ... Check... Off the List! Pete's it is.

You would think that someone in upper management would have seen this move for what is a battle over jobs. Supporters of medical marijuana want to create new legitimate, state-licensed businesses with hundred of new taxpaying employees. CDIA wants to ban these new businesses so that they can continue spending taxpayer money to arrest and prosecute people involved with medical marijuana.

According to reports out of Colorado by SAFER, Starbucks is funding anti-marijuana lobbying in Colorado and elsewhere. Starbucks is being joined by Glock handguns and the alcohol industry.

Join SAFER and WhyProhibition.ca in boycotting Starbucks until they stop funding anti-marijuana lobbying!

WOW never knew this! I boycott starbucks because I heard they contribute to the IDF (Israel)

Their logo is very popular like any other Zionist product, such as Coca Cola, Nestle, Marks & Spencer, MacDonalds, Burger King…

As we know, the media is always there for them, but Strabucks has a very special story. The logo represents "Queen Esther" who saved the Jews from oppression as they claim, and that's very normal because it's owned by the famous business man Howard Schultz, one of the Jewish lobby members in the U.S, and that lobby is managing Starbucks around the world, very weird, isn't it??
Howard Schultz is an active Zionist, extremely sectarian for the Israeli army. He is supporting them with hundred of millions yearly from Starbucks' income, and he's one of the major sponsors of their weaponry, and an important fund raiser. He was honored by Israel with "The Israel 50th Anniversary Tribute Award" for his services to the Jewish state. His work as a propagandist for Israel has been warmly praised by the Israeli Foreign Ministry as being vital to Israel’s long-term public relations' success.

So does Chapters!
Both provide "scholarships" for foreign (Not even necessarily Jewish) soldiers to work for the IDF manning checkpoints, etc.
The main reason is that Israeli youth are realizing how disgusting the apartheid is, and even with compulsory military service the IDF is unable to fully man all of the illegal checkpoints in the West Bank.
The other reason is that the owners of Chapters and Starbucks are racist bigots who would probably blow their loads if they could re-open Auschwitz and send every Palestinian in there.
They've already turned Gaza into an open-air prison.

Fuck Starbucks, and fuck Chapters.

Well.... I USED to buy Starbucks any time I could.... Not anymore.

I USED to be a lifelong Glock fan and advocate..... but that's completely off the table now.


I never was a drinker and the alcohol industry can really kiss my butt anyway.



Thanks for bringing this to my attention.


Stay Safe!
