Kalispell May Ban Land Use For Marijuana
- Thread starter Payaso
- Start date
If I'm not mistaken, SCOTUS has ruled that zoning laws can't be used to ban one specific type of activity.
I'm really torn on the Cannabis Initiative. I hate these elections where you have to choose between the lesser of two evils. However, if it passes, I think that greed is going to overcome drug war fever when municipalities see that there's money to had in cannabis.

The zoning laws are being used by anti cannabis people in government to inflict paranoia into others. If the federal government enforced monetary guidelines on one state or local government they would have to enforce them on all. You don't win re election that way.
All due respect, but if they "did it like its done" on the east coast, the entire nation would be starved for quality ganja. No offence, but the HUGE demand in this country for herb is satisfied by the fine growing conditions of sunny california. You'd have to blow up every other basement in Long Island to feed the demand in NYC. Hundreds and Hundreds of pounds find their way to the cities of the east every week. I lived the first 2.5 decades of my life in the east... I will always be a new yorker... but the truth is the truth.
But don't worry, if the Cali grow scene is slowed down, there will always be plenty of cartel-grown mountain schwagg (not the same as what u might call schwag on the east coast) to take its place. The best thing about it is that the schwagg will cost the same as the AAA outdoor (that you were probably sold as indoor) did last year. (hope my east coast brethren can see the sarcasm dripping from this paragraph.)

The most important thing to note here is what Payaso calls a "conspiracy"... I don't like to use that word because about 50% of all the humans in this country will stop listening to you and half of the remaining folks who will continue to listen will ask you if you want to borrow their tinfoil hat while you tell them your great truth.
But the reality is that there is an organized group coordinating attacks against MMJ. They follow a playbook. They are good at things like this. The right wing is way better at playing this game than progressives have ever been. Especially MMJ progressives.
The same kind of attack is being carried out across the state... The Lake County ordinance is explicitly modeled after the Shasta ordinance that was successfully enacted.
An equally coordinated defense is required.
In a video on the ICM frontpage, Bill Maher cuts right to it when he commented that ganja smokers are a tolerant bunch... and while its a great quality, I'd like to see a lot less tolerance and complacency in this community when it comes to the defense of our civil and patients' rights. Myself included. I have not been to a single demo or attended a single BOS meeting... I am officially changing that right now and starting with the Lake County BOS meeting on Tuesday.

Looking for a reason as to why all of this confusion and b.s. is possible? (You'd think there would be SOME sanity in the U.S.)

Poorly written article. I'm starting to notice this as a trend. If this movement wants some credibility then they should really try finding someone with a little writing skill.
At no point in the article does the author tell us what state Kalispell is in. They mention Montana. They reference "the state's" but not once does it establish WHERE.
That's one of those big things, who, what, where, when, why, and how. If a grown person cannot fulfill those answers in an article then they fail. Thank you, please come again.
The fed says illegal, the state says legal, the county says legal, the city says illegal, and the person says legal. It's completely fucked up. I say that if you're against pot then move to a place that is against pot, and stop trying to ruin everyone elses good times.
