im "from MI"
nope im from NOLA but after Katrina i moved quite a bit. not that its any of your business but ive been maintaining a residence (and no less than two professional licenses as well as a small business where i employ 12 individuals) in the state for many years. what have you contributed besides supporting prohibition and a few $400.00 ounces of outdoor crap?
hmmmmm
which one do you believe?
the first one is true BTW
dont believe me?
call 911 on your grow tell them "i know someone growing pot without a card"
let us know how this harvest goes for you after that.
Just stopped by and saw your response.
Pardon me but I thought you had said earlier that you were currently in MI but you were coming back here and you can vote here and such. my bad if I got that wrong.
Man you need to maybe chill a little. I wasnt here to battle you but you continue to say dumb things. You notice nobody is backing you up on the state card requirement that you are staking your rep on? Its because you are wrong on that aspect as Ive been telling you. Why do I bother? Because you are spreading bullshit plain and simple.

.if you don't have a medical reason for herb in cali than i wish my life was as charmed and perfect as yours... as far as industries regulating herb goes who would u rather have in charge of your herb? your dr? or your local county councilor?
Why should someone have to go see a DR to be able to grow or smoke pot? No really why? Seems pretty stupid to me, unless your injured or have a medical need. The fact is most people that smoke pot do not have AIDS or a Spinal injury or say cancer. That is what MOST people think when they hear of 'medical' pot. Most people donpt grow it because its against the law. 19 changes that.
being medical does not make one tax free... i don't make a living growing herb and i'm voting no on 19 because it gives too much control to local county governments allowing them to take "any other appropriate controls necessary for protection of the public health and welfare." ever heard of a tax stamp? ever hear of a dry county? and while that 5x5 grow and smoking at home sounds nice it specifically forbids "smoking cannabis in any space while minors are present." hope you don't have kids.
First you say your voting no because your against the "regulation" part. That sucks that you feel so strongly about that part that you would deny millions of people the right to grow and smoke without the fear of arrest. You said, not me.
Also, your complaint about smoking around minors is mute. 19 simply doesn't cover blowing smoke in your kids face. There is no added penalty...so as far as the law goes...it stays the same. Try smoking in front of your kids now and see what happens.
what would you rather see... herb legal across the world as medicine and treated like chinese ginseng or herb legal across the world treated like tobacco, alcohol, and other "recreational" drugs?
I would rather see pot sold like ginseng, you bet. The guys that make the ginseng...they pay taxes. They guys selling you the ginseng...they are paying taxes. See everyone pays. You can sit around and wait for another chance but I'm not. If you think for one second that if a restrictive prop fails(19) a less restrictive prop would? Really? Most people do not smoke pot. We need their vote to make any from of legalization possible...they might for for something that restricts the age and amount you can carry...but the part that makes most of them vote yes is the fact that it's a 14 billion dollar industry and they know pot doesn't hurt anyone, so why not tax it and regulate it...with regulation it helps keeps it away from kids. Just look at booze. Anyway...You bring up some points...I just think a differently. maybe you can get past your issues with government and let the little guy have some breathing room...like removing that felony for growing a plant.
This thread is 158 pages long. If you expect me to sit around all day and read the whole thing just so I can make a post then you have smoked yourself silly. I've got stuff to do. All I did was post an article, lose the attitude and preachiness. Have a good day.
public ignorance is a choice.
You have chosen poorly.
Now everyone knows.

I realize my position is selfish and driven by my need to survive and the fear of the unknown environment for my commodity should the bill pass. That and the reality that I havent found a job in over 2 years and have applied to 100s of job listings in that time. But hey it could happen, .
I have had this place for nearly 20 years and had to scrape and suffer for years after a divorce to hold onto it. I certainly dont want to lose it because I will never be able to get a place like this again barring a lotto win. It would just be allot easier if the economy would recover and I could find work. I never wanted to survive on cannabis but thats what it is, and I am legion. Many people are straddling the line and cannabis is the thing keeping them in a home.
peace bro
Wow, another non-answer, laden with sarcasm and a hefty load of superiority. If it were somewhat witty then I might feel offended.
Seriously though, my other posts serve as a good response to this. All I did was post an article in a respectful manner.
well you dont NEED the state/county med id, but it sure makes it a hell of a lot easier if you get pulled over or harrassed by some beat cop....
ive actually had my original recc in my car and ive had cops say shit like it looks fake and looks like i forged it.... its a load of shit, but cops are assholes, what can i say???
Fugin A. And you know thats been a topic here of course... In my world, it seems like a big line to cross when you go from just between you and the doc to revealing it to the state. You do that and you ARE on a list. Thats whats kept me from doing it, plus Im a small time guy so I stay below the radar as a strict rule.
I hear that down south the card may be more desirable. Are there not some clubs in LA that want a state card? None seem to care about it in the Sac area.
peace
duplicity..
everyone here knows a rec alone will not protect you from arrest
hell even you ADMITTED it is true.
why do you continue this point after you admited that a rec will not protect you from arrest?
i been around a looooooong time... those who need to have seen my gear have...i have nothing to prove by showing off my activities.
i used to show off on og then RC sold us out (i know this is taboo) and 3 weeks later i was in jail. i dont post my gear on the net anymore.
i dont knock anyone who does but i dont.
this is not about "who's is bigger" im waaaaaaay beyond that in my life.
this is about personal freedom and taking a stand.
so ill be voting against prohibition and ill be voting the opposite of every lea in the state.
how 'bout you?
i can respect this honesty
a whole lot more than your bullshit
just tell me you oppose my right to grow for financial reasons..
i may think your a greedy prohibitionist but at least not a liar to boot
All I did was share an article. I don't think that you understand that, maybe it's not sinking in. It's beyond obvious that you're just trying to bait me into some sort of argument, and I'm sure I'll be "eviscerated" unless I fully agree with you. You and others have been jumping down my throat since I began posting in this thread, literally because I hadn't read the entire thing prior to posting.
In summation: my asshole meter is going off the charts with you. Even if I came into this thread looking to debate, you guys are obviously not willing to discuss things calmly. Not worth my time. Later kiddies.
*Insert stupid assumption or halfwitted insult about lloyd_christmas*
Im no liar, I never said anything different than what you went and dug up from the other thread. You asked me about me selling outdoor weed and started bragging about yourself so I set you strait.
You realize your guts are on the deck already right? Why go on? Thats gotta hurt... not to mention your conversation with L Christmas... Your getting all diced up.. cut it out for cripes sake. we are all actually supposed to be adults here. hehehe
I never even spoke of how I was voting in this thread. You got a problem with an entire community , mostly barely surviving, by growing an excess in their legal grows, in an environment where they have all been laid off and are losing their homes right and left?
How dare you fuking judge me? Well, I guess thats all of my time you will get.
LOL
yes
this article was debunked about 30-40 pages ago.
Especially the flat out fallacy of #'s 17 & 18.
No offense but saying you read the first 12 or so pages of a 158 page thread and then jumping in is not a good way to try present a case in any debate.
if you are for or against this bill just cutting a pasting someone else s article is not how to make your case.
What are your words and thoughts?
If they are valid we shall discuss.
If you are just trolling and posting you will be eviscerated by this group.

give me a question and I'll give you an answer.
You have not responded to my original post of your cut and paste.
Explain your side pal.
if you can.
Use your own words.
