It's sad that out of 3.5 million estimated marijuana consumers, only 1,500 contributed to the Money Bomb.

Please step up to the plate and make a difference. It's not too late.

I did, though I have barely any money to give until payday, and I intend to donate more every time I am able.

Prop 19 is not perfect, but it could turn out to be the biggest and most important step in the right direction since the start of prohibition, and truly deserves our support.

Total raised $61,205.

Congrats to the Yes on 19 people.

God bless us, the debate is raging from coast to coast about Prop 19. Associated Press named it as the most important ballot in 2010. Really? The Colorado Initiative to grant a fetus personhood and extend the protection of law to this newly codified person isn't more important that cannabis re-legalization? For christ sake the Colorado initiative could lead to the reversal of Roe v Wade theoretically. I think Roe v Wade is extremely important to us potheads. It was a major change in advancing the right of self ownership. I swear that I recall that Colorado was one of the States that had legal abortion before the Roe decision was put into force.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tonto Prop 19 is a statewide ballot initiative. It is primarily promoted by the good people from Oaksterdam.

In actual reality, Prop 19 has major ramifications from coast to coast and it passing just might be the straw that breaks the prohibitionists back, leading to the end of the war on (some) drugs.. If it fails, the Calvina Fays and Skip Millers will make sure no one forgets that even Californians are against re-legalization. Why wouldn't they? They like to bring up Alaska's 1990 re-criminalization of cannabis by ballot initiative, and don't even seem to be aware that the Alaskan Court of Appeals tossed the 1990 ballot referendum on the same reasoning as the 1975 Alaskan Supreme Court. The Alaskan Supreme Court declined to look at the decision by the Court of Appeals.

Frankly I don't care who reaps monetary profits from its passage. Somebody's going to do so when re-legalization happens. One thing that is certain is that the day after the vote Richard Lee will wake up a wealthy man, and will go to work and become even wealthier. Win lose or draw it just won't change that part of reality. Worrying about Richard Lee's pocket book is the equivalent of the enemies of medical cannabis re-legalization worrying that people that aren't sick obtain cannabis at dispensaries and therefore want to shut them down. It is cut and dried that there are 10s of thousands of California truly get relief from medical cannabis. I don't care if there are hundreds of thousand of malingering liars getting their SB420 cards so they can avoid arrest. Horse shit. It is way more important for a large number of desperately ill people to get relief than by forcing the malingerers to buy their cannabis in the black market. Somehow they miss that the malingering people that are complained about would be getting high even if Prop 215 had never existed. Oh my, they might have to travel as far as Golden Gate park to find their cannabis. Enemies of medical cannabis send out propaganda that only 2% of the Californians claiming the protection of Prop 215/SB420 are actually ill and receiving true relief and comfort from medical Let's just for a moment say arguendo that 2% is a true number. The most recent numbers I saw estimate that there is approximately 400,000 Prop 215 patients. 2% of 400,000 is 8,000. The drug warriors themselves will certify them as patients in need and their criteria is basically "predicted to die soon" "Insufferable pain" simply the sickest of the sick that have also tried every other medical therapy before resorting to cannabis. 8,000 of them. These people are willing to send quadriplegics and advanced cancer patients to the black market because they can't stand the idea of the 392,000 malingerers buying pot in a retail outlet. Many of the 8,000 will not have the wherewithal to even go to the black market. Might be too physically ill, may just have been a person that wasn't ever involved in cannabis or the black market before getting sick and has no clue where to find it. The malingering already know where to find black market cannabis and will still be getting high.

Likewise it's way more important to get the absurd idiocy of prohibition on the way to the trashbin of history than worrying about how some will profit. Get over it people, re-legalization will lead to creating a multi-billion dollar market and there are going to be corporations and people profiting. It isn't something that can be avoided, and frankly it's very desirable IMO, because it's what's going to motivate people into letting the law change. How it could be, should be, or would be is irrelevant. We don't even have 10% of the voters that are active cannabis consumers. There are perhaps another 10% who would vote in favor of freedom pretty much regardless of which freedom was being enhanced. Many of the latter are active cannabis consumers so we're not even up to 15% of the voters. We just don't have a choice except to leverage what assets we do have in order for the law to change. Frankly most people don't give a shit whether cannabis is illegal or not.

Money talks, and bull shit walks. The game is heavily influenced to almost fully being controlled by special interest group. If we want change we've got to become a special interest group and wave a lot of money around.

Some people complain because it lets the counties and cities make the rules, and that San Francisco and Alameda counties are the only ones who will sign on. This is likely a very possible scenario. Now let's just for the sake of argument pretend that Prop 19 applies to every county and city in the state, and it passes. With that scenario I would predict that only San Francisco and Alameda counties will implement the law without a fight. Can anyone actually believe that the assholes in public office in San Diego won't refuse to implement it because it's against Federal law? Shit they took printing up ID cards to the Supreme Court and they're going to roll over and implement Prop 19 in a timely manner? Hogwash. Either scenario the results are the same for the next few years. But the provision allowing counties to 'opt out' will steer a considerable number of votes into the yes column. "Well I don't really care if the degenerates in San Fransisco county allow their losers to get high as long as we don't have to do it here in (fill in the blank). Try forcing it into their lives and the mental firewall goes up, and their vote turns into a no. Prop 19 really does a pretty good job of at least identifying the idiocy that the know nothing propagandists will use to get people to vote against Prop 19.

Here's a question I have. I've heard people that argue say that people who are 18, 19, 0r 20, will vote no because they're 'excluded' and there will be a 'better' initiative on the 2012 ballot." That would be when the 18,19, and 20 years old today will be 20, 21, and 22. Yeah, real smart for those 20 years old to vote themselves an extra year of exemption.

George Jefferson said that the only reason the co-op board let him move into his deluxe apartment in the sky was because he had enough green to cover his black. Fictional, but so true.

 

[someotherguy]

lets not forget how few 18, 19 and 20yr olds will be
able to tear themselves away from their xbox's long
enough to actually go out and vote at all.

frankly, i'd like to think that the ones who do get out
and vote will be smart enough to do the right thing.

peace, and stay safe, it ain't legal yet, SOG

its kinda like BP asking for donations to help clean up the spill......

 

[someotherguy]

its kinda like BP asking for donations to help clean up the spill......

i'm a disabled veteran who lives more than 3000 miles
from Cali and i'll be sending in a $20.00 donation come
the first, i only wish i could send more.

and expecting Richard Lee to do all the heavy lifting is
a little short sighted in my opinion, why shouldn't we,
as people who want to make SURE this passes, be as
willing to do our part.

and btw, Richard Lee will be the first person the DEA
will come after if this passes, he has put up a lot of
cash and he has put himself way out front in a very
public way risking not just his money but his freedom
as well.

you telling me you can't afford $20.00 for the cause?

frankly, i'd like to see everyone who frequents these
forums contribute $4.20 as the OP suggested, whether
they live in California or not! ...so this money bomb
would turn into a media bomb in favor of Prop 19,
blanketing the state with the truth, something the
general public hasn't heard much of in decades!

peace, and stay safe, it ain't legal yet, SOG

hey, but you being a disabled veteran and im sure on a tight budget, and sounds like another country, thats pretty bad ass of you to donate to a cause that you truly believe in......

 

[kmk420kali]

how would 50,000 help?

That's a fair question--
I don't know know for sure--
I thought this was just 1 source going to a whole-- But now I am unsure exactly what it is-- I will have to check it out, because the link in the OP didn't give much info--

 

[Big Country]

Proposition 19 is a very important step in the right direction
YES on Prop 19
I dont live in California but this can be a model for other States with extreme cannabis laws
