Weed Wars: New show on Discovery

O

OrganicOzarks

I know a lot of people on here hate HarborSide. You are also probably the same ones in a Med State. For us that are not in a Med State this show will be great. We need the average public to see what it is like. They are not selling blunts to kids that then smoke them on the school bus. From a business stand point Harbor Side looks good. Their size is impressive, and it is a clean facility. All things that look good to the public. This is the test show, and then I will assume that they will have a full season on in April or May. As far as getting raided goes, that would be awesome for everyone. This show is already in the can so there is no going back. Once the public feels no threat form HarborSide they are going to side with them, and not the Fed's. The Fed's would be shooting themselves in the foot if they raided HarborSide. It would only advance the cause that much more. This show is a win-win no matter what happens after it airs. I expect History, A&E, and or Nat Geo to have a show soon. I did see where Nat Geo was looking for peeps in Colorado to do a 7 hour series on. I bet that comes out in early Spring. People we are at the tipping point. It will all be down hill from here.

Now if we can get Cali to impose some rules like Colorado then all would be good.

Please stop shipping tons of outdoor Cali herb across the Country. That is the reason the Fed's are up your asses. I get tired of hearing "I have Cali Medical Marijuana." I always reply "if it is so good then why did they ship it out of State?" :)

exactly. i tried saying this at the beginning of the thread.

win win.

it takes pure ballsack to do this for the betterment of the cause.

anyone against this is as silly as fools who argue that legalization would kill our profit margin.

all the bullshit that don duncan is obviously doing is WRONG.

doesnt mean that this show is evil or counterproductive to the end goal.

TOTAL LEGALIZATION FOR ALL CITIZENS OF THE WORLD.

Exactly. Legalize first, then educate the consumer on what quality is.

HHC definately has lobbying power, especially that they are teamed up with the ASA and don duncan, they are trying to be THE ones to run shit when it goes legal in california. i keep hearing all these rumors about montasanto, etc but i never see any definitive proof of their real estate purchases and plans...
 
Great thread....good information

Great thread....good information

Have to take my hat off to "BiG"......very good information....all collectives in my town are shut down....had about 13 less than 2 years ago...down to 10 last year...and the last one was shut down a few months ago.....reason....???? threats from the FEDS.....but the city and county....have no zoning for them...and that is how they keep them out....they just keep fining them every day for non-compliance....and it adds up fast.....I wish I know how to .....solve that problem.....because it starts there.



For the many who don't see or don't know whats really going on....

Failure to achieve zoning for collectives is vital to understanding the next steps. This failure is a direct result of the California Cartel based out of Oakland, CA., a lobby group calling themselves “Americans For Safe Access”. This group allegedly started with organized crime money from Amsterdam, which founder Don Duncan brought with him to set up Berkely Patient Group and Harborside in Oakland, a city known for gangs and drugs, where $politicians$ were easily had. To dominate what they saw as a lucrative commercial pot market, first calling themselves the Berkley Patient Alliance, they lobbied to have themselves a “restrictive permit” which would forbid other collectives and eliminate competition. This worked and just those two stores bring in well over $70 million per year.
Don Duncan then moved to LA and set up several stores, one of which is LAPCG. Sources say this store brings in about $30,000 per day. Duncan was quickly able to secure a local politician in his back pocket and carve out a “restrictive permit” to keep other stores out of West Hollywood. Duncan also operated under CannBe Corporation and Harborside Management Associates with a new blueprint strategy and began his quest to get the federal government to allow him sole and his investors sole distribution rights.


Just some of the multimillion dollar marijuana monopoly of Don Duncan
Americans for Safe Access is a front lobby, not a social movement. They hold groups and operate like a cult, insisting that members never question, but only follow orders. Follow leaders around with signs, stand behind them, as the leaders go in the back room and make deals for themselves and their wealthy investors. ASA is not about medical marijuana. Not about medical patients. Not about ending arrests and prosecutions. ASA is about greed. ASA leaders and followers will do anything to secure their right to sell marijuana, including threaten murder, commit assault, set people up, conduct smear campaigns, disrupt meetings and threaten people in groups working on zoning or rights for all medical marijuana users. There are no limits. ASA is a front for organized crime, pure and simple. It is important for us all to watch Don Duncans stores to see if they are closed, as the government is threatening to do to the average citizen. These stores are Berkely Patient Group, Harborside, LAPCG, Mother Earth Cooperative – El Cajon,


Mother Earth Cooperative expects to rake in 50 million per year if they can close all stores in San Diego
Desert Organic Solutions store in Palm Springs, Santa Barbara and Venice Beach. Combined these stores bring in an estimate $150 million per year. So why are you being told you are violating the law while the largest marijuana dealer in the state of California remains untouched?

ASA – Don Duncan has a blueprint which has worked successfully in numerous cities. This is a blueprint where he creates chaos, undermines all attempts at zoning, and then walks in and offers himself as the solution to the chaos he helped create in order to secure himself an exclusive liscence to sell marijuana in that city. This has been confirmed repeatedly and has spread to other states where they use $$$ mega money to lobby politicians looking at medical marijuana to reject allowing patients to grow for themselves and instead encourage governments to allow 4 stores for which they negotiate at least two of those stores for themselves securing their marijuana millions.

This is a simple version of that blueprint:
Encourage massive stores to open at once by sponsoring and/or heavily promoting a school which will operate with unethical compliance with the ASA agenda. In San Diego this is “Legal Cannabis Institute”.

Due Diligence will show that Nicole Scott and her common law husband were recently involved in a federal fraud case for defrauding investors of approx $4 million dollars – google “James E Franklin Federal Case” for more info

Find shady lawyers who will lead seminars or classes for $99.00 where the lawyer (in San Diego this is Kim Simms and Lance Rogers) will instruct that you too can enter the “cannabusiness” for several thousand more dollars you can legally sell marijuan out of a retail storefront. Kim Simms had just graduated law school with no real legal experience yet was violating attorney ethics for soliciting clients and advising them to break the law by setting up retail storefronts.


Lance Rogers was working for Davidovich and the ASA restrictive permitting plan the entire time he was taking in thousands by advising that retail stores were legal, all the while knowing full well that they would be shut down once his deal with Davidovch ASA “Mother Earth” was finalized. (If you used either of these attorneys, as well as Jeff Lake, Jessica McElfresh, James Warner, or any other attorney whose primary business seems to be taking several thousand dollars to assure you that you can operate a retail storefront you should seek new council immediately and if you get arrested do not use the attorney who set you up in this store or anybody they recommend. These attorneys are legally responsible for advising you to do this. They cannot and will not help you and protect their own interest at the same time. One of them is under enditement already and the others are being investigated. Sending that attorney a demand letter for a full refund is a legitimate reaction, and a bar complaint is a simple two page paper which should be done by each and every storefront which is being shut down after operating at the advice of one of these attorneys. Google “California Bar Complaint’.


Start up a magazine appearing to represent marijuana interest but really presenting disinformation creating chaos and promoting ignorance as to the reality of the ASA agenda. In San Diego this is ASA propaganda magazine NUG MAG which was started by Dion Markgraaf, San Diego ASA founder, and controlled by Eugene Davidovich, current San Diego ASA leader. This magazine will promote the school and attorneys that are knowingly part of this ASA blueprint


When the city has approximately 100 stores, Don Duncan and ASA lobbyists will approach city officials that giving them an exclusive right to sell marijuana is the answer to what they will call “the proliferation of dispensaries”, which they created to setup the very scenario, which uniformed city officials who are not aware that this is an organized crime syndicate will sometime fall for
In San Diego this is Mother Earth Cooperative which Eugene Davidovich and Don Duncan set up and found front man Bob Reidell who is a lifelong friend of ASA leader Dion Markgraaf


ASA store Mother Earth was the plan all along
The shutdowns begin. – This is where we currently are at this point
Once the shutdowns start, ASA group will convince it’s most loyal followers that “safe access” means they help locate collectives and groups, even those actually working as cultivation groups to eliminate them. Anybody perceived as “competition” will be set up or eliminated.
Even if you do not live in SanDiego it is important that you fully understand this blueprint because San Diego activist were warned prior to the start, and as they worked on achieving zoning that would allow collective groups to operate under state law, they were no match for the organized crime and violence, threats and harassment set up by Don Duncans San Diego ASA. Americans for Safe Access is nothing more than an organized crime cartel, using short haircuts and ties to present the appearance to government that they are legitimate, all the while threatening murder and mayhem outside the city and county offices.

As a few have said before, its all about how the will edit the show.

There are many angles they could explore, and none of us know which way they will go.

Any of you have seen that 'Gold Rush' show, they claim its #1 on fridays? This family barely mines any gold, and they are pretty much terrible at everything. Their new promos have the old man saying 'i dont think we're gonna get ANY gold'.

Their #1 show is about gold miners who dont mine gold...

Its all about editing.

Cali cut schwag is the new beaster... U cant even beg people to buy that shit in OR 500$ a LB!! That's why it goes East...!! I guess it's better than brick mexi..!!
 
I was a little surprised to see the add for this show. I know they started all of this when state laws seemed to be a level of protection, but I figured they put the kabosh on it when they started with the raids again. If this show is done right it could be huge for the movement. If the average Joe empathizes with Harborside, then it will be hard for the American people to not see the inevitable bust as a wasteful and unnecessary move by the feds, which is great for us. If there is no bust, then it adds a level of sterility/normalcy to legal MJ trade and that will be good for the legalization movement too. This is all upside from where I'm sitting unless Harborside comes off looking like a bunch of asshats or crooks, but I'm guessing the shows producers are for the movement and won't make them look that way.

Your greedy ass is the reason why the Fed's are fucking with your State. Your greed completely undermines what we are trying to achieve. At least if you are with the Hells Angels, one of the Mexican Cartels, or a Vietnamese gang then i would understand. :)

I can not believe that you are proud of what you are doing. It makes me sick.
