Hey pedro, just so's you know... I got it straight from the gorilla's mouth, Michigan accepts other states medical recommends. He tells me of dab bars where you can rent a booth and set up shop for the evening. Bring your cart full of clones, seeds, scale, flowers, and daba daba dos and sellout in one night. Another good thing about michigan is, I would be on the front lines when the snackbars balls begin to swell and shit breaks off.
Silly you scallywag! lol. He did say if we could get there, he'd give us vendor tickets for the cup. He said the after parties are completely over the top. When the cup is on, I guess it is really hot and muggy. I'm game! I can't wait for us all to be free, pedro! Here's the day prohibition ended. One day brother one day, we'll all be raising our joints!
my ladies shop does that with the dab bar rentals in her shop here in Bako! But Michigan sounds fantastic!

California A May PPIC poll had support for legalization at 54%, and Californians have a variety of initiatives to choose from. At leastsix legalization initiatives have already been cleared for signature-gathering by state officials, but everybody is still waiting for the other shoe to drop. That would be the much anticipated initiative from the Coalition for Cannabis Policy Reform, which represents many of the major players in the state, as well as deep-pocketed outside players from all the major drug reform groups. The coalition's initiative was delayed while it waited for the release of a report from Blue Ribbon Commission on Marijuana Policy, led by pro-legalization Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D). That report came out last week, and the coalition says it expects to have its initiative ready within a few weeks. The delays in getting the initiative out and the signature-gathering campaign underway are going to put pressure on the campaign. To qualify for the ballot, initiatives must come up with some 366,000 valid voter signatures, and that takes time, as well as money. Most of the other initiatives don't have the money to make a serious run at signatures, but the coalition does. For all of the California legalization initiatives, the real hard deadline for signatures is February 4.
my brain is scrambled eggs after reading endless legal speak on the issue😨😲😨 so which one should us😞 backyard growers support Ped? I'm for the one that spoke of artisan👌crafters but that one is hard pressed unless the state goes hippy in the next 6months✌I know a few people who would gather signatures if they knew which one to back
That's a tough question raevin. Where my mind is at the moment is i'm just waiting for the reform ca / norml initiative to come out. I'm not a huge fan of norml, but if their language is even kind of acceptable i'll be backing that initiative because it has the best chances of winning. I love the MCLR. But it'sa very long initiative which makes it hard to sell. And MCLR doesn't have the financial backing necessary at this point. I know they have been speaking with a potential financial backer, but they don't have the necessary promotional campaign in place to get the backer committed to the project. If the norml initiative doesn't allow for home grows i'll be backing the mclr despite it's problems just because it's the best initiative so far that stands any chance of passing.
RIP DEA? Take a Look at This! With reefer-madness Michelle Leonhard's sex-scandal plagued departure from the DEA and the new Acting Administrator Chuck Rosenberg backing away from her statement equating the dangers of marijuana with heroin, the DEA continues its fall from grace with a series of defeats and embarrassments in the U.S. Congress. The newest one occurred on July 30 with a letter sent to Dept. of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz from Representatives Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) and Sam Farr (D-CA). The two bi-partisan reps introduced an amendment that became part of last December's omnibus spending bill. The successful amendment cut off funds from the DOJ, and hence the DEA, for enforcing federal law against medical marijuana patients and providers in states that legalized medical marijuana. The DEA has so far ignored the amendment continuing to expend resources against medical marijuana with Rosenberg stating the amendment merely stops the Justice Department from "impeding the ability of states to carry out their medical marijuana laws." Farr and Rohrabacher disagree and in the letter to the DOJ wrote "Mr. Rodenbush's interpretation is clearly a stretch," since "the implementation of state law is carried out by individuals and businesses as the state authorizes them to do." The two representatives pointed out that congressional debate over their amendment showed that whether legislators voted for it or against it, they all clearly understood that the amendment would halt federal interference in states with medical marijuana laws. Not leaving any room for doubt the letter went on to state “we believe there is sufficient cause for your office to investigate potential violations of the Anti-Deficiency Act by the Department with regard to its prosecution and other enforcement actions against persons and businesses conducting legitimate medical marijuana activities under state law." The Anti-Deficiency Act makes it a crime to use federal money for purposes that are not approved by Congress. Whether that is enough of a threat to get the DEA to end its “criminal†actions of spending money on something they are not supposed to remains to be seen, but it is just the tip of the iceberg of bad news befalling the DEA in the last two months. Two days before Farr and Rohrabacher released their DOJ letter, the Senate Appropriations Committee on a 16-14 vote passed an amendment that would allow banks to provide financial services to marijuana businesses in states that have legalized medical and recreational marijuana. Although these are the two most recent setbacks, it started back in May when the Senate Appropriations Committee made their first move against the DEA by voting for an historic pro-marijuana amendment which would allow Veterans Administration doctors to recommend medical marijuana to veterans in states where it is allowed. The following month the House went after the DEA cutting their budget by $23 million, the cutting its marijuana eradication unit's budget in half and shutting down its bulk data collections program. It really wasn't that long ago when in 1998, the House voted on the first ever medical marijuana resolution – in this case an anti-medical marijuana resolution that passed 311 – 94. It wasn't until 2003 that a pro-medical marijuana resolution sponsored by that indefatigable bipartisan team of Farr and Rohrabacher was introduced. It failed overwhelmingly by 148 – 268. It took over a decade and additional eight congressional votes before the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment passed in 2014 by a respectable margin of 219-189. Even though they had a year to try and upend the amendment, the DEA came up again on the short end of the stick as the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment passed on June 3, 2015 with an overwhelming vote of 242-186. The DEA maybe seeing the handwriting on the wall as DOJ Public Affairs Specialist Patrick Rodenbush is warning congress that budget cuts “would cause DEA to experience a significant shortfall in their FY16 budget that would severely inhibit their ability to carry out their mission of stopping the manufacture and distribution of illicit drugs†Trying to pacify a congress that doesn't reflexively genuflect to government drug agencies, Acting Adminstrator Rosenberg tried to downplay the DEA's past reefer madness fixation by stating “Typically it's heroin, opioids, meth and cocaine in roughly that order and marijuana tends to come in at the back of the pack.†Unfortunately for the DEA, this is not your father's congress anymore. Dan Riffle of the Marijuana Policy Project says “It's the first time we've ever been able to show momentum in Congress,†Affirming his optimism, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) authoritatively stated “It's no longer political suicide to be seen on Capitol Hill as backing drug reform.†The DEA paradigm of virtue has taken a fall – whether it's a fatal fall or not remains to be seen. A lot of has to do with folks like you whose actions have been shifting public perception of marijuana and emboldened those elected officials who have always felt that way to no longer fear reprisals from the electorate or the police if they actually do something to end marijuana prohibition.

Marijuana Positions of Presidential Candidates Revealed & Senator Feinstein Hears From 11,000 California Constituents on Internet Radio Show Itching to know where the Democratic and Republican Presidential candidates stand on issues relating to marijuana? Want the latest gossip on Senator Diane Feinstein? Then log into the Internet Radio Show Marijuana Compassion and Common Sense at www.blogtalkradio.com/marijuananews right now! The Marijuana Policy Project, the group behind more successful marijuana initiatives than any other group, releasedtheir 2016 Presidential Candidates Report Card, which grades the various major candidates based on their support for marijuana policy reform or the willingness to allow it to move forward. Widely reported in major media outlets such as The New York Times, Huffington Post, Washington Times, and others, the report raised a number of eyebrows with Republican Sen. Rand Paul receiving an A-, the highest grade of any candidate. Morgon Fox, MPP Communications Manager, will provide background on how the report was put together, the criteria for rating the candidates, reveal the ranking of the candidates and the political fallout and brouhaha resulting from its release. California's Senator Diane Feinstein has never seen a War on Drugs bill she didn't like and has been one of the most vociferous opponents of both medical marijuana and marijuana legalization. Even though she is the minority Democrats, her position on the Senate Appropriations Committee give her considerable clout on most of the bills going through Congress. On July 10, 2015 a petition bearing more than 11,000 signatures was delivered to Senator Feinstein's office in San Francisco urging her to stand up for medical marijuana in California. The petitions were delivered by representatives of the Drug Policy Alliance, CaNORML and the Brownie Mary Democratic Club of San Francisco. Amanda Reiman from DPA, is the show's second guest who will explain why the petition was circulated, what happened in Senator Feinstein's office and what the result was. Ms. Reiman will also discuss DPAs program to reach out to our elected officials and convince them that marijuana legalization is something they should support.
