This idea SUDDENLY came to me in a vision! And I just now finished putting the final polish on the idea. Here's the link to the idea. What Is hempSnot? Psychology teaches us that people are twice as motivated by pain than they are by pleasure. Our idea to make it "MORE painful" for people who have yet to sign the legalization petition. The basic idea is to publicly humiliate hemp haters via modern day public humiliation tools. If you are "blocking" legalization, we believe you deserve a Darwin Award. If you are blocking global hemp progress and are responsible for the direct, or indirect actions, of the MASS amounts of people being killed, because of prohibition. We want your "hemp hating" self to help humanity evolve through your voluntary removal from existence and/or the gene pool. All thoughts, ideas, and help are appreciated! This project needs a bit of help! Currently we need a programmer who can program a dynamic leader board, similar to Reddit. If anyone knows ANYONE, I would greatly appreciate it. HAIL HEMP!
Yes instead of presenting facts lets just humiliate them That always gets them to agree with your points. Lulz.
How are a bunch of nambly pamblies going to humiliate anyone? Huh? Oh my, a bunch of leftist twit actevists with no credibility and impeded cognitive function think they can humiliate me? I have a feeling any attempt by a bunch of late teen early twenties, incense burning, tie die wearing, sign waving, mantra spouting, brainwashed dingle heads will only result in me having a hell of a good time messing with them. I mean, your idea is great, send your forces out so I may smite them with my wordplay. Exactly what kind of tactics will you use? Will you yell over dissenting opinions, will you throw green paint on people? Will you post their names on a stupid webpage? Will you chant at them? I'm curious how a group such as yours thinks they could ever shame anyone but themselves.
I'm kind of OVER the idea of having "them" agree with "us". The simple fact is, deaths are happening cuz of prohibition. To be interpreted as globally as one has researched. Right? We are at the point where enough of the truth is out that it's time to take sides. If you choose to continue to be a "hemp-Snot" than there should be ramification, punishment... SOMETHING!!! How do we start punishing those who are CLEARLY wrong? I also believe you should be labeled as a "hemp-Snot", even if you're the "lazy stoner" who smokes too much weed to get off there tail pipe to sign a legalization petition! Respectfully of course. My questions is. How far can we "legally" take this idea of medieval public humiliation? I honestly believe the truth is THIS obvious! And "the man" has been spreading SUCH an effective "mind control" campaign that it continues to spew SNOT all over society. Generation, after generation. It feels like it's time to choose sides. Corporate greed, death and destruction. Or. Health, wealth and wisdom of the plant? Right?
You bring up a LOT of excellent points man! This is the main reason why I want to get community feedback before just... POPPING my head up out of no where with some "silly" little idea. To be candid with you, I honestly dunno "specifically" how to publicly humiliate those who should be ashamed of themselves. For their crimes against, not only the hemp plant, but humanity! Mainly I want to start with the current cannabis lovers. If you "love" cannabis and you have yet to sign a legalization petition, you should be pointed out by our community, featured, until you take action to sign a petition. Fair? Maybe??? I don't want to go over anyone's heads, who run the community, however, I like the idea of labeling "too lazy stoners to register to vote and sign a petition to TOTALLY legalize cannabis" as Harry J. Anslinger cult followers. The mantra for the lazy stoner who has yet to sign the petition should be: "HAIL HARRY J. ANSLINGER!" Lazy stoners who want legalization but don't take the actions, are equivalent to Harry J. Anslinger. Fair right? Your inaction and ignorance to local petitions are decisions to follow the cult leader, Harry J. Anslinger. Right? Our community should NOT allow y'all to get away with that! Right? I say we make it just a "little bit" more painful for those who support but don't act? Maim, label, award, feature, etc.. them Harry J. Anslinger cult followers for those who support but don't sign? Shouldn't it be wrong for "supporters" to SAY they want legalization but their actions don't match their words? I'll be the first to admit to being a lazy stoner who didn't take action, sign the petition, and do all the steps needed to contribute. I have taken ZERO action, legally, to help legalize. I should be ashamed of MYSELF! I'll be the first to admit to accidentally following the cult leader, Harry J. Anslinger. By my direct inaction, stupidity, fear, or WHATEVER you want to call it, I have YET to sign and contribute. I want to be the first to say ENOUGH! ENOUGH ENOUGH! Right? And once I contribute, I want to feature MY signature on the legalization petition, publicly on a website, so I can be safe from being maimed a Harry J. Anslinger cult follower, by our community. Thoughts?
So many things are wrong with the mj legalization debate already that I will feel no shame until a bill is passed that says weed is legal - No insane taxes, no mandated regulatory bodies, no silly regulations on how you can use the substance. Until such a bill comes across I refuse to support legalization. We all know what the teams are, and I'm not about let them extort me. I rather take my chances than have the Olcc in charge of the racket so they can get even more funding and terrorize even more people for violating section 2, subset 7 of the olcc bullshit regulation or some shit.
High taxes and tight regulations is the only way weed is going to be legalized. It sounds like you're against the idea of buying closely regulated, over-priced weed from a dispensary. But no one's going to stop you from growing your own. If other people are willing to pay high prices, why get in the way? Headlines about billions in weed tax revenue is the quickest way toward nationwide legalization.
I definitely agree and you raise EXCELLENT points. I "had" my name on a little petition last year, but, for similar reasons to you, I NEVER turned it in. And I basically stopped talking to that specific community. There seems to be a LOT of pussy footing going on! And it sux!! I wonder what the "ideal" legalization petition would look like? Something to the effect of cannabis availability for over the counter use? That sounds about right.. I often fantasized about defecting from the US and just DOING WHAT I WANT with no regards to their messy political bull shit. I'm tired of trying to jump hula hoops through ass holes. But, cult leader Harry J. Anslinger has influenced a LOT of minds. And those minds who got taken control of, actually BELIEVE they are doing the right thing?! How can Big Pharma own the patent, US 20130059018, that says cannabis cures cancer, hide it WELL ENOUGH, that cult followers are still vomiting the puke that is killing!?
The main problem with legalization are the lawyers and politicians. Both parties want to make sure they get their big slimy pieces of the pie . They say our best odds are to tax the crap out of it, allow some asshats to regulate and give cops a bunch of money so that they can get those new machine guns, drones, tanks and whatever else. The average voter doesn't care where the taxes go, how much they are or what group would be in charge of setting the rules. They just see mj legal vs mj illegal. So to say voters wouldn't pass a bill with minimal taxes and common sense regulations is false IMO.
They make the laws - that's the problem. If people attack them, their agenda will be NEVER to legalize weed due to the behaviour of the protestors. I agree, weed should be legal everywhere. But, you have to play their game unfortunately. You cannot force their hand, or they will just blacklist the issue. The only thing that scares the shit out of a politician, is getting voted out. So we must make this issue HUGE! IF the issue gets massive media attention, even more than what it's been getting - they will have no choice but to back legislation changes. The politicians are snealy, caniving little fucks who want to spread their own agenda rather than listen to the comulitative opinions of the people who voted them in... But if those voters turn away, and the politicians can see they won't have a job soon...they will change tactics. The key to a media blitz is to get (as bad as this sounds) stories about cancer patients and other people with serious illnesses that are using cannabis. This will make more people understand the plight of the cannabis community, and also will encourage more people to vote for parties or individuals with cannabis legislation changes in their political plan. Unfortunately, this is an integral part of showing the world what's been happening. It's waking up the sheeple every so slowly, but we must keep going.. Make surveys and send them to your representatives with thousands of signatures. Turn up to their public appearances and show them the new studies, statistics and publicly ask them why the government has patents on cannabis for medicine but will not pass legislation to legalize it... We all know it's about them preparing to make money from pharma extraced compounds, but they think we're dumb. They think you all watch the news and believe everything you see... They're happy with that, because most of the population does just that, but you can't hide from the truth in this day and age... We have a guy in our State who was just arrested for healing his 2yo girl with cannabis oil while she has cancer of her nervous system. She has a 50-50 chance of survival now, as all her meds were taken away and she was put back in hospital where she is constantly having seizures... That petition to our dumb as fuck prime minister has nearly 200k signatures... nearly enough for a federal inquest. So we must keep up pumping these causes and showing the public what is really happening. The more eyes and minds that are open, the less votes the conservative wankers will miss out on.. Just my 2c
There's a big difference between telling voters their state would get an extra 25 million over the next few years and and telling them they'd get an extra 500 million. Voters care about such a difference in money when states are cutting services left and right. So while neither of us can say for sure that higher tax revenue is the sole cause for a state legalizing, it's common sense that the more tax revenue reported the more alluring legalization is to cash strapped states. and what, in your opinion, is common sense regulation? What's wrong with the way Colorado is doing things. I haven't heard many stoners from Colorado complaining. Instead, loads of out-of-state tourist are flooding the state. Doesn't seem like anyone wants to go back to prohibition in Colorado due to over-regulation.
I could handle Colorado style of legalization. However, I'll be PISSED if legal weed is more costly than the non legal. We need to turn the dials back to a time BEFORE Harry J. Anslinger. Over the counter cannabis? That just makes sense! Too much fear polluting the minds though. Unfortunately..
I think humans will always be "snakey" like that. The right thing is only the "right thing" if the "proper person" gets paid. Real world mind control is BEYOND crazy. And very real. Fear is an easy way to control the masses. Aka, sheeple.
The price will drop over time. In the meantime I'd gladly pay a higher price to have access to a massive selection of weed strains and products in a legal state. Not to mention high tax revenue means the popularity of legalization continues to spread.
The people who control the money, unfortunately, will ALWAYS want/need more. You can never have too much of the thing that fulfills the needs of the "primitive animal" that lays calmly with in... Until triggered! All humans have this "deep" unconscious animal that only responds to survival needs. Threaten it, and be prepared! I don't get WHY the person with the "biggest stick" gets seen/portrayed as the "angle of light"? The average of just about anything is bullshit!
That sounds like a lot of work. Why don't we just kidnap the opposition and paint them in pro colors, make them wear pro legalization shirts and gear, and than upload the photo to their hacked social media accounts?
I like your optimism. I still don't like how much time its going to take.. The pace DOES seem to be picking up though... We just need to keep the "Refer Madness Turkeys" from trying to reverse progress.
Kidnapping is criminal. Highlighting a persons actions, or in action, and "labeling" it as a crime, as per civil authority. Has a nice ring to it. I wouldn't mind forever immortalizing people like Harry J. Anslinger, as the chief cult leader responsible for more deaths than Hitler, etc... Nancy Grace is a classic cult follower. DEA agents, etc...
