Enough's enough! I consider it an invasion and find it offensive. Time for the citizens (dare I say, *militia*) to push back since the government won't.
Amen.

Exactly! People think they can have their cake and eat it too. These illegal growers would see their market disappear from right under their feet had we legalized it.

People should have known something was wrong when they all came out strongly against legalizing it. Crying that they would have to find jobs outside of growing and would be put out of business. Boo hoo. The moralists sided with illegal drug dealers. LOL

No, the majority of marijuana do want to legalize marijuana, but too many of them were stoned on election day and couldn't find their polling places.

Or thought they left the house in plenty of time to vote but in reality, drove slowly, fed the munchies often, stopped to look at and laugh at nothing and arrived at the polls hours after they closed!

Their California market. To be truly effective, this must happen at the Federal level. But you gotta start somewhere.

I think those looking at this subject from a Legalize/Dont legalize perspective are missing the point. California has soveriegn borders and they are being invaded by illegal aliens. It wouldnt matter if they were growng Ganja or selling Amway.

I briefly considered mentioning that, but something tells me even a tightly controlled border wouldn't keep these types out, given the profits involved. And I'm one of those that wants the Berlin Wall relocated to our Southern border, complete with dead zones.

Their market would also disappear if people stopped smoking pot.

It amazes me that people will boycott a company for animal testing or enviromental reasons, but turn around buy drugs that fund mexican drug cartels that are killing tens of thousands of people a year.

That's true. Do other states have as big of a problem with this as we do?
