Prohibition kills a massive number of people in the United States every year. It does help make a few people extremely wealthy, but at the same time, it impoverishes the rest of us. This dire situation is mostly unknown, but it is not due to a simple misunderstanding or lack of knowledge about prohibition. It is because prohibition is nothing but a scam.
Steve Kubby’s foreword to Jesse Ventura’s Marijuana Manifesto demonstrates that the state has no moral purpose for enforcing marijuana prohibition. Rather, the state is actively covering up the fact that marijuana is not highly dangerous and marijuana has well-established benefits.
Readers will be amazed at how callously law enforcement and the justice system treated Kubby and his wife. However, do not forget that the state’s enforcement of drug prohibition laws give them the opportunity to brandish their weapons in an attempt to scare us. Such laws have also been enacted and enforced to suppress minority groups.
Entrepreneurs and scientists are only beginning to explore the potential of marijuana and hemp. The plant promises to be a near cure-all medicinal ingredient. Hemp seeds are a super nutrition food that can help restore and maintain health. The plants are a master ingredient, like crude oil, that can be used to produce, or help produce, just about everything we need without the use of fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides.
In excess of 150 million dollars has been put into prop 62 by the pro marijuana folks..a pittance by the anti folks. Much of the money comes from a billionaire who hopes to capitalize on becoming the McDonald's of marijuana.
Interestingly enough many small growers in California are against the initiative because it is constructed to put them out of business within five years.
BMEis already up and running... The seven million has already been allocated and the accountants are already sharpening their pencils. The never ending thirst for money by politicians will push the initiative to pass.
Oregon sold 160 millions dollars of weed last year..taking in 40 million in taxes..sounds great doesn't it?
Not after you factor in all the costs..from lost worker productivity to duid... The real costs get fuzzy..just like Colorado and Washington... The devil has its due
My salary exceeds 100k... Thank you dope smokers

You never have and never will get paid the big bucks.
well... if by some hapnestance, your home grown gets cross pollinated with a Monsanto variety, and you plant those seeds, you will be in violation of the law and subject to fines and more.
Monsanto will come get a leaf, genetically test it, go to the government and get you raided for violating their patent.
so be careful that your home grown isn't grown where the "wind" can blow pollen in your direction
