Using Pot to Pay for School?

Calif. Student Asks for Donations To Pay for College, Promises 75% of Donations Will Go Toward Marijuana Reform

Thu, Jul 30, 2009 5:08 pm


Source: www.cbsnews.com

 

So with college costs skyrocketing and the nation in the throes of a deep recession, what's a kid to do if he can't afford school?

 
California student Andrew Squire has an idea - use pot.
 

Okay, not technically use pot. More like use the idea of reforming marijuana laws as a way to raise some cash for college.

 

As reported by CBS station WOVR in Sacramento, Squire has started a Website called stonerdollars.com to solicit donations to pay for college in San Diego. The kick for donors? Seventy-five cents of every dollar will go to marijuana reform groups.

 

So far, the action's been slow. Really slow. The site launched about a month ago and as of this story's publication, Squire has brought in just $10.66. What's worse - he only gets to keep around $2.67.

Monogomy is not a word, it it an ideal. It is you, or it is just a word to you. Legal prostitution would help relieve the tensions of the needy and desperate, "just looking for a good time"? Desperate, and yes they have criminal records, are not always evil. People know evil, and desperate. Or you're just blind, or don't care. But many marriages fail because the male won't stay mongomous, and the rest fail because the woman won't stay monogomous.

Legal pot and prostitution would remove the stresses, and most of the crimes, related to sex and their deviants. It would generate more than $50 trillion annually. It could save the neurological deficiencts and prodigy's. All are victims and potential Hitlers, all are human and potential genius. Convicting them as criminals makes them only one thing - worse for society.

lab3 - have you been doin crack? Sell your body for money? Not a chance. My brain? Definately. For homegrown pot, free education, and a gun to help police - I'd sell pot for any reason.

Just to pay the rent, and help the poor, and the environment, and make the G't man some serious cheese. Plus he then knows he has a new safe-house. Friendly, but safe. Hopefully they might know some retards (hopefully pretty) that need God or prison (or worse, which I ain't into). I don't preach God, I live it. You either have it or you don't. I don't need to speak Latin to walk the path of Jesus. You think he had a manual? But the fucker shoulda at least carried a shield? No shield? Dumb fuck. With all them spears hunting him down? Nope, just a few sheep.

Sometimes I feel like Neo. I know your intentions, and if they're evil, before you even enter my room. That is a scary thought, to be able to read people, and be able to make them do anything you want. ANYTHING. Human traficking?

"Let me blow you, and I'll give you my 3 and 10 year-old sisters? That's not a gay man barking up the wrong tree, that is an evil Goliath staring down at puny Mjolnir (the cub scout)who doesn't 'do' or sell babies. And people want to take MY gun? Keep the guns, free the weed, help the cops. Or pay the price.

We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. 3We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
4For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, 5because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. 6You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. 7And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. 8The Lord's message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, 9for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

Rage On a Mt

When I was fishing the other day, I met a good friend Jeff. He was telling me this story of someone he know, who told him a story about Grizzly Bears.

While I had never been a hunter, Dad was a Navy man and a Technician who didn't have time for guns and grizzlys cuz he was raising 6 kids (obviously the result of Catholic Rhythme...and love), but we knew the difference between a Brown Bear and a Grizzly.

He was told of an encounter, where a 78 lb boy scout stood down a Grizzly - with nothing but words. No elphant rifle, no wet-work, no net-work. Just the honor of his deceased Navy's Dads name, to do something when you witness evil, "Try to help, THEN call for help".

Each citizen must be willing to protect eachother...til the cops show. Not close the blinds and close your eyes. The government, the police, the Fed's can't be everywhere at once, they need honest people to help to control the situation until the PRO's show.

But with fewer and fewer honest citizens willing to help...stupid law suits ruined that, "Oh, well he did pull me from the fire, but I got this glass splinter in my finger".

But the puny cub scout would never back down. He could sense danger. Deception. Evil. It made his skin crawl. Always oppressed by it, he knew it well. And wore it like a badge. The puny, the weak, will always be oppressed by the stronger and bolder. The cub was strong, but not bold. He didn't want to hunt Grizzly, they hunted him.

Well the cub scout never made it to boy scout, due to a few encounters with Grizzlys. The first two, not worth mentioning. They came in the campground, but just sniffed around. But the third was the defining moment of the cubs life. The reason he lives and breathes today. Every waking moment, and most of the sleepless ones, is horrified by what a Grizzly would be willing to do.

When he witnessed a grizzly offering 2 innocent cubs as barter-for-gain. A Grizzly, about to attack, the puny cub scout stood betwenn the Grizzly and the innocent. And when the tiny cub was done speaking his voice, making his words felt, not just heard - he made sure the 2 innocent cubs were fine and on a shout-out, "Mom, come quick", and the Grizzly just walked away. The cub that took down a Grizzly was never seen again.

"I don't know the fate of the family, but the cubs were safe, the only reason I want to wake up in the morning" was the last I heard of the puny cub scout. Grizzly Bears are far better left to the Pofessional Hunters. The cub scout never wanted to go hunting, and skin a Grizzly. But they need to kow that citizens are doing their part, to sharpen the spear.

I wish Jeff were willing to share more, it should be a Lifetime Mini Movie...or something. If nothing else, a shout out to the G't man to let him know we are all doing our part to make this country better. But we need more happy citizens paying taxes, not convicted criminals. Free the Weed. The country desperately needs the money.

He did mention 1 thing though, the cub always seemed a little edgey after that. Duh? To stare down a Grizzly, easily 3 times bigger, with no weapon - but the power of voice?. I'd be a little edgey, and shitting-my-pants!

But the cub went on to find a club, where the members of the club love hunting Grizzly. And protect their family fiercely. I just thought these types of people needed a little motivational story. The cub scout found a safe organization to share his story with. So, while never learning how to hunt a grizzly, doesn't mean he didn't know how to protect the innocent from it. But, it doesn't mean you have to kill it to disarm it. The power of the human voice can be magical.

$1.000 per plant! Pay the Man!

Peace. Pot. Police. Can't we all be happy, together?

Sherriffs who are pessimists
Dentists that are centrists
Professors professin' lesser
Students with no prudence and
Poets they don't know it

gstlab3- the attacks on you show you are making a point that is unwelcome by some. Most likely the "lackies" as you call them. Get distracted, they win. Get to radical (guns, dead people), they win. Keep pushing freedom & the DECEIT & LIES ABOUT MARIJUANNA and we all win.

ps- give that long hair a shake, I think theres a twig in there from the last excursion in the woods.

while our young people are having a hard time going and paying for college the government is giving away trillions of dollars to the banks, this morning an article in the L.A. times says that Citigroup and Merril Lynch lost 55 billion dollars combined last year, then they took the 175 billion dollars from the bail out and gave themselves million dollar bonuses to the tune of 35 billion dollars what the **** is going on here is anybody in the government paying attention,
why is the government and the bankers taking a shit all over us while we are loosing our jobs and can't even afford to get an education.

To the real gstlab3 don't let yourself be distracted by anything, we want your input and ideas, don't let yourself be sucked into a vortex of emptiness, as you well know this site is being monitored by spooks so just stay focused on the cause and smoke on, free the weed, as for this article I think if this young man stays with his idea eventually he will strike gold, that is green sticky gold.

WE ALL KNOW THAT MOST OF THE QUOTE "HIGHER EDUCATION" IS FILLED WITH A LOT OF LIBERAL CRAP FROM A BUNCH OF LOOSER HIPPIES THAT HAD TO GET A JOB!!!! TO BAD FOR THEM!!! JUST SMOKE SOME WEED AND TAKE DEEPER BREATHS AND HOPE WE SOON REALIZE THAT LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER LIKE DR.SAVAGE SAID!!! FREE THE WEED!! FREE THE MIND!!! FREE THE COUNTRY!!!!
