HT News Hit - California Leading The Way
Thu, Sep 24, 2009 5:47 pm
• The state of California gave the green light to two marijuana activists trying to get a pot-legalization initiative on the November ballot.
Richard Lee (founder of Oaksterdam University) and Jeff Jones (former director of the Oakland Cannabis Buyers’ Cooperative) are sponsoring a measure to legalize up to an ounce of pot for those over 21.
Lee says, “It would generate billions of dollars in tax revenue.” However, while the initiative seeks to allow “anyone over 21 to possess or grow marijuana for personal use,” it would be up to individual local governments to decide the particulars regarding taxation and regulation – which does not sound like something that would go smoothly.
Of course, possession of marijuana would remain illegal under federal law. Then again, medical marijuana is currently illegal under federal law but that hasn’t stopped Californians from enjoying their medicine (despite the DEA’s best efforts) since Prop 215.
The initiative must collect 433,971 signatures by February 2010. Something tells me this won’t be an issue. …sfgate.com
• Oh boy. This is definitely going to piss off Bill O’Reilly. Apparently a sixteen-year-old in Ohio rolled up a joint with a page from the Bible. No word yet on which verse he was burning (I’m sure you’re dying to know).
Seems the teen’s mother caught him and then “called deputies … and asked if they'd meet her at a highway car wash.” You know. Where her newly possessed son couldn’t hear her.
The police confiscated the kid’s pot and charged him with drug possession. Thanks mom! …foxnews.com

These coal miners are hurting, they suffer on a daily bases. PLEASE BRING YOUR MARIJUANA TO WEST VIRGINIA.
These coal miners NEED YOUR MARIJUANA, you bring it, we'll buy it.
PLEASE HELP THE WEST VIRGINIA COAL MINERS, they need your weed. We also have lazy fat cops who don't care, cause they all smoke dope and drink whiskey till they pass-out.
WEST VIRGINIA: the new party capital of the east. Come and get high in our mountains, where you really get high.

MOM ALSO VOTED FOR OBAMA AND WATCHES CNN AND NBC AND IS UP ON THE LATEST TELEVISION DRAMA SERIES WASTING HER LIFE COMPLETELY OR SHE IS ANOTHER BITCH WHO WOULD HAVE RATHER WORKED AND NEVER GOT MARRIED OR HAVE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH "BRATS" BECAUSE SHE IS SELFISH AND MORE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT THINK OF "HER" IF THIS GOT OUT THAT SHE ALLOWED THE LITTLE GUY TO SMOKE THE EVIL HERBS!!!
SHE IS BRAINWASHED LIKE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE DOING THE GOVERNMENTS BIDDING AND SUBMITTING HER AUTHORITY TO THEM BECAUSE IT IS EASIER THIS WAY THAN TO DEAL WITH ANOTHER HUMAN BEING LET ALONE YOUR OWN CHILD!!! SURE THE GOVERNMENT WILL RAISE HIM UP JUST FINE I'M SURE!!!! OH WELL.
ANOTHER UNLOVED CHILD. WHAT POSSIBLE HARM COULD THAT BRING?!?
COLUMBINE? OH AND COULD WE INCLUDE VIRGINIA TECH AND THE MASSACRE THAT OCCURED THERE? OR WILL MORVA WHO KILLED TWO IN VIRGINIA TECHS BACKYARD DURRING AN ESCAPE ATTEMPT GONE BAD? HE WAS ESTRANGED FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS AS WAS THE LATEST CASSUALTY OF THIS WAR ON DRUGS AND PEOPLES BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS AND LACK OF SUPPORT FOR OUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS.
I LOST A FRIEND TO DEPRESSION AND DRUGS AND ALCOHOL AGAIN THIS SUMMER THAT MAKES THREE NOW AND I AM REALLY AT A LOSS FOR THE BEST WORDS TO DESCRIBE MY UTTER AND COMPLETE DISGUST AND SADNESS THAT THIS YOUNG FELLOW FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS AS THEY SAY.,
A CULMINATION OF BAD THINGS BEYOND HIS CONTROL HAPPENING TO HIM AND AROUND HIM WERE TOO MUCH TO BARE AND HE TOOK HIS LIFE BY HANGING.
THE WORST ENDING IN ITSELF IT MOST CERTAINLY WAS AND THE REAL HEART BREAKER FOR ME "IS"/ WAS., HEARING THAT HIS BEST BUDDIES FOUND HIM A DAY OR SO AFTER THE FACT.
HIS ONLY FAMILY THAT IS CLOSE IS BEHIND BARS FOR SELLING OUR SACRED HERB ON TOP OF THIS!!!
YUP! HIS BROTHER IS IN GOD DAMNED JAIL FOR SELLING WEED MOTHER FUCKER GOD DAMN IT!!! MAYBE IF HIS OLDER BROTHER WAS'NT IN JAIL HIS LITTLE 18 YEAR OLD BABY BROTHER WOULD'NT HAVE COME TO THIS HORRIBLY SAD LONLEY END OF LIFE SO YOUNG.
REST IN PEACE B.G.
MAY THE STRENGTH OF THE GODS SUPPORT YOUR BROTHER DURING THIS WHILE HE IS IN JAIL AND AWAY FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS! MAY PEACE BE WITH YOU.
TO ALL MY FRIENDS IN CYBERDOM PLEASE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND LOVE THEM AS BEST YOU CAN WHEN YOU CAN AND DO NOT TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED AND SUPPORT THEM AND KEEP THEM CLOSE WHEN THEY ARE DOWN AND OUT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE EVILS OF THE DEVIL MAY TAKE YOUR LOVED ONES LIFE FROM THEM AND YOUR LIFE FOREVER.
IT IS A BATTLEE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL PLAIN AND SIMPLY SPOKEN YOU ALL. IT IS A BATTLE IN WICH THAT THE EVILS IN THIS WORLD WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SADNESS AND ANGER AND MAKE YOU ACT ACCORDING TO THE EVIL AND HATE AND DESPAIR.
MOST OF US ARE HELPLESS AGAINST IT WITHOUT PLENTY OF LOVE AND SUPPORT FROM OUR PEOPLE AND FAMILY., WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE THOSE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE YOU ARE FACING A MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY AND YOU MAY LOOSE BEFORE YOU KNOW WHAT HIT YOU.
TAKE HEED ALL MY READERS AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER WELL AND BE GOOD TO ONE ANOTHER AS BEST YOU CAN AND GROW YOUR OWN AND FREE YOUR MIND AND FREE THE PLANET!!!!!
