L.A. City Council Does Not Want Tax Revenue (If It Comes from Pot)

You people are a sheepish herd... Why the fuck are you all so desperate to get in bed
with Babylon? Legalization?-I don't remember asking permission from anyone in the first place-legal or not.there will be consequences for delivering the freedom this plant represents into the hands of the hypocrites... Can anyone see this but me? Maybe not yet but you will.

This Government we are currently being governed by, is more worried about cash revenue from the timber industry than giving what us people deserve. Sad to say but the voice of the people is gone. We have let the federal gov take too much out of liberties for their own personal gain.

Well, we will see if they still don't want marijuana tax revenue when cigarette tax revenue drops, taxpayers flee the high cost of living in the LA area, police, teachers, firefighters, and other EMS officials pay starts to drop. Corporations and other jobs flee California.
I guess want LA is saying that their city budget is soooo in the black that they don't even need any more tax revenue.

IS THE LA CITY COUNCIL SAYING NO TO 1.4 BILLION??? THE CITY NEEDS THAT MONEY,,WAKE UP AND GROW UP !!!!,,MARIJUANA IS THE NEXT US GOLD,, AND ITS GREEN LIKE MONEY ! FOR PEOPLE OVER 21!!! P.S.. HOW LONG CAN THAY SAY NO???? THATS REALLY THE QUESTION !

I wonder if California still has forefiture laws? I'll bet that they still keep seized cash from pot raids.

Grow your own, spread the love. :-) Peace

fuck the us and all the evil people runing it i left the fuck aot ALL GROW YOUR OWN OVER GRO THE GOV AND SMOKE ALL DAY EVERI DAY PEACE AND LOVE THE SACRED TREE .TREE OF LIFE.

they are ignoring the fact that marijuana is already widely available everywhere but it is not benefiting our infrastructure or our economy, the revenue is being exported, they are wasting precious resources in fighting legislation that was implemented by the people of california, now the federal government supersedes the rights of the individual states and the state governments are simply ignoring the voice of the people, when are they going to be reasonable?
why is it that the politicians always let their power go to their heads, and use the government resources in order to attack and harass cannabis dispensaries, hey big brother get off our back that is why we have elections and vote for legislation, why don't the politicians have any respect for the democratic process, tyranny we don't want.

these people are fucking idiots!!! now that all these people fucked over this country by not overseeing the markets and banks, now their choosey about how they get the tax money!! bite me!! legalize pot now california be the first on the block to say yes!!

they wont take tax from medical marijuana but they have no qualms accepting it from the firearms industry or oil companies

All the weed smokers in the US and across the world need to start smokin buds everywhere, all the time...light that shit up in the streets, in the malls, in traffic, on the patio, on campus, at city hall...bloody everywhere! They cant arrest us all...but they will try. Its civil disobediance(sp?)...non violent protest. Just like the civil rights era... you gotta take a stand son. Tell everybody how you feel and give them the facts regarding marijuana use and the culture behind it. Too many of these uptight bastards think that just because you smoke a little herb everyday that you're a fuckin degenerate... Get up, stand up, dont give up the fight!!

Fuck what the LA city council wants. Its all about the people. We have a government that was created by its people and the government should stand by its people. Let the people vote and we will decide what the county of Los Angeles is to do regarding marijuana.

I say if they don't want the tax money F*** them. Keep the dispensaries open as it's your RIGHT under state law, and give what would have been city taxes directly to the state.

The city council may not want that money, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the city, and the state probably do.

Jackasses.

AM I TRIPPING OUT IN SOME ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE LOGIC IS THE LAST RESORT?
DOES THE CONSTITUTION SAY OR DOES IT NOT THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE GOVERNMENT IS TO PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF THE PEOPLE AND THE COUNTRY?
IS'NT THAT WHY WE HAVE ELECTIONS TO PROVIDE THE CITEZENRY WITH DIRECT INPUT AND SOME FORM OF CONTROLL OVER WHAT WE DO AS A GROUP OR AS A WHOLE NATION?
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE PEOPLE WE HAVE IN OUR CITY HALLS AND IN THE STATE HOUSES HAVE ALL BUT ABANDONED THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE CALIFORNIA AND FOR THE REST OF THE COUNTRY THE SAME CAN BE SAID DEFINITIVELY.,
WHERE DO THE PEOPLE TURN WHEN THE PEOPLE ELECTED TO OFFICE AND THOSE WHO ARE APPOINTED TO OFFICES WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE CITEZENRY RUN AMOK AND IGNORE THE RULE OF LAW/AMMENDMENTS TO" DULY VOTED ON AND APPROVED BY THE PEOPLE OR EVEN THOSE LAWS AS THEY ARE WRITTEN IN THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION!??!!!??? WHERE ARE WE TO GO? WHAT DO WE DO WHEN AT EVERY ELECTION THE PEOPLE ARE RUN AROUND THE BUSH BY A BUNCH OF GOD DAMNED LAWYERS AND PSYCHOPHANTS OF BIG INTERESTS AND THE POLITICAL STATUS QUO?!

DO I DARE?!?!? GO THERE?
THEY ARE IGNORING AND INSULTING THE PEOPLE BY REFUSING GOOD HARD EARNED MONEY AND HARD EARNED RIGHTS TO BE HEARD AT THE BALLOT BOX AND IN THE STREETS!!!

I DO!!! I DO GO THERE!!!! IN THE STREETS.., AND I HAVE SEEN WAY TO MUCH OF OUR COUNTRIES WEALTH WASTED BY THESE LEACHEROUS LAWYERS AND THEIR LAKIES ON "PROGRAMS" AND BIG BUISNESS INTERESTS BEING PUT BEFORE THE COMMON GOOD OF THE CITIZENRY., WHEN DOES IT FINALLY MAKE THE PEOPLE REVOLT?? BY IGNORING THE SYSTEM?? AS WE HAVE BEEN IGNORED?? OR HOW ABOUT THE WORST CASE SENARIO? CHILDREN MURDERING CHILDREN OVER RESPECT IN THE DRUG TURF WARS IN OUR STREETS IS THAT WHAT WE WANT TO CONTINUE? SEEMS TO BE SO.,
WHEN OUR MOTHERS AND FATHERS ANGUISH TURNS INTO RIVERS OF TEARS WILL THAT BE THE SIGHN WE ARE WAITING FOR?
WHEN MATIERIAL GOODS AND WEALTH ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN LIFE ITSELF WILL WE THEN LISTEN TO THE CRIES FROM THE SICK AND POOR? I DOUBT IT.,IT WILL NEVER CHANGE UNTILL THE MONEY AND POWER WORSHIP IS BROUGHT TO AN END BY THE FREEDOM LOVING PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND AND CAN RELATE WHAT IS AT STAKE TO THE COMMON MAN.
THE FREEDOM TO HONESTLY CHOOSE OUR PATHS IN LIFE AND IN SICKNESS AND DEATH HAVE BEEN HIGHJACKED BY THESE MONEY HUNGRY EVIL MEN AND WOMEN IN POWER WHO WISH TO FIT US ALL INTO A TIDY LITTLE REGIMINE OF THEIR BIG PHARMA AND BIG AGRICULTURE AND SOCIAL ENGINEERED PHANTASY LAND OF US AND "THEM" THE ELITE AND POWERFULL WHO WILL IF GIVEN HALF A CHANCE WILL ENSLAVE US EVEN MORE TO THEM AND THEIR MACHINERY OF TAX AND CONTROLL!!!!!
FIGHT FOR FREEDOM AND GROW YOUR OWN!!!!!! FREE YOUR MIND. AND FREE THE PLANET!!!!
AND IT WOULD NOT BE A HALF BAKED IDEA TO PREPARE FOR CIVIL UNREST AND RIOTS AND ECONOMIC DISASTER TOO!!!!
HEY I'M JUST SAYING.., "people are stupid" AND WE ARE MOST CERTAINLY BEING LED BY BY FOOLS AND WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO BEING DEFENDED BY COWARDS IF WE CAN GET ANYMORE LIBERAL IN THIS MILITARY TODAY???!!! GIVING CITEZENSHIP TO CONVICTED FELONS AND THIEVES??? FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AND SOME OF MOST OF WHAT I HEARD IS BECAUSE WE CANNOT GET OUR OWN CITEZENS TO JOIN UP AT THE RATE THEY NEED TO KEEP UP THE FIGHTING OF THE ENTIRE PLANETS DESENTORS AND RELIGIOUS OUTPOSTS AND OTHER KEY ASSETS LIKE THE DRUG PRODUCING REGIONS OF THE PLANET.YUP WERE IN THE BUISNESS OF ENGINEERING THE ENTIRE PLANETS ECONOMY AND POLITICAL SYSTEMS.,
THE SECOND AMENDMENT MAY BE OUR SAVING GRACE YOU ALL!!!!
GODS SPEED TO THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS!!!!!!

One time for me God. Just politely take the stick out of these peoples Asses i mean Pot should be considered medicine if not a plant that should be eaten or smoked and considered less harmful than Alcohol or tobacco.

Fuck The World and all the PUSSIES running it
