It appears to a guy on the outside looking in that each group could very well be completely full of shit.
I wonder if the politicians that participated in these private meeting read this shit. Holy Fuck could they sort out some shit. Joe Cain was voted out at last tribal council. It looks like the merge is ready to happen. Are people going to stick with old alliances or do those in jeopardy create new alliances. Is it like that? Who can outwit, outlast, and outplay?

Unfortunately, yes, to some degree. There are crooks on our side too..or at least they claim to be on our side. Big money in medical cannabis..cannabis in general. Big money crooks vie for "top dog" in this arena, just like politics.

Sometimes all you can do is try and pick the least bad choice.....and align there....Kinda like the upcoming election..If not Obama, Who?..by the time it gets to the poles..thier won't be a good choice.

Same with "VOTE NO ON BILLS "...my point all along was that the bills were going to pass, and we should be more concerned about helping word them better, not trying to block them. I took an ass whipping for that position. At the end of the day..how did it turn out?

What bills are you talking about?

Compromising with them on wording leads some representatives to believe we are actually happy with changes when we are not, and helps bills pass. It's why they compromise in the first place.

This was in regards for the bills passed last Thursday. Once a bill is scheduled, and close to being heard, you can yell all you want about saying no...it's going to be heard. Once a bill is scheduled, as in this situation, all you can do successfully is lobby for positive wording. Sure, you can TECHNICALLY call for a no vote...but history proves that fruitless on bills of any type.

Many bills are still far enough away to try and block..but as they get closer to a hearing date,,,we need to re-direct focus to damage control....to not compromise, is to let them pass the bill "as introduced"..and that would have been WORSE last Thursday.

I agree with you 100% our mmj law should not be changed at all. I didnt agree to any new rules at all. I agreed to follow the law in accordance with the mmj act

Quite simply, I still think the guy that got shot, the shooting had little to do with cannabis.

The original reason for the cops to stop by, was domestic violence...no cannabis connection without that. And who is to say the cops didn't smell cannabis? Maybe he was near the end of flower and his house smelled "delicious". Perhaps a friend medicated a half hour ago before he left. But the bottom line is: He lunged at a cop with a knife. That gets you shot.

Had he been tasered, timmah would have still tried to say too much force..it was a tiny little knife..they could have overpowered him and not used the tasers.

Point being, the whole argument is a mis direction ploy..keep people busy arguing that..but not working on issues.

PUBLIC APPEARANCE MATTERS! Especially when talking about a dispensary or market.

Ahhh yes there you are.

The problem is..That will not happen...no law ever stays as written very long. And most have the initial flurry of changes soon after they are enacted. It's what bills and legislature are about...it's how they work. Especially with "peoples Initiative" laws...they are notoriously poorly worded. Who he won't admit that if whoever had penned this law, had added maybe 2 more paragraphs, that we wouldn't be arguing any of this?

I swear most of you do not want total legalization.

Ozzrock...I'm consistent...that what confuses you. Timmahh was never consistent...only consistently "fear mongering" or changing direction to mis lead.
