A call to all growers

I never looked around in these broader forums, I'm usually in the technical ones (I'm a wicked nerd). Lately I have been smoking some pretty optimisticly influencing weed and thinking that we all need to work together better too...

Its been brought to my attention that over 1/3 of our country is in a medical marijuana state..
What we should do is migrate to one of these states and register to vote. Then we can continue to encourage our local politicians to "do the right thing" while we quietly cultivate and distribute low cost medical marijuana in the spirit of exercising reasonable freedom in the face of central government repression (a president established by your own local government, and you don't get much a better excuse than that).

It would be in the federal governments interest allowing this to continue as it demonstrates that a central government can cater to its citizens on a local level and be strong as a product of it. Besides it is at the fundamental core of our country's founding belief.

It would improve national security too by loosening the Mexican mafia's foothold on our country (and a decent sized piece of its economy).

Imagine that, a government that could actually work...maybe well.... perhaps for a while...

Then join us. I fight all the time. And no 1 state will not do it we need more. 60% to make fed law. So new states need invited. If your not in a state push it. I've been in jail for it but I pushed the law as far as I could.

I dont think migrating to states that already allow it would help. I think just the opposite is needed, move to states that have support for it but not yet a majority, help give it that extra edge it needs to become a MMC state. Once we get over 50% of states allowing MMC then we have a chance of forcing the gov't to act.


THAT would be possible, cramming a bunch of MMC into only 1/3 of the states would cause overcrowding and people would get fed up.

I just worry that you will get a blind eye turned to you before you change the federal laws... Besides all major migrations in our history have been around periods of economic recession so it seemed like as good an excuse as any for finding a new place to live(we can call it the "Green rush").

I know, people would be planning "vacations" in their nearest pot friendly state (probably on a fairly regular basis). but this was a call to growers, not patents

The economic repercussions alone would encourage federal decriminalization..
Though I think I like the idea of having states the keep marijuana criminalized (that why you know where to tell people to go when they start complaining about pot)

Ideally we could just abolish every federal law that doses not deal directly with how the government is to be run and allow the local community dictate the laws that affect them..

While I dont disagree with you, I still think it would be a stronger and better argument to move to states that dont allow any forms of cannabis. Rather than have to make US citizens operate on the shady side of things to chase out foreign influence, it would be better to have a majority of the country want to allow the usage of cannabis, and (as is shown from current states with cannabis allowance) the consumers will naturally purchase US-Grown, causing the black market the foreign influences need to survive to disappear.

I agree completely... I just believe that positive change in government is harder to obtain than tolerance of an otherwise beneficial activity.. though the latter might encourage the prior.. (you could always consider it a form of protest).

Maybe its just a governments job to maintain an air of repression to keep the concepts of order and consequence viable and afford people a sense of freedom when they "get away with it" so to speak... Otherwise there is no telling what we would try to get away with if we truly thought we were free..
