If the feds really did target all the dispensaries in Cali, they might get a real fight this time. In the last 5 years those clubs have made enough money to make an impact. If they unify against the FEDs, they could win.Here's the latest statement from the Sacramento Bee: "U.S. attorneys will be targeting major commercial operations in California - but said not every dispensary should expect a letter from the federal government. "Our intention is not to prosecute everybody in the state," he said. "Our intention is to get people's attention in order to deter this activity."
They generated $150million dollars in state sales tax alone. That's not including corporate taxes, payroll taxes, employee income tax, etc. We are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars per year in tax revenue generated by these clubs. It's not insignificant.I'd imagine at least the bigger ones that can afford good legal help are unifying. The state itself should push back, all the tax income missed (that the state really needs) that'll be missed out on.
See dude's exhibit he's holding up? Get a good look at it. This is exactly how we are fucking up and practically begging for attention from the feds. Dumb motherfuckers shitting in their own yards.Here's the latest statement from the Sacramento Bee: "U.S. attorneys will be targeting major commercial operations in California - but said not every dispensary should expect a letter from the federal government.

It won't matter. Obama is trying to raise 1 billion dollars for his campaign. Where do you think that kind of money comes from? pharmaceutical companies, that's where. That's what this is about. Pharmaceutical companies need to see more oxy. Obama is probably promising them club busts for campaign donations. It's really the only thing that makes sense.BTW everyone need to sign this.. Our voice needs to be heard..
There's always going to be something that guy can point to in order to demonstrate that MMJ needs to go. If there is nothing in reality, he'd just make something up. Don't blame magazines or clubs. Blame the people doing this. Obama and the drug lobbyists. MMJ is cutting into their profits and they don't like it.See dude's exhibit he's holding up? Get a good look at it.

To the clubs advertising their meds as "dank" and "chronic" and "fire" in your ads in the local paper: Fuck you. To the publishers of MOTA: Fuck you. To the clubs that hand out free copies: Fuck you.
The west coast cannabis convention in SF this weekend has now been re-branded as a "jobs fair" so it doesn't get fucked with I love it. Way easier to bust a cannabis convention than a jobs fair.we should tell everyone obama is cutting a bunch of jobs. if you make it a jobs issue, not an mmj issue, we may get more traction.
