True Price of Medical POT

Again, we see the real cost of so-called medical marijuana. "Medical marijuana" is supposed to help sick people, people with medical problems and no doubt it does. But, at what cost. Everyone that uses medical marijuana is endebted to these dead people. This is what happens when, for whatever altruistic reasons, people ignore or try to circumvent or get around the legal, legitimate existence of another or their handywork. It's also what happens when people are irresponsible and refuse or fail to deal with serious, potentially life-threatening issues.

The local impotent hypocrits worry about how much legalizing marijuana is going to cost them. So, they waffle around and try to formulate strategies. Well, take a good hard look. The cost is in lives, not dollars.

Read this article and tell me that medical marijuana doesn't bring crime into the community -- crime that threatens everyone. How can anyone aford to allow dispensaries or anything else related to marijuana as long as it illegal?

The Times-Standard's North Coast & State section for Saturday, June 26, 2010, the article from the Associated Press: L.A. Police investigate marijuana dispensary killings. Online, Fox News has this: Los Angeles police probe fatal shootings at 2 medical marijuana dispensaries. 

Marijuana dispensaries handle large amounts of money, which could make them targets for robbers.

Crime was among the concerns that prompted the City Council to crack down on pot dispensaries, which have flourished since California voters legalized use of marijuana for medical reasons in 1996.

The medical marijuana initiative did not address actual sales of the drug, and communities up and down the state have struggled to craft laws. Some have outright banned pot clinics, which call themselves collectives and supposedly only sell to members with medical problems.

If you like the Nanny State solution to these kinds of problems, the don't bitch about the consequences.

Nanny State Future

Noam Chomsky: "The Center Cannot Hold: Rekindling the Radical Imagination"


Is the “Tea Party Movement” slated for greatness? If you think they're just a “flash in the pan” you might want to read what Noam Chomsky says about what is happening in America. More and more the lines between corporate America and the working poor are being drawn tighter and tighter. Obama's message of “hope” is shown more and more a joke on everyone that voted for him. Freedom-loving American voters believe they have some say in their government. Obama has shown everyone that they do not. Government betrayal of their people is universal. “Radical Imagination” is something nearly beyond reach for most of humanity. For the people to practice actual democracy would require taking responsibility for their actions and then standing accountable what they do or do not do. Continuing to cooperate with these criminals by voting in one corrupt politician year after year rank stupidity or deliberate criminal complicity. As the people start to move so do the thugs that protect and defend the multinationals, the financial conglomerates and their Washington cohorts. Who wins? Who loses? If history has anything to say about it, our future as a free people looks extremely bleak.
