WHAT’S WRONG WITH BEING ‘19’

Temecula, CA – Prop 19 is a cart full of voters that is being pulled by a donkey that has a green carrot suspended in front of his face drawing him forward. Spreading the word about this bogus bill, this Trojan horse, is a daunting task. It is a day of fooling the elect, if that were possible, but certainly the official marijuana organizations have been caught up in the seduction. Imagine signing your soul over to the devil so you could have sex. But wait you say, you already can make love? Exactly! Prop 19 is a disguised step backward cleverly crafted by a master entrepreneur named Richard Lee.

Before we look at what’s wrong with Prop 19, let’s look at the big picture. The big picture for marijuana is about recognizing the properties of the plant and utilizing those properties to help save the planet. That’s the Tesla way. The people behind Prop 19, the money people, seek to be able to genetically modify cannabis so as to virtually own the plant. At that time, when the maximum profit structure is in place, then the plant benefits will be mined. The Prop 19 way is the Thomas Edison way. If those references are unknown, please do the research. It will be worth it.

The monumental benefits of using hemp are 90% non-drug related but this bill is all about recreational drug use only! Prop 19 does not address the issue of reclassification or rescheduling, both of which are needed to be able to have a defense in a federal case. The marijuana activist movement was NEVER about the fight to be able to smoke pot. It was always about the wealthy industrialists that owned Congress (and still do) and how they fought and misinformed the mass marketplace about hemp. Since they could not (then) own the plant (no GM seeds), business did what they could to mimic the plant benefits through chemical compounds. Prop 19 seeks to deliver the plant’s regulation to the government, and city government to boot – that’s like going to the Pope for sex advice – but does nothing to change the plant’s status or statue. Prop 19 is a bill written by an industrialist for industrialist. It seeks to seduce the same way as the legalization of the Federal Reserve.

Let’s look at the bold areas of Prop 19:

19, if passed, takes all your rights and hands them over to your local city council. Image going to get your pot at a shop with steel bars on the windows, in a run down part of town, gunshots in the background, in a place that also sells porn because that is how the city council in your town sees all people who smoke pot. Or maybe a T-town scenario; a storefront close to or around in a vacant store by the Q-Club that dispenses/sells weed like a Bev-Mo. And how is it now as I look around? As of January 1^st, 2011, caught with an ounce or less of weed is a ticket, a c-note. When you are inside the so-called ‘drug culture’ aka the side of life that usually smokes weed, in So Cali that’s like getting a speeding ticket on the freeway. Everybody is speeding; you’re just keeping up with traffic.

Marijuana in high school is like alcohol use by teens – it’s a family issue. Single parent, two parents, it is a family issue, unfortunately. Fortunately though, through the medical side, if the teen can show he qualifies for it, said teen should be allowed to smoke weed medicinally. If the parents are open about their weed use as I’ve seen in some families, much like families where the adults don’t smoke, the kids may either smoke or not. One doesn’t guarantee the other. However, in families where the adults hide it, I think the kids usually smoke and really party. Whatever the scenario, the parents should be willing to listen and then talk openly. Of course, this is easier said than done in reality. Solving someone else’s problem is always easy.

Speaking of problems, remember the nice bud who hooks you up, smokes you out, and knows the same people as you do, would be classified as “dangerous, underground street dealers” and Prop 19 would allow for their vilification so as to ostracize them by attaching a falsified stigma. In other words, a legal way to shut out the little guy by rebranding him. Maybe by now, I hope, you are seeing the genius of this bill written by a guy who made and makes millions from the pot culture as an entrepreneur. This bill is like Satan himself wrote it. it’s easy to see how so many people are seduced into believing this is the answer. Just remember, the question has never been about smoking weed, that was just the fun icing on getting the plant utilized and rescheduled. Rescheduling would also do away with the governance problems of dealing with marijuana use and sales because it would become just another commodity, to be treated more like tobacco than alcohol.

Number 13 under ‘Purposes’ is a valid point that addresses the ‘States Rights vs. Federal Authority’. The feds’ only leg is the Controlled Substances Act. That is what must be challenged and the fed should be sued to show just cause or marijuana must be rescheduled. After that the federal government has no control over pot except the FDA, food and drug, part. Hemp used for clothes, oil, plastic, paper, biodegradable fuel would fall outside that realm. Pot to be smoked could be allowed like any other business or prosecuted like any illegal business. Which leads into another loss freedom that someone who doesn’t smoke weed would never understand.

A huge asset of having and affording marijuana is the liquidity of the product. If you buy a quarter, chances are you may resell an eighth or several grams, ‘dubs’, and offset your initial investment. This is the driving motivator in the marketplace. Prop 19 would eliminate that element and replace it with someone who may or may not be American born as your ‘dealer’. With Prop 19, every stoner becomes a consumer only, at the mercy of people like Potts, Ayres and Stubblefield, the scourge of San Jacinto. With Prop 19, you strip away all your rights with weed except for two, smoking/consumption and cultivation.

Cultivation is also limited to PER residence, not per PERSON as common sense tells you it should be. Along with that cultivation being per residence there is room for charging to authorize someone and a potential to license the residence, in other words, a potential to make more money just from the smoking of pot. With the smoking of pot bottlenecked but pot ‘being legal’ in California, companies like Monsanto can forge ahead in research by setting up in the state. Prop 19 sets in motion the apparatus to allow pot monopolies and pot kickbacks to thrive, further corrupting an already corrupt political system that ever seeks to feed its bloat with new taxes and fees. Vote NO on 19.
