3. olland Says: June 9th, 2009 at 2:33 am Rick, I noticed something very important you said in your story: “apparently there are new state attorney guidelines that dictate only non-profit medical marijuana co-ops are allowed to conduct business under state law” I live in Oregon and the laws may be a little different here than in California; but, according to my knowledge of the Oregon Medical Marijuana laws of Oregon, a grower may only charge for the medical marijuana what it costs to grow the plant; ie. electricity, water, fertilizer, soil, etc., not labor, time, or any other charge. Now, in my book that kinda means “Non-Profit”. By my excessive estimates an ounce should cost around 10-20 dollars. Not 300-400! How is a disabled person living on $900.00 a month requiring medical marijuana to offest the side-effects of their medications supposed to afford the medicine if they can’t grow it themselves and everyone supposedly growing “under the law” is overcharging and being greedy? All those people violating the law and trying to legitimize their criminal operations deserve much worse than confiscation of their materials and closing of their operations. They deserve prison. FOR A LONG TIME!!! Perhaps they should be grateful they didn’t go to prison for their crimes, eh?

There are some compassionate dispensaries who allow homeless/very ill/bed-ridden/veterans/etc. to get their medicine at a discount or, in some cases even have it donated to them free of charge. However, I honestly think that the MMJ laws in Cali need to be more clearly defined by the State. The whole Medi-green scene is a murky gray at its clearest. Nobody, on either side of the law fence seems to truly understand the whole situation. Everything’s wishy-washy. Things need to change so that it is more easily accessible (cheaper & better regulated products), and so that those who run the clubs can run them as legitimate businesses/alternative healing centers, with the potential for profit, without abusing their power by charging people an arm and a leg for the only thing that may actually help them get rid of the pain in their arms and legs. Like you said, buying from the clubs is pretty expensive, and most people that need the medicine can’t afford it. It needs to be respected and treated as the wonderful medicine that it is. I don’t think that there is anything wrong with growers/vendors/dispensaries making money, but at the same time it seems wrong to charge patients who require the Green, so much green. W/e, I know I’m rambling on about random shit that keeps popping into my head, so I’ll stop now… Hopefully the next time that I read this, it’ll still make sense to me.

Rick Says: June 14th, 2009 at 11:10 am Sure, through a series of federal laws and levels of elite influence, marijuana became illegal but the states that are pro medical marijuana have decided what the best course of action is and seem to be following the will of the people. Yet, even though the state can decide that medical marijuana is legal, a city’s local government can then decide on how it’s distributed, who distributes it etc… Local government is more powerful than federal government when it comes to YOU. Local government is often corrupt and run by lineages or a combination of lineages that have had positions of power in the city/town/village for a long time. So if organized crime is connected to these lineages or have influence on them then laws can be made to block medical marijuana. Even if marijuana was decriminalized in a state, a local government’s law enforcement could still arrest people. We already know the federal government is corrupt, but their true corruption lies deeper than what most people of this great country can even imagine. At any rate, my point is we as citizens have so much corruption to fight on any level that like a good game of RISK, we need to form your own networks of influence that then will eventually lead to greater networks of influence that can actually do something about this blatant march towards a new world order. Sure, a global government, if done right can become a Utopia…. but if done wrong and controlled by people trying to suppress certain knowledge and technology then it can become a nightmare. Those people in power, the elite, like the local governments, their lineages have long controlled our fate and have controlled our very history. Their reasons are selfish, evil and threaten anyone that doesn’t have an elite status. It’s time the truth comes out that everyone will have access to… truth that will spread like a virus. Stay Tuned true believers…
