Damn.. haven't blogged since August..

Don't worry, I wasn't arrested or anything... as if that would happen to me!! I'm so careful, I'm reckless with it. Does that make sense? Eh.. whatever.. quote me on it.

The reason I haven't posted since August is because I lost faith in this movement. Although, a lot of progress was made, I look on it with a pessimistic eye; I'm just waiting for the hammer to drop. The reason is because of these politicians. Marijuana laws should never be this complex. It shouldn't take countless moratoriums and years to implement medical marijuana programs. It proves to me that there are simply too many people in the way of progress.

The problem is that the goals of medical marijuana are not difficult to implement. However, the politicians have made the laws so complex that they've become difficult to implement. In doing so, the little county politicians can play this little game of "wait til you die". On top of that, you've got the feds breathing down the necks of everyone, legal and illegal. Obama is worthless to the movement as he is worthless to a lot of other movements as well. Conservatives paying heavy lip service and Democrats not doing much different.

BLAH BLAH BLAH

The point is, this shit stinks! I don't like shit so I stay away from it. So, all I am going to say is that I, as a grower, will continue to keep things quiet on the home front. When I want marijuana, I call the dealer. Fortunately, I don't live in a medical marijuana state so I don't have to be bothered with that confusion. Beyond that, I am quite healthy so chances are I'd be stuck in the same boat anyway. In any case, don't waste time going to the doctor, entering your information into some govt database in the form of a card, and then going to some dispensary where Holder and Leonhart are sitting in an unmarked car snapping pictures of you.

Go back to the days when you could call up the dealer, get it delivered or just go meet up. I know some folks have trouble finding quality dealers too. That's when you put seeds in the ground. Go learn how to grow your own. It ain't hard to do. Remember, I've had a number of successful grows (so I say) and I'm the same guy who watched a bamboo plant wither at his hand. If I can do it, so can you!!!

But, I'm back... if only for a little while.... keep smoking folks!! I know I will!!

And, I'll be looking forward to either updating or moving this site. I don't know just yet!

Haaa, can't tax my marijuana!

Legalization/Taxation

The fight to legalize marijuana seems to be making major inroads as politicians, greedy for funds of any kind, find ways to get those tax revenues without a direct increase to the taxpayer. While there are some politicians have a more honorable reason for promoting the legalization of marijuana, there are many others who have no interest in the welfare of their own friends, family, and community; they're in it for the money.

At any rate, I could care less about their reasons for legalization. All I care about is that it get legalized.

However, what I do care about is how legalization takes place, particularly in the way of taxation, for now. I assume that quality control will be an issue in the future as I am sure companies like Altria, makers of smokable poison like Marlboro cigarettes, would find ways to weaponize marijuana as they did with tobacco.

But, I have a solution for all of that.

The problem with taxation are the high expectations for tax revenues. These politicians believe that the current pricing for marijuana will be stable. For them, that high cost equals high tax revenues. But, they don't recognize that these high costs are in part due to prohibition. Once prohibition is repealed, marijuana prices will drop considerably and those major tax revenues will drop with it.

This is why legalization is not a particularly great solution for the economy. And, here I am making that prospect even worse.

The reason I intend to make it worse is because there's a segment within the marijuana community that believe in absolutely no taxes for marijuana use. This is because they consider marijuana a medicine and you simply don't tax medicine. However, it stands in the way of legalization because it if we're to get it legalized for everybody, taxation has to be a reality.

Besides, medicinal users are already being taxed by having to pay upfront fees for licenses, doctors prescriptions, and the ability to grow if they are providers.

Side Note
I call that the Republican way to tax. See, Democrats tax you from the front so you see it coming - income tax, sales tax, etc. Republicans reduce face-front taxes. They just wait for you to turn around and bend over so they "tax" you up the behind with increased fees for anything you want to do. Democrats will rather tax your income to pay for roads. Republicans rather put tolls at every street intersection they can find. For example, in NYC, Mayor Bloomberg has sought to lower "face-front" taxes, yet proposed fees for entering the Manhattan below a certain street. Hey, you'll pay either way so just laugh about this now, think about it later.

The real issue is that medicinal marijuana users don't like the idea of being taxed at the rates proposed under complete legalization. It truly is their medicine and they shouldn't be taxed for it. And, let's be honest, those rates are incredibly ridiculous no matter who's paying. Not even alcohol or tobacco are taxed as heavily as what's proposed for marijuana. So, I don't blame people for getting upset.

Proposal

As a consumer, I propose that, under legalized and severely overtaxed marijuana, users, for whatever purpose, do not buy any marijuana until competition increases supply causing prices to come down and the tax rates are reasonable, at least within comparable levels with alcohol and tobacco.

The question at this point is how can this be done.

First of all, the politicians will do most of the work for this effort to be a success. By promoting prohibition level pricing, even after the repeal of prohibition, it wouldn't make sense for a marijuana grower to sell his product at wholesale prices when he can still operate and compete as though prohibition still exists. In fact, it can be considered as prohibition-plus since taxes are going to be a major factor. As a consumer, it would make sense to simply go directly to the grower and avoid any taxation whatsoever.

Side Note
While this may not be desirable, the politicians will have to learn a hard lesson here. It's not a lesson that wasn't already anticipated in history. During the repeal of alcohol prohibition, politicians, then, knew that the legal market would have to price-compete with the illegal market. Otherwise, it would be impossible to regulate and collect taxes. If today's politicians are too stupid to anticipate such competition and too arrogant to listen to the people, then they deserve to look like fools when their ridiculous taxation scheme doesn't produce the kind of tax revenues expected.

The second and most favorable method is self-reliance - grow your own marijuana. I am always promoting growing your own marijuana for personal use, so nothing new here. If marijuana is legal, who's going to come looking for you if you're growing a few ounces. Even though that marijuana is illegal, it's still safer because you completely remove yourself from law enforcement radar. You're not a Mexican drug cartel. You're not out trafficking bricks of marijuana. And, you're not out dealing on the streets. The only problems you may have is if smell gives you away or someone you tell decides to snitch on you. So, limit your exposure by investing in heavy odor control and not telling anyone.

Final Side Note
Personally, the only reason I would ever get caught is because of this blog or perhaps the few people that know about me. And, I know what I am doing by exposing myself. But, if I can motivate more people to grow their own, I can help limit the violence injected into the lives of peaceful people by careless drug dealers and aggressive law enforcement as well as reduce the profits of violent drug cartels that most law enforcement protect with their support of prohibition. It's worth it if I can save another life.

Marijuana: Legalization vs Prohibition and Children

Children as a tool for prohibition

One thing that prohibitionists use to keep marijuana illegal is the fear that legalization will be a danger to children. Children seems to be the door into the heart of a parent. Prohibitionists lie about marijuana's use, effects, and its users. One on side, you have the local, state, and federal authorities who get people to believe that marijuana users are dangerous. On the other side, you have organizations who want you to believe that potheads are lazy, unemployed, losers. In both of these ways, they strike fear into parents about what their children will become if they started using marijuana.

What mother wants to hear that her child will become from raving maniac after using marijuana? What father wants to hear that his son might end up lazy and worthless in the home after trying marijuana? If you're a parent that doesn't know anything about marijuana, you'd play it on the safe side doing what you can to keep your children from using marijuana. It makes sense to me. I'd do the same thing if I were walking in their shoes.

But, the difference between myself and these parents is that I know all about marijuana. I know the good and I know the bad. Although this is not about the safety of marijuana, I'd be foolish to not at least mention this once: Marijuana is safe! The point of this is to present the argument to a parent who believes that marijuana is dangerous.

I prefer to compare prohibition to legalization as it pertains to the safety of children.

Prohibition vs Legalization

We know what prohibition brings us. We're living it. Every year, billions of tax payer funds are spent fighting this war on drugs. Millions of marijuana plants are eradicated every harvest season. Hundreds of thousands of people are arrested and/or incarcerated for anything from a joint to pounds of marijuana. Hundreds of indoor grow ops are torn apart.

That all sounds good. If you pay attention to what law enforcement is doing, you'd feel they were doing a lot. But, how does this all factor into the protection of your children?

Well, if it's fair, we can say that the amount of marijuana that gets into the United States is directly related to the ease of access by your children. The more marijuana in the US, the more available it will be in your area. To get a good idea of how much marijuana gets into the US, we have to look at what law enforcement's eradication efforts really mean as a total of all marijuana. In other words, how much does law enforcement shave off of the total supply? The answer - law enforcement's eradication efforts account for only 5-10% of all the marijuana that gets into the nation. In other words, the remaining inventory of marijuana in the US is about 90% and higher. That means your children have a much better chance of finding marijuana than law enforcement is admitting. The point is that marijuana is free flowing and freely available in the United States.

Anecdotes
The first time I ever tried marijuana was when I was 14. I didn't get high so I didn't think about it again. The next time I smoked marijuana was when I was 16. I got very high but it wasn't something that would stay with me. My friend got that marijuana from a dealer both times. I didn't smoke again until I was 23.

I am now 30 years old. About 3 weeks ago, I was on Flatbush Ave. in Brooklyn, NY. I went into the store with friends to buy cigars (used for rolling marijuana blunts) and the clerk asked me for ID. I found it hilarious. I hadn't been carded in a long time. My friends told me that I still have a baby face. It reminds me of times when I go into ask for an alcoholic drink in a restaurant and the server asks for my ID. They ask for IDs in clubs, bars, and lounges. If it's got an age requirement, they want to see ID.

If you're a parent, like my own parents, my friends' parents and some of my friends now, you know you can not be there all of the time. The best you can do is teach your children right from wrong and hope they don't get into any trouble. But, they do. You were once a child, as I was, and the one thing we did was get into trouble.

The question that I have for parents: When your children are introduced to marijuana, do you want it to be from a dealer on the street or store clerk that will ask for ID?

Think about it.

How many children have you seen walk into a liquor store? Even in regular grocery stores, what are the chances that a baby-faced kid can walk out with a bottle of beer or a pack of cigarettes?

Under legalization, regulation is necessary. That means, the same controls in place for adult items - tobacco, alcohol, pornography - is the same controls that would be placed on marijuana. Chances are it would be sold alongside tobacco products in a tobacco shop. Maybe, marijuana would be sold in grocery stores. The common thread here is that all these locations offer control, more control than what is offered by a dealer on the corner.

Prohibition won't protect your children

Prohibitionists claim that marijuana is dangerous to children. How can they advocate for a system that gives control of such a dangerous substance to criminals? How can they claim that they want to protect children while promoting a black market that don't have a reason to care about children?

You can believe that marijuana is the most dangerous substance in the world. It doesn't matter how you feel about marijuana. What matters is that we protect children. Prohibition didn't protect me then, it doesn't protect your children now, and it won't protect your children tomorrow.

Dumb Cops, Ignorant Media Exaggerate Marijuana Value.. AGAIN

Did you guys think I was lying about dumb ass cops and the media that help them spread their garbage in my last post?

Read: Marijuana, the New Gold Rush

Here's another one to sink your teeth into. Let's go...

Marijuana operations shut down

It seems cops in Texas have found the ultimate marijuana grow operation in the world to date. Even I've never heard of marijuana grown this way. You won't believe what the cops said..

"Plants grown this way shoot up rapidly and produce plants free of stems and seeds. The dried leaves produce a high dollar drug. "Street value would be around $6,000 an ounce," explained Kerss, who also invited in the DEA and Texas Rangers into the investigation."

Well, slap my ass and call me Susan.

I'll be damned if the idiots actually found a marijuana plant with NO FUCKING STEMS. And, if you think that's a misquote or typo, the cops continue to say that it will be worth "$6,000 an ounce". Yeah folks - leaves, roots, and no stems. Technically, they didn't say anything about roots or even buds. It's no wonder this marijuana has a street value of 6,000 per ounce. It doesn't have any damn stems. The THC level must be around 200% too.

INCREDIBLE.

And, your tax money was spent saving us from whom?

"So far, deputies have charged Charles Thomas Smith, Timothy Gillispie,63 and Daniel Poirier,54 all of Nacogdoches County with engaging in organized criminal activity."

Yeah folks, the DEA and Texas Rangers were called into this "amazing" haul by the local idiots to save the American people from 3 senior citizens! Ok, I'll be fair to the local, state, and federal authorities here - 2 senior citizens and 1 almost senior citizen. I wonder if that makes the "authorities" feel better about what they're doing with their lives.

And, what exactly did they find at this amazing marijuana grow operation?

"The alleged growers of marijuana were into hydroponics. Only one lush marijuana plant was found."

HA.. HA.. wait, I can't breath.. AAAAHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAA. THAT'S IT?!? ONE PLANT.

How many cops from how many different agencies spent how much tax payer money for ONE plant?

Well, to be fair, it was quite a nice operation they had going on from the video - very well kept home and property, top notch equipment, and a nice hydroponic setup. I see the grow lights, the mother room.. shit.. they even had the meters to keep track of pH and ppms and so on. By the quick look at the nutrients, it seems they were growing organic.

The good thing about organic growers is that they are naturalists for the most part. They won't use unnecessary or unnatural products. They won't give you anything that they won't use themselves. It was a high quality operation, very clean.

When marijuana is legalized, I hope these guys get out and start up their farm again. It was impressive. It's the kind of the model that indoor commercial growers should probably follow. We need more growers like that supplying the consumers.

Til then folks, GROW YOUR OWN.

On another note, I don't think I can just leave this without giving some honorable mention to the idiotic media, KTRE and, the author of this stupidity, Donna McCollum. Without their propagation of infinite stupidity and lack of journalistic integrity, people are lead to believe that marijuana can possibly bring them $6,000 an ounce. I don't think anyone is stupid enough to believe that marijuana can grow without stems... WAIT.. Donna McCollum and KTRE was stupid enough to run that line in this fairytale.

$6,000 an ounce... aaaahhhh hahahahahaha.. SO STUPID.

Legalization could prevent a 4yo boy from sharing cocaine

I just read an article on ABC News and I had to put some education to it.

NJ Police: Dad Tells 4-Year-Old Cocaine Is Candy
New Jersey police say a 4-year-old boy shared cocaine with his friends at day care because his father told him it was candy.

Personally, the only "drug" I care about legalizing is marijuana. It's a plant, not a man-made chemical. But, I would be a careless fool if I didn't admit the benefits to legalizing all drugs.

Prohibition was always a bad idea. We learned that lesson during the prohibition of alcohol. Prohibition-inspired wars between gangsters like Al Capone and law enforcement like Elliot Ness left only dead bodies and crying widows. Even then, people continued drinking alcohol as they pleased. Prohibition didn't work and it wasn't worth another life.

With the legalization of alcohol, came regulation and taxation. Alcohol was no longer under control of the gangsters like Al Capone but instead behind the counter tops of liquor stores where harmful substances could be controlled, kept out of the hands of children.

Instead of learning those simple lessons, the US followed alcohol prohibition with marijuana prohibition and subsequently a total prohibition on anything considered a drug. Go figure.

While there exist Al Capones of the illegal drug market today, guys like Shaheed Wright exist as well. Shaheed Wright is a drug dealer, dealing cocaine and probably other drugs as well. He is also the father that told his own 4yo son that cocaine was candy as he sent him off to school with baggies of cocaine in his pocket.

The problem with these small time drug dealers is that they control the drug market and they decide who gets drugs. Where alcohol, and even tobacco, were taken out of the hands of people like Shaheed Wright and Al Capone, prohibitionists have given these people the job of gatekeeper of powerful substances. With no regulation, who's going to tell Shaheed Wright to whom he can distribute his product? No one!

Granted, it was an unfortunate situation that lead up to the boy getting the cocaine, we can not absolve prohibitionists for placing the responsibility of cocaine in the hands of irresponsible people like Shaheed Wright. Why aren't we treating these drugs like alcohol and tobacco? Why are they so easy to obtain?

I ask this simple question to those that believe prohibition is the way to go:

How often does a 4yo boy end up sharing alcohol or tobacco with friends at school?

And, if you need help realizing why prohibition is a failure, read this article:
Former U.S. anti-drug official's arrest 'a complete shock'
As a high-ranking U.S. anti-drug official, Richard Padilla Cramer held front-line posts in the war on Mexico's murderous cartels. He led an office of two dozen agents in Arizona and was the attache for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Guadalajara. While in Mexico, however, Cramer also served as a secret ally of drug lords, according to federal investigators.

If you think individuals like Richard Cramer are a rarity, ask yourself why, with billions of dollars going to eradicate drugs, local/state/federal authorities can only catch 5-10% of the TOTAL drugs that get into the US. Planes, trains, boats, trucks - Richard Cramer isn't the only weak link in the chain.

Have Boston Potheads Gone Wild or Are Cops Full of Crap?

Earlier today...

I read this article, Pot law leaves cops high & dry, at the Boston Herald website. I had to admit that it sent a chill up my spine in a good way. At first I thought, finally, we're seeing marijuana smokers light up like they would any typical tobacco user - no violence, no killing, no nonsense, no arrests.

But, the article began to sink in.

It was written from the point of view of Boston police - not exactly a group noted for being honest especially when it comes to marijuana users. Although the main point of the article speaks to the law specifically, there are some "stories" within it that I find are complete nonsense.

In short, the article is about the current marijuana laws on the books in Massachusetts. They bring the "crime" of smoking marijuana down from a sick-and-twisted arrestable "offense" to a near-common sense minor misdemeanor. The police complained from the first day that they wouldn't be able to enforce the law as it is on the books.

If caught smoking marijuana in public, you get a $100 fine. You don't even have to give your name so the citations aren't even enforceable, as I understand it. So, the current statistics reflect exactly that concern.

"...83 percent of 415 tokers cited in Boston since the law took effect in January have refused to pony up the $100, a Herald review shows."

I can believe that. But, it's not the statistics that bother me at all. Honestly and obviously, I believe marijuana should be legal and taxed, not illegal and fined. So, that result, in my view, upsets me only because 17% of the people actually bothered to pay this twisted fine.

What bothers me are the anecdotes of police encounters which is obviously full of pure unadulterated lies. I'll break em all down so we can see the sensationalism and outright arrogance of stupidity of the Boston Police Department.

#LiesCopsTell

• In Arlington, a public works employee was cited by the local police chief for smoking a pot pipe as he stood next to his town-issued tractor.
  

  When you read this, you're to think: "Oh no! You shouldn't be operating that tractor - paid for by tax payers - while you're high on marijuana!" And, we can't know if this is true or not because the cops couldn't get his info. However, they knew he was a "public works employee" standing next to a "town-issued tractor". I guess his employers can't do anything to stop him all because the cops can't enforce a citation. Give us all a break!

• At bustling Park Street Station, a pair of nonchalant lovers out on the town openly lit up a joint and continued toking even after confronted by off-duty Milton Chief Richard Wells.
  

  I love this one just for the "nonchalant lovers" part. Makes me think of good ol' Harry Anslinger when he said, "This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others." What were they doing to make them nonchalant lovers? Smoking marijuana? I find it kind of hard to nonchalantly love a woman with a joint in my mouth. It kinda gets in the way of the whole nonchalant loving part, don't you think?

• In East Boston, four teens spotted in a “smoke-filled vehicle” unabashedly told a cop they were “just smoking marijuana.”
  

  This lie is hilarious just because they used the word unabashedly. They must have dug deep in the thesaurus for that one. Nevermind the potential DUI situation. I guess the police couldn't address it without giving a citation.

• A man caught near a Dorchester playground laughed when police said he faced a $100 fine - and then taunted the cops with an expletive-laced tirade.
  

  This is my favorite lie, yet! It's similar to the whole tractor crap above. You're made to think: "Oh no! They're smoking in the playground where our children play!" And, to make matters worse, he taunts the police with an "expletive-laced tirade". So, he's not just a pothead at a playground around children, he's a violent pothead at a playground around children. HILARIOUS!

Boston Potheads Haven't Gone Wild

Granted some people are quite uncouth. Arrogance, entitlement, privilege all drive folks to do things that are generally pretty stupid and uncalled for. Most police know exactly what I am talking about as they are guilty of it most of the time. The worst of stories I've heard is where people are generally rude to others that don't smoke much like tobacco smokers do regularly. It's my only pet peeve. Ask those around you that may be affected before you light up. It's called courtesy and respect.

But potheads in general are quite courteous, at least the ones I've met. And, I highly doubt Boston potheads would be as stupid or arrogant as Boston police would have us believe. The cops want their revenue stream back. They want to be able to arrest potheads so they come up with this sensationalist nonsense about marijuana smokers. I don't believe and I'll be on Boston soon enough to see for myself.

At the end of the day, Boston police are just trying to save their jobs. Without the ability to arrest marijuana smokers, the city will find that Boston police are generally ineffective and crime along with the cost of enforcing the old laws will fall dramatically - lower jail costs, court costs, and no more cops padding their pockets with overtime pay by spending hours long after their shift is over tending to potheads. The people of Boston win more than they realize.

The next step for Massachusetts is to eliminate the jobs of police isntead of teachers and counselors. They had the courage to pass this law. I hope they have the courage to address the state's police burden.

Prohibitionist Idiot #003: Manic Politicians

Some of the most dangerous prohibitionist idiots lurk in the worst possible positions in society - government. Politicians from your local assemblyman/woman/person to the President of the United States shape public policy. Creating marijuana prohibition is possibly the most damaging public policy to any society. Who do we have to thank for such societal turmoil? Simple answer: manic politicians.

Case: US Representative Mark Kirk [via NORML via Chicago Tribune]

Are you serious Rep Kirk? We're approaching some level of common sense on the use of medical marijuana and you come up with this sick and twisted policy. This is monstrous and destructive to American citizens on so many levels.

He is obviously ignorant of just about everything that has to do with marijuana. On top of that he has absolutely no regard for how such a policy will affect society. And to make matters worse, of course, he's supported by a bunch of dumb cops. Go figure!

Well, I'd like to destroy some myths that this arrogant and ignorant policy is based on.

1. Marijuana, and the THC that comes with it, is nontoxic and not dangerous.
2. The higher the THC content, the less the user will need - recreational or medicinal.

If marijuana, and THC, is nontoxic, then the dangers implied with high THC is moot - irrelevant, insignificant, obsolete! Besides the fact that marijuana does not have to be smoked (can be vaporized or cooked), having higher THC will allow smoker to use less reducing smoke inhalation completely.

On another note, this policy is akin to the crack vs cocaine sentencing or New York's Rockefeller Drug laws. Whereas Rockefeller's Drug laws disproportionately affected Black people in New York City, Rep. Kirk's proposal will affect mainly White suburban areas. I hope you don't think the brothas in the hood are growing that good shit in the projects.

Simply put.. IT'S IDIOTIC, just plain idiotic.

Prohibitionist Idiot #002: Lies Cops Tell

Intro

In Prohibitionist Idiot #001, I profiled a common everyday idiot of the next door variety. Let's take a look at some prohibitionist idiots that somehow get more attention than they deserve - the local police.

It amazes me how police officers get so much media attention. They are possibly some of the dumbest "professionals" one would ever meet. Think about it. You take some D-student/sports reject from high school, give them a badge and a gun, and all of a sudden, they're experts on marijuana and the black market economy.

What are we talking about?

I am talking about whenever there is news about a marijuana bust, some prohibitionist idiot kop (slang for dirty cop) decides to apply a monetary value to that marijuana that is completely outrageous.

For example via WSBTV.com:

The Story

First, let's just go over the story. "Police" find 200 marijuana plants. They tell the media that the bust is worth $3,000,000, that is, three million dollars. That's $15,000 per plant.

Dumbass Police Lies

I ask this simple question: When did these police officers ever get the education to come up with that figure? What secondary learning institutions did they attend that gives them the expertise to decide the worth of a marijuana plant? NONE! It's bullshit... another prohibitionist idiot lie.

The True Price of Marijuana

As a marijuana grower with a business degree, I can say without hesitation, there is absolutely no way in hell that one plant, grown indoors, will ever be worth $15,000, today. Even in these tough economic times, it would still take centuries of inflation for one marijuana plant to be worth $15,0000.

An ounce of the highest quality marijuana may sell at it's very highest price $600 (real market price is around $400). There are 16 ounces in a pound. At non-wholesale prices, a pound of marijuana can sell for $9,600. At wholesale prices, a pound of the highest quality marijuana will sell for around $5,000 to $6,000.

When growing marijuana, the measurement of success is how much weight you can get per 1,000 watt, or 1 kilowatt, light, not per plant. The magic number that every grower tries to obtain is TWO pounds per light. Typically speaking, even some of the best growers will only reach about ONE pound per light. You can fit between 12 and 16 plants per kilowatt light. (I'll speak more about why this is in another blog post)

Keep in mind, we're talking about indoor conditions. If we do our math correctly, the true worth of marijuana per plant, in the most optimal conditions is around $400 to $600. This 200 plant grow is not worth anymore than - at it's highest and most optimal - around $100,000, not $3 million.

Who are you going to believe - a dumb ass cop with a failed education

or a marijuana grower who has an actual business degree (education)?

Prohibitionist Idiot #001

Intro

I've decided to start this blog series because I find so many completely stupid, ignorant, and or ugly comments from prohibitionist. Their arguments are usually wrong and based on complete lies or totally made up. I display these comments from prohibitionist idiots for two reasons: Laughter and Perspective. When it's some low-level idiot, it's best to just laugh at them and have fun at their expense. When it's a high-level idiot, we should be concerned because they give ammo to other idiots who don't know any better.

Laughter & Perspective

Some people know that they're lying but they continue to lie because it's all they have left. A good example of this is John P. Walters, the former drug czar who continues to lie about marijuana. He should have retired and just left things alone. But, he fights this crusade to justify his years of harm against American citizens.

Some people are just ignorant. The only thing wrong with ignorance is when people don't want to cure it. You cure ignorance by getting the truth. However, there are people out there who aren't interested in the truth about anything. They are stupid. An example of a stupid person is the pastor of a church who insists that marijuana is bad. What "knowledge" do they have? None, outside of the twisted and perverted interpretations of the Bible.
Some people are just plain dumb. Their arguments aren't based on anything real whatsoever. Their logic is completely flawed. They come to conclusions about marijuana out of thin air, literally. Since this is the first installment of Prohibitionist Idiots, I've got a great example for you!

Prohibitionist Idiot #001

This prohibitionist idiot has been found via a Huffington Post article: Drug Czar's Pot-Potency Claims Go Up In Smoke. Check it out:

The initial comment is simply comparing the addiction potential between alcohol and marijuana. The person, Woodcut, seems to be someone who understands addiction because he admits to his own 15-year long alcoholism. I would go so far as to consider him an authority on addiction. This is someone you can take their word over others. He also uses marijuana which is not addictive. His comparison would have any intelligent individual conclude that alcohol, a freely available substance, is more addictive than marijuana.

What's so hard to understand about that?

Obviously, it's difficult for the prohibitionist idiot. Our PI of the moment, SharonWantsToTalk, has tried to imply that because the person knows how much marijuana he has and he knows the California law, he must be addicted. This is how this person has chosen to counter the addiction argument.

How does one extrapolate such a conclusion with such non-evidence? According to her "logic", licensed drivers are all addicted to driving because they keep track of their fuel, antifreeze, and oil levels and know what to do when they approach a red octagon with the word "STOP" in white lettering. I wonder if they have support groups for those addicted to responsible driving.

HEY PROHIBITIONIST IDIOT!
IT'S CALLED TAKING INVENTORY AND KNOWING THE LAW!

EVERYONE DOES IT, INCLUDING YOU,
EVEN IF YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO REALIZE THAT!

If you want to know the truth about marijuana addiction, it's simple.

Marijuana is NOT addictive.
