Great Article! I feel the rage through sarcasm approach. This will be quite a blow to our community. As pointed out in this article, it will be short lived, and lead to greater freedoms.RECALL TRUTANBITCH, COOLEY, REYES, ZINE, and all others that vote for this insane measure.

Valid medicinal value, it’s a victimless crime, the War on Drugs WAY too costly, too many arrests for simple possession, tax it and use the money to pay for health insurance and to reduce the deficit…Need I say more?

Woodstock Universe supports legalization of Marijuana for a number of reasons. Check them out and vote in our poll “Should marijuana be legalized?” at http://woodstockuniverse.com

Current poll results: 96% for legalization and 4% opposed…add your vote. Poll runs through October.

Peace, love, music, one world,

Has someone reviewed their financials and decided that they aren’t following the guidelines for non-profits? People can make money (ie:salaries, bonuses, even housing) and still qualify as non-profit. It’s the manner of the financial trails and bookkeeping for the most part.

A lavish office, housing owned by the non-profit, salaries paid, employees being assigned company owned vehicles. It can all happen and the company still be a fully accounted for non-profit.

The more prohibitions there are, the more ritual avoidance,
The poorer the people will be…
The more laws are promulgated,
The more thieves and bandits there will be.
Therefore the safe has said:
So long as I “do nothing” the people will of themselves be transformed.

I sure am glad that Los Angeles County has no problem with unsolved murders, rapes, assault, battery, theft, fraud, arson etc.

Every single one of those crimes has an identifiable victim, someone who is harmed.

It would be silly persecute peaceful adult cannabis smokers when the purpose of law enforcement is to protect citizens from criminals, so they don’t get harmed against their consent.

How do they get there numbers? 56% Only? I am willing to bet its way higher than that. I didn’t vote…This is a stupid example but if you look at some of the Facebook polls that ask the questions, should we legalize marijuana they are all at 75% and higher that say ‘yes’. Yes some are young but there is a lot of voters also. Also just means the younger generation could be wising themselves up on the issue.
