Suffering

"The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops." 2 Timothy 2:6

"It wasn't long ago when I was a child
An old black man came with his mule and his plow
He broke the ground where we grew our garden
Back before we'd all forgotten
'Bout the little man
The little man. Long live the little man
God bless the little man." AJ

SAN FRANCISCO — The Oakland City Council is considering a plan to license four production facilities where medical marijuana would be grown, packaged and processed.The move would make Oakland the first city in the nation to license wholesale pot cultivation.City leaders are expected to vote Tuesday. If the measure passes, it would still need to be approved on a second, final vote.Supporters of the measure say it could generate millions of dollars for Oakland in taxes and sales, create hundreds of jobs and position Oakland to reap dividends if voters pass a November initiative to legalize recreational use of marijuana.Opponents say it would drive small growers out of business.- Huffington Post

Oh no. It Looks like the mom and pop pot shops just fell victim to the mega stores.

  1. I heard a radio discussion about California's medical marijuana stuff on the radio this morning. I think the whole medical marijuana is totally phony and they are still selling it at blackmarket prices when, according to this guy it could be $40 an oz!!!
    I don't think it has much medical value and I wish they could have just gone for some other form of legalization.
    That said. I think it is not that helpful of a substance to be involved with, and this comes from several years of field study. I think it is less harmful than drinking, which is really destructive, but has it's own very negative side effects for some people.
