You two are both idiots, though I see that the one idiot either didn’t read or didn’t understand what the other idiot actually wrote before replying, though it is also garbage.

And it’s not an “old saying”. It’s a quote from Ghandi. You’re a dunce.

Oh right, occupy Oakland kept spouting that one last year. It’s going great for them, too.

I support legalizing marijuana for medical purposes, but honestly, Oakland is the last place on earth that should be doing this. Oakland can’t keep track of programs that are federally legal, and the pot business is so sketchy here it’s just as well if it ends. Literally anyone can get a weed card for $100 with the flimsiest diagnosis (insomnia?), and they do share with their friends. I have a legal scrip for ritalin, and if I start passing them out, I rightfully get into big trouble, as does my doctor. Oaksterdam is pocket lining bs.

I hate it when ignorant authorities lump cannabis in with crap like cocaine and heroin.

Those two are derived from plants, but in that laboratory form have been made into something deadly.

Coca and opium have been used for centuries. Run that junk through a lab, make it stronger, it becomes dangerous.

Yet cannabis, that noble weed, needs no such enhancements. It helps depression, appetite, insomnia and other ailments just as god made it.

Cannabis should not be considered under the same category as lab-produced drugs.

Dear Debbi,

Hi, we represent Big Pharma. You are not being a Good American Consumer by relying on a plant that can be grown by just about anyone instead of our heavily researched, deeply overpriced lab-created drugs.

We want your money! Drop the bong and step away from the baggie…

There was a drug war conference in South America a couple of months ago. The conference placed the blame for the drug war squarely on the shoulders of the American citizen and they pointed to places like Oaksterdam University to illustrate how lax the drug laws are enforced by the Federal Government. Apparently the notion of states rights is a non issue in South America.

What’s that old saying? First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. Hang in there, guys.

I don’t live in CA nor do I live in a state that has approved medical marijuana, but I am disturbed by these raids. Obama had said he wasn’t going to pursue medical marijuana and he would leave it up to the states to decide, this was in fact a lie. I was planning on voting for Obama this election, however as we have all witnessed Obama’s agenda change, my vote has changed as well.

I am a medical marijuana patient, and I think if the feds would stick to taking care of our president and his secret service mess and leave us otherwise “law-abiding” people alone the world would be a better place. I mean really, the secret service won’t even pay their hookers full price… how illegal and immoral on so many levels is that?
