I guess I assumed everyone knew about this stuff. I live in San Francisco, where we have legalized medical marijuana clubs. In fact they are legal all over California. Every once in a while the DEA come to town and make a big show of confiscating all the mj from the clubs and shutting them down. Then they leave and the clubs are started back up again. I personally know a couple of people who have prescriptions for mj and use these clubs. One suffers from multiple sclerosis and it really helps her.
In Santa Cruz, the DEA pulled that illegal raid shit and the city of Santa Cruz filed a lawsuit against them. That happened just a few months ago. I don't know what the status of that suit is at this time.
If enough people stand up against the feds at the same time, there isn't a whole lot they can do. Lucky for us they can't be everywhere at all times to police our actions, although that may change in the next generation or two.
Organizations like the DEA have no respect whatsoever for the citizens of our country or for the laws we voted into place.
On the subject of terrorism, how many times a week since 9/11/01 have you read in the paper or seen on network news that a terrorist attack is "imminent". Do you really believe these warnings? Do you really believe that Iraq has long-range nuclear or chemical weapons capability? Do you see the connection between Russia, France, the U.S., and Iraq's oil reserves?
Do you really believe our government leaders, most of whom are multi-millionaires, really have any interest in middle and lower income citizens (i.e. the majority of the U.S.) and the daily issues they deal with? I don't believe they do. How many of them do you think really appreciate and respect the spectacular natural wonder of our continent? Apparently very few.
Back to state's rights. In the words of Bush, "While I believe there's a role for the federal government, it's not to impose its will on states and local communities." Interesting how he, in support of Daimler-Chrysler, had the California Zero Emissions act overturned this week.
I'm tired of being lied to.
