John Lovell has it right - the city just wants everyone high. It'll be much easier to herd the cattle when their brains are baked.

Typical stupid response.
Why not just let them grow it and sell it themselves to eliminate their poverty?
Oh, right. Then they wouldn't be a justification for all the other stupid things that Berkeley government forces on the people in the name of common good,

I hope you all have notice they have found Pot does have medical uses in many more health problem then they knew. And can be grown cheaper then Major Corp. can make their medical pills. All so their fear of Pot has kept Hemp from being grown which can not be smoke but make into useful products like rope. Before WWII it was used in many products.

No, I do not smoke it.

I've got a good idea - let's solidify our power over people by drugging them stupid and taxing everyone else! [/sarcasm]

[shakes head in disbelief]

They should put a wall around Berkeley With a huge sign at the entrance: BERKELEY Home Of The Idiotically Insane. Enter at your own risk.

It starts in Bezerkley, then migrates to other environs, somewhere like the People's Republic of Boulder or the Republic of Santa Fe or some other liberal bastion. I used to live in the Land of Fruits and Nuts, specifically in Berkeley and it was always the at the vanguard of liberalism. Soon followed by Boulder, the home of CU and yuppies everywhere, very liberal and now Colorado has recreational MJ. So more incentive there. Santa Fe is a mini Boulder or Berkeley, very liberal in a conservative state, very cliqueish.

Oh, that's a rich story, isn't it? First you have the looters. They mandate, force successful producers to give. You have this leftist idea that the masses should be drugged. You know that 1/4 of all women in the U.S. are on Prozac or related drug now? Most don't know that. With men it's 1/10. There are so many nice facets here. It's all right out of the playbook. I don't touch the evil weed but I can't deny the wealth it is created here in Norcal. It seems that the wealthiest business owners are in that industry now. Frankly, though, I think it's just a matter of time before the Feds crack down on the whole scene and give a lot of these business owners the perp walk.

So now the price will go up and fewer "sick" people will buy it. That means less available to the poor and the middle income folks. Sounds fair.

incredible LUNACY, but what else can you expect from the law(?) makers in California. land of the loony.

Whoever decided this must be suffering from glaucoma.

Mimi was dreaming for 10 seconds about n zealand being a possible gulch. Sorry, but in this thread of Rocky MP's, auckland city is going to trial paying women $120 ( a month i think) to not smoke cigarettes.
Whoops no that would be the rate-payers paying.
Whoops again- nope you have to give up smokes, not be a nonsmoker. And not have colonial ancestory.
Ah well i am back to earning my money, on all counts.

Btw Mimi our birds do fly.
Only a handful of native bird species do not fly. This country loves visitors, but resents immigrants in my view.

32,000 is a lot of money. Can't they afford their own dope?
