Everybody suffers from self hate. Maybe pot can help folks to gain insight and relief from a needless disease.

Look on Craigslist in services for a Dr. who is willing to write you RX for weed. Tell Doc, who you are paying $150 cash to for a 5-minute consult, that you have chronic back pain, migraines, or are unable to sleep well.

Dr. writes you a scrip and off you go.

California has some ridiculously lax laws and the local forces do not care - only the Feds care.

Just attend a few workpshops at the local "how to grow & get high" weed university in downtown Oakland and you too will know how to harvest from this cash crop.

You must have no insight into yourself at all. Anybody who does knows that the more aware one is of ones true condition the less one is subject to it. It is consciousness that frees. But, like I said, a prisoner in an invisible jail knows nothing of his bars.

It is you who have the sever affliction because you are totally blind to it.

That's his problem, and one of many reasons he's not suited for the job. Unfortunately, no one in this country remembers anything about US civics, so they don't understand the simple division of power in our government.

please raise your hand if you feel that you are more qualified in Civics than a former president of the Harvard Law review and a U of Chicago instructor in Constitutional Law.

Could we give the guy a year instead of 2 weeks? These posts are preposterously silly.

Just had to throw that in there, but I would think the economy would require more attention now then a few Drug Raids.

Yeah, unless it's you being raided for no reason.

If I get a ticket for jaywalking, I'll be pissed because I don't believe that it should be a crime...but I still know why I got the ticket, and how to avoid it in the future.

This is as silly as the earlier "ignoring the southern border" troll.

Obama made promises for what he would accomplish during his four years in office, please show me where he promised to complete all of his work within 14 days.

He's never claimed to be the equal of James K. Polk

BO lied pot growers died.

If it's against federal law, and they had a warrant (both of which appear to be the case here), then there is a reason. It's not the job of the president to pick and choose which laws will be enforced: it is his job to enforce the laws on the books.

Apparently, Obama disagreed with you when he stated he would stop the raids.

Quote on that? CW is right, Obama can not pick and choose, it's his duty as President, as spelled out in the oath he took, to faithfully execute laws on the books as the executive branch. I acutally admire this if he sticks with it - even though I'm 100% for decriminalization of narcotics.

No arrests, but their are stealing, I mean seizing, cash and goods.

stealing? come on, unless you subscribe to a conspiracy theory they are just going to destroy the evidence after the case is closed. Anyways, I agree the raid sucks but I think people are blowing this out of proportion, if it happens again well thats something different imo.

uh, seizing the cash and goods of the providers, costs them hundreds of thousands of dollars... basically, the Fed is trying to get them to fold by making them lose money...

:laugh:

Rereading this thread, this part struck me as particularly funny.

Yeah, drugs are a real money loser. High entry costs, lots of paperwork and regulation, small customer base...explains why most dealers are flat broke all of the time.

It was very important for him to tell you how much he ignores me and how insignificant I am. Another clown whose actions show their very words to be lies and for all their transparency to others, to themselves they remain opaque.

DEA continues pot raids Obama opposes

The White House said it expects those kinds of raids to end once Mr. Obama nominates someone to take charge of DEA, which is still run by Bush administration holdovers.

?The president believes that federal resources should not be used to circumvent state laws, and as he continues to appoint senior leadership to fill out the ranks of the federal government, he expects them to review their policies with that in mind," White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said.

:thumbsup:

..that's too easy. special prosecutors, hearings, investigations and depositions are in order first.

No way. Obama had his chance to bring change. Too late now.

Kerlikowske Leaving to Serve as Obama's Drug Czar
Posted by Dominic Holden on Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 2:30 PM

Several nonprofits on the East Coast have sent me emails today rumoring that Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske is a candidate for Drug Czar. The nonprofits have asked at least a dozen people around the city how Kerlikowske has performed on drug-policy issues, apparently with the task of reporting back to someone. But they refuse to identify who?presumably, someone in the Obama Administration?the rumor has come from. The SPD would not comment on the rumor. However, as I was writing this, the Seattle Times posted an article that says Kerlikowske will leave the department for "a federal law-enforcement position in the Obama Administration." An anonymous FBI source in the article says that Kerlikowske is headed to a cabinet position?maybe the drug czar seat. Based on the murmurs I'm hearing from D.C., it seems likely he is, indeed, going to be our next drug czar.

Formally known as Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Kerlikowske would oversee federal anti-drug spending and lobby Congress to set policy. A progressive drug czar?which I think Kerlikowske would be, based on his lack of opposition to drug-policy reforms around Seattle?would support bills to allow federal funding for needle exchange, block pot raids in states with medical marijuana laws, and support anti-drug ads that make some sense; a bad drug czar would do what we've been doing for the last 20 years.

All I know is that in Seattle, during Hemp Fest, cops are standing around everywhere and as long as you don't blow it in their face they do not care. You could probably apply that to the rest of the year as well. As far as I know when Seattle voted to make pot the #1 lowest police priority, Kerlikowske complied.

And a worthless empty suit chooses never to fight a battle. Chalk up another lie by Obama. When is this man going to learn how to lead? He could end this tomorrow but he chooses not to because he is weak.

Ok, so he hasn't been in office for a month yet, but when exactly does this become a broken promise? How hard is it to make a phone call or send an email saying "stop?" As someone who believes that all federal drug laws should be removed from the books, I find these raids ridiculous.

Do you know how many lawyers will lose work if the raids stop?

Hahaha, yeah, CLEARLY the confiscation of a few commercially grown pot plants is the biggest issue facing America right now, and strong leadership in this area would be the surest way to gain the respect of the world.:laugh:
