wow. some people are either crazy,greedy or fuckin stupid. grow bigger and better trees. otherwise, like bht said, gtfo of cali an go push some coke.
I have read what was written. I have been following this thread if only for the sole purpose of reading mothersuckers posts to assure myself that at least I am a better person than him. However, I can't say that put in the same position I wouldn't be rooting for my self interests and I understand where he is coming from. Not everyone likes the winds of change especially when they make your job and life harder.
Regardless of whether he espouses the ideals that you have at least he is being honest. He is saying that he likes the system as it exists today and that he doesn't want prop 19 because it will hurt his bottom line. SCF is saying that because he is making money growing green he deserves to go to jail.
So SCF thinks it should be legal but only if people can't make money off of it? The whole medical system is predicated on growers growing more than they need and them getting reimbursed for their effort. The market ie supply and demand negotiate how much that time and effort are worth. So screw it if he is breaking the law, his breaking the law is what is supplying your medical market and every other market.
I agree with you about your gut feeling on mothersucker and SCF mothersucker's position is probably not the right one in regards to being virtuous, but not all people are good people, many are just interested in making sure they have a good life. However, SCF is saying simultaneously that it should be legal but that because mothersucker is a bad person in his view and that he doesn't give his meds away that he deserves to be in jail.
Neither parties are saints is what I am saying and furthermore I am saying that I expected more out of SCF especially in the same sentence where he mentions karma.
Edit: I am glad you understood what I was trying to point out SCF.
BigHerbTree.........You might be mistaking me for some backwards Hillbilly Stoner , but I assure you I`ve been an upstanding tax-payin citizen for 35 yrs in the real world.....
What I`ve done to break the law in my lil corner of the world was mandatory for my survival , or life without parole for cultivation would`ve made me a ward of the state 26 yrs ago.........
I live in Hell..........What ya`ll sign off on come Nov 2 will help the big boys and allow your diversification into other businesses to take care of your bottom line , but what`s it gonna do for legalization/de-criminalization across the board for all 50 states once ya`ll give up all your rights.........
Not to mention the absolute right for LEO to come get yer ass if they think you`re fukin up...........Ever had an ex-ol lady call popo on yas cuz she knows bout couple plants in the back yard?..........
I never allowed anyone to know about my shit , or where it was , but I`ve seen good folks go to prison for yrs and yrs over a few plants.........
Obviously........You give 2 shits what happens outside your lil world of diversifying and hey........I`m all bout the funtickets but...........
Remember what ya`ll vote for when it comes back and bites yas in the ass with both feet shot out from underneath yas and Dick Lee and his co-horts sell their shit to Big Pharma.......Sweet Tooth 2nd`s and better comes ta mind at yer local 7-11 ...........
Then you`ll be havin ta sell your extracts and such on the black market along with the buds , cuz Monsanto`s got a sale goin this week for 50 bucks an oz on the same shit you got for 2K per lb......SAME SHIT FOR 75 bucks less per oz than Homie`s best he can do ...........Who`s gonna pay more.............
Don`t give up without a fight for decent legislation instead of just acceptin what they sling atchas cuz you think it`s the only/best option you`ll ever get to smoke pot legally or profit as such that has happened till now.........
Politicians and Big Pharma`s laughin their ass off at how easy ya`ll gonna roll over for a lil piece of pitifulness........
If this is all about "Medical Marijuana" and healin folks , then why ya`ll rollin over like a buncha stoners come 4:20........
My 2 cents.........And before somebody comes back about me not bein from Cali...........I`ve done my research and spoken with many close old friends/growers on the left coast not happy bout this power grab , while trying to be optomistically skeptical about if it`ll ever reach my lil corner of Hell before I croak........
Peace......DHF...............
Dimebag, I understand, my only point was that mothersucker doesn't desire to be a good person and doesn't seem to fancy himself one either making him consistent. SCF seems on the other end of that spectrum yet let his anger get the best of him and showed that he isn't as good as maybe he thought he was. My point was that he was out of line and stooping to a pretty low level out of frustration.
Anyone whos ever grown a small lets say Organic Garden from start to finish. trimming, curing, and drying. Knows exactly what you are saying. No way thats easy. And those guys are risking there Asses to do this.
Like the Organization that was making Edibles for Clubs. Who got took down. I have not heard any new news about it, this was 5 to 6 years ago. ill try to find a link. And the 3rd Floor From Oakland, who was making hand over fist as being one of the only good clubs to get pm infested great genetic clones. LOL. DEA took them down fast!
So yeah, we got to thank our big growers. But there is a lot of trust going into them, not to be using bad pesticides and such to hurt patients. Its the Honesty System. God speed ahead!
I never said people shouldn't make money off it. I said they should do it in a legal form, so NO ONE GOES TO JAIL. and you no longer have to look over your shoulder.
Look if you have read my past post. You will know, im all about making a living off of Marijuana, as i have a pation for it just like everyone else here does,
But when you are using Prop 215 for your business purposes and to make a profit, you are just as much of a scum as the DEA, and the FDA.
Instead of taking the legal option, prop 19, he wants to continue to ILLEGALLY make money, as prop 215 states, that local governments and federal should try to accommodate safe and AFFORDABLE Medication.
I have no clue what Mothersucker grows, how much he sells it for or what.
But what i do know is he has attacked my Beliefs about Medical marijuana since he started posting in this thread. Which was cleaned up as you didn't get to see THOSE POST.....
And also i am entitled to my opinion no matter what.
And dont deserve to be called something i am far from, because i promise you, i have spoken to more political officials in the last week, than mothersucker who cant even post under his own identity has his whole life.
Why hide behind something that should be legal. Why not pay our taxes and stand proud of who we are. We are not drug dealers or addicts.
We are Marijuana users and activist, and growers...
Why wouldn't we want to make HEMP legal as a industry?
Why wouldn't we want to make Marijuana legal to grow Industrial?
Why wouldn't we want to make it 100 percent legal so you no longer have to hide your tail in between your legs?
See where im getting at this?
Instead people like that, hide behind prop 215, making BANK, as he is proclaiming, to hide? in paranoia and fear?
Who would want to live like that? Not me, and i sure rather GROW MY OWN pot, than to pay for someone elses LEGAL COST< and overhead so they can profit off of me.
So yes 215 should be low cost to FREE.
And Yes for prop 19, you should be allowed to GET RICH! But pay your taxes and stand up like a man, instead of hiding behind someone whos DYING! As you need patients to be A CAREGIVER!!!
So grow balls, vote yes on 19 and pay taxes like every other citizen here, or act like the DEA, and FDA and steal money from sick and dying patients.
Edit: Prop 19 does change medical marijuana Law. It actually EXEMPTS MEDICAL MARIJUANA FROM BEING TAXED. PERIOD!!
Where i know of at least 12 counties taxing it right now as we speak!
As well as this industrial unit in Oakland, its going to happen no matter what. Greed is greed. And keeping it illegal, only drives the prices UP!!!!
SCF
I hope you can see it in my view as well.
Martha martha Stewart didnt deserve prison time over a stock share. But its the law, and she did!!!!
Life isn't fair, but why make it even harder than it needs to be....
SCF you and all others are entitled to your opinions, I am not challenging that. If you have been editing his posts or deleting them as they were posted then so be it but I have been following the thread pretty consistently. As to the legality vs illegality issue you need to understand that just because he is violating the law doesn't make it morally wrong. I speed all the time, I throw banana peels into the bushes, I smoke weed, in short, I break the law all the time but that doesn't mean that doing so is immoral it just means that it is against the law. Now you have a moral stake in 215 it seems but you have to realize that him selling weed for profit is just him participating in the system as it exists today just as most do. More importantly, the vast majority of those served under the guise of 215 are not dying or suffering from some debilitating malady. Most are regular joes suffering from headaches or insomnia. Furthermore you need to realize that 215 is limiting on our rights just as full prohibitions is. Considering this and that my desire is full legalization as it seems as is yours, we both need to realize that mothersucker is not operating on the idea of utility but upon personal selfishness and or philosophical hedonism. I would like to think that if I were in the situation I would make the virtuous choice but I am not so sure that I wouldn't want to protect my piece of the pie.
this thread was an interesting read, started out about a monster 215 compliant(maybe) grow warehouse<br>
became another prop 19 rehash, which i guess is understandable, it's just weeks away<br>
but this warehouse(and others) is going full steam ahead prop 19 or not<br>
sounds like a 215 problem?<br>
i guess when some are hoping for DEA action(instead of fearing it), it signifies a different world is arriving
Just to clear up any confusion, when a government says that one very small and well connected group of people can build a 60,000 sq. ft. warehouse and everyone else can have a 25 sq. ft. space, that isn't capitalism.
That's crony something.
I have no problem with what they are doing in Oakland. If you dont Fail, you never tried........ but for environmental reasons.. i am a bit concerned. Hydro run off waste, lights, C20, electricity, and the list goes on... not very green friendly, but then again, i have no clue how exactly they are setting this up.
It would be awesome if they did tours, like they do in breweries, to see how they operate..
Fuck the DEA

SCF I am not getting into a pissing contest with you. I don't know you so you are right I don't know what you are like but we all form opinions about one another based on our writing and so I have. I interpreted your words in a certain way and if you didn't mean them in that way so be it. I am not threatened by you and have no reason to be. My point in responding was to point out that you were acting no differently than mothersucker, sacrificing right in favor for wrong although he makes no claim to be doing right.
As to the validity of someone's right to be under 215 that is a matter for their doctor, what I was asserting was that the claim that it should be free or low cost is less pressing when what you are curing is a headache from drinking too much rather than the nausea resulting from chemo.
Um i suffer from Migraines, called Basiler Migraines. Which causes Nausea, vertigo, tinnitus, main artery in the back of your neck narrows out, causing seizures, and passing out.
So dont tell me a " headache" isn't worth a reason to get a 215.
and that is far from the only diagnosis i have believe me, and took 20 different specialist to finally find out what was wrong after 2 years of Vertigo, waking up and throwing up every morning.....
wondering, if i can even make it to work that day, to keep my job, so i can keep my health insurance.... which of course i ended up loosing.
and im not getting into a pissing contest. im simply stating FACTS at hand. These is whats going on man.. people are really sick. FDA is shoving drugs down peoples throats like candy.... using people like guinea pigs.
I no where stated sacrificing right in favor of wrong? Im not understanding what you are saying? I have sacrificed myself, for the good of this cause, and will continue to do so. I have these discussions with people like you, because i hope, yes i can learn something, or a different perspective, as well as lead by example.
Because someone wants to keep Prop 19 away for there own profits, is to want to SACRIFICE many peoples lives, with jail time, etc. and i retracted my statement about him going to prison. but i dont take back, that i wont feel bad for him, as he wants others to go to jail, for his profit, when we have a perfect legal way right here to vote on. Prop 19!!!

Indoor prices easily dwarf outdoor prices any day of the week. More often on Sundays, as you know.
Are greenhouses really considered "outdoor"?
Really?
Why the hell were they invented then?
