We all agree that the best option would be to remove it from Schedule 1 completely. That's all we have to do, no new laws, no governments coming to your house or garden, just take it out of schedule 1 and all is solved.
But until that day happens we have to do it this way.
Colorado is not perfect (nothing is short of full on rescheduling), but it's a damned good start.
No one is saying to stop fighting to have it rescheduled, just that the fight has evolved and so should we
I think rescheduling is a technicality at this point. It ceased to matter when the feds tolerated MMJ at all. Hell, they have MMJ in DC by an act of Congress.
I figure the way to change that is to change the reality around it, which exactly what's happening in Colorado. Went right past it like it was chained to the guardrail, didn't even let off the accelerator pedal. Now we're rollin' down the other side of the pass.
You have been a member for a year and this is your first post? I'm guessing this is a secondary account for someone. .... If sick of pasifists lioe you telling those of us who are actually paying attention to be happy with what you have. Stoo making waves. To you I say its better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
I guess that's what I get for not starting my post with "long time lurker, first time poster".
I don't know where you get off calling me all that retarded pacifist bullshit, I guess some people just can't be happy unless they're ranting, apoplectic and generally fucking miserable. Seems like a lot of drama to me.
My POINT was that YES, there is a LOOOONG way to go, nobody is saying lay down and die or settle for what we've got, but there's no reason to not be happy about the progress we're making. We've got 70 years of Reefer Madness to undo and billions of dollars in people's salaries attached to the "war on drugs" to wean them off of.
I guess some of us have a more developed sense of reality and know that things take time to get done right and that all those teenage fantasies about burning shit down and revolution just aren't realistic.
I just think it's idiotic to react to a major step like Colorado by ranting about how it's all meaningless and we're slaves and all that rancid conspiracy shit. This was a positive event, man, why are you smearing your feces all over it?
