Drink Kona Coffee...
Drink Kona Coffee...
Starbucks has people cracked the f^c* out, I dont know if our boycott will hurt em much, but...
their stock is down today.
The Big Island is hurting right now, you can help the great people there during the boycott by drinking Kona Coffee instead (smoke a lil Kona Gold too while your at it, if you got it)
ps...I burned a phatty outside of Bubba Gump's Alii dr., Kona a few weeks ago... I had no idea they were supporting our oppression, I just thought there food sucked ass! (which is why i left without paying the bill)

Dude you should have thought of the consequence before you got banned. We have Mods for a reason. Skip is probably one of the most lenient

Dude. Let it the fuck go. Nobody gives a shit. You were being an ass and were called on it. Suck it up. Be a man and quit bitching like an old woman. Jesus.

I am very proud of you all.
StarBucks is also a public supporter against Unions.
I do go get the free coffee grinds and compost with them. It's nice if you are a true organic soil enthusiast to have that much material available for free.
Back on the activism side. Love it rolling along.. I too take on folks everywhere I go.. I announce at karaoke to register to vote here in California. I often speak with strangers on making positive changes in Cannabis freedom.
The point is each of us can make a difference in our own communities. Come out of the Cannabis Closet and have Cannabis Pride!
A little self respect will help us grow!
Oh and support big box Organic Soil.. . It's endangered! Just a dirty bit of humor

This thread is a real trip... This is a non issue for me considering I've never bought coffee from Starbucks anyways, but I will indefinitely continue not to.
The thing with paying taxes is, it's virtually impossible not to in one way or the other. Most generally, governments at each and every level physically threaten your livelihood if you don't, and most people stand divided in their fears related to the repercussions of not obeying the 'minority of the majority.' It's not us who threatens to act against them, it's them who threaten us with aggression against the right to individually govern one's own life, therefore any form of counter is more than justifiable. I think it's time more people start overcoming this fear if we are ever actually to get anywhere, instead of basically having to plead for our rights and hope that we can make a strong well funded case against those who stand prejudiced against us. It would completely negate issues like this from ever arising. If people didn't want 'cannabis martyrs' like Eddy Lepp to be confined for something so trivial, they shouldn't have let him. Just saying.
So yeah, Dongle makes a pretty good point.

shit i bought starbucks today. its a dmn shame what they are doing. they do make good coffee though..............FUCK
just on the news here in OZ but strange how shit gets mixed from up country to country no real mention of the boycott was a mention of there being more pot cafe than starbucks cafe lol in cal.
seem to be jumping up and down because its easier to get pot than it is coffee.
never used starbucks thank god there pretty much a unknown over here.. except in the city but i cant recall seeing one of late.. guess we just have too many coffee shops privately owned that have a good following.

Let's keep it real...
Let's keep it real...
How many of you guys actually called Starbucks to find out their position? I called their corporate hotline and was stuck in a waiting line for about 4 minutes. I put my journalism skills to work and objectively asked "Where can I find a statement that clarifies Starbucks' position about medical marijuana and/or the matter about the law enforcement agency that pointed the company out as their sponsor?"
Well... the answer was simple and clear. That sponsorship was the work of a local franchise and in no way represents the corporation's position. Now, does this mean that what the rep (who read me an official statement) was telling me the truth? NO! It doesn't. But, does a bunch of concerned, scared, or angry stoners = "Starbucks is up to no good"? NO! It doesn't! What it means is that folks are allowing hype to trump fact. That means that we're easily manipulated and weak.
Basically, my point is that our movement would be better off if we kept cool, avoided belief in unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, and focused our wrath upon the true villains. It isn't like our real adversaries hide their identities. WE are the ones that must hide in order to preserve our liberty.
Yeah, let's hammer the fiends whose guilt is actually demonstrated.

Nearly fell off my seat laughing at the irony of a gun manufacturer, Glock, lobbying against marijuana. They surely cannot believe that producing and manufacturing machines that serve no purpose other than to kill or maim people is ok, but smoking weed isn't? Damn they really must be the most stupid, short-sighted bunch of idiots I've ever heard of.
Spread the word, boycott them all. People power always wins in the end.
Peace

One very good thing about this boycott, regardless if anyone thinks it was warranted or not, It will certainly discourage other organizations from taking an anti medical MJ stance in the future. It shows that medical MJ advocates are organized and have become a force to be reckoned with politically.
Good job to all who participated in this boycott.

I agree 100%, Aerohead. It *seems* that Starbucks HQ had nothing to do with this controversy. Now, who should we be focusing on? Which corporations out there really are our enemies? We all know how industrialists feared hemp (as a competitor to nylon) way back in the day? Aside from law enforcement which lobbies are actively organized against us now? That's what I'd love to know.
They must learn to fear us.
