Chill Skip. You have all of our utmost respect. Consider the source. Don't stoop to the level of arguing with mentally disabled people. Don't let them get your goat. They have won if you get pissed. Your a very cool dude. Everybody needs to take a chill pill (or toke) and remember it's those prohabitionist idiots where the anger/energy needs to be directed. Meditate.

^^^^^ yea not like you care about it being legal anyway right....
fuck these company's i have not eaten kellogs since they ran off the swimmer for smoking a bong...
Gotta say.....Owl Mirror seems to have been crucified in this thread when in reality seems like he's one of the few with his head on straight....I really hate this "us vs. them" mentality on these sites. I'm one of the most conservative, straight-laced potheads you'll ever meet, does that mean I'm not on the same level as the guy with natty white boy dreads and hemp bead necklaces?? Come on get real people, stop looking at everything through rose colored glasses
I find this entire thing hilarious...talk about an overreaction

I'm sure they think they are doing right.
If only they researched some actual facts.
Thread title:
Starbucks funding anti-marijuana lobbying.
Truth:
Starbucks does not fund anti-marijuana lobbying.
I'm not saying I'm 100% with him on everything he's saying, but I do agree wholeheartedly with his point that everybody seems to have jumped the proverbial gun here without much evidence to back up such a reaction...
Yeah, that's kinda what I was getting at haha
Well I found this Itailian coffee that is the best shit that I have ever found so far as far as coffee is concerned called LavAzza Rossa .. Best stuff out there as good as star sucks lol peace out Headband707
Should try Illy next time, excellent Italian coffee.
You all should know that Starbucks does drug testing. They would not say whether they test for cannabis or not.
Maybe that's enough for a boycott, whether or not they support marijuana prohibition. They seem to support drug testing.
I remember the days before ANYONE got drug tested, until you got arrested.
So ppl now are presumed guilty until proven innocent.
Does that bother anybody?
So let's keep the boycott going over the mandatory drug testing they do. Spread the word, the Boycott's still on!
Let's use this boycott of Starbucks to get our lost freedoms back!
People need cannabis, it's medicine and if they can function in their jobs without putting ppl at risk there is no need to drug test them.
This is not the way freedom rings...

I just talked to the employees at the Starbucks down the street.
No drug testing.
Maybe they test at the corporate level?
You don't even know if they test for weed.
Sounds like this thread.
Ya let's keep making up reasons to boycott.
Something is bound to stick!
How does boycotting a drink shop get our lost freedoms back?
Seriously, isn't there an entity that you could promote boycotting that actually deserves it???
As a moderator, when you do not step in and advise those who are advocating violence and illegal activities, you are complicit.
When a member is being unfairly maligned and, you remain silent, you are supporting those unjust attacks. Not only have you remained silent on the issue but, you joined in and personally accused me of being a government spy.
What have I done besides express my views and defend myself from these unwarranted attacks on my character?
Just because I do not believe that marijuana should be treated as a high priced commodity, I am attacked and accused of being the enemy of all marijuana users.
Just because I believe that there are some taking advantage of patients in med states by using the patients as cover for illegal sales that benefit only the grower, I am accused of being an agent of the government.
I think that is quite unfair and shouldn't have to defend myself against those claims, especially when they come from a moderator.
Do what you must but, I have done nothing wrong.
I just hope whatever you do, the rest of the membership takes notice.
It's pretty obvious that people should never voice an opinion that the moderator doesn't agree with as that can lead to being banned.
You won't ever catch me there again... and I know so many people that are done with their bullsheet ~
Thank you
OWL MIRROR LIE #1:
I suppose you think that is advocating violence... Wrong!
OWL LIE #2
What I wrote to you:
You call that remaining silent? You call that supporting the attacks. I think not. BTW, where exactly did I call YOU specifically a government spy.
What I actually said:
Sorry but I don't see your name there. LIAR!
OWL LIE #3
Nothing except: You've attacked what others have said. You've acted like a NET NANNY, which we don't need around here, telling us how to run this website, telling people what they should and shouldn't be saying. You attacked the management of this website and threatened it with being shutdown because of something I didn't even do or say...
OWL LIE #4
OWL LIE #5
Not only have I just posted up your lies, but others have taken offense at your posts and complained about it.
OWL LIE#6
Again your last lie, you are being banned for attacking the management of this website without cause, acting like YOU run the Internet, and causing undue paranoia over NOTHING. Go see a shrink.
Lastly, you've managed to waste a significant amount of my time today, taking away from my ability to service the site and the needs of our members. I'm sure they'll all like to thank you for that.

Yes, I did some more research on the net and apparently Starbucks doesn't do mandatory drug testing, but they might ask for one if they suspect drug use. I guess that gives them a reason to fire someone. Starbucks PR said they do drug testing too so I had a verbal confirmation.
Starbucks employees say you can't do cannabis on the job and do it well, obviously. I can believe that.
So yeah, not the best reason for a boycott.
And yes there are many other "entities" that could be boycotted.
A few are listed here:
