Hey Budforce
I am a Ganja hospice Home Health Aid in Santa Cruz and I have been supplying and administering Ganjameds for patients about 12 years here, and another 20 years before that in Florida. I have never had a problem with supplying patients or using myself. Since we passed 215 and Measure A in 92 and the recent hand out protest I have little or no insecurities using and providing. Here in Santa Cruz.
With that said I also have no doubt that Fed law trumps state law and county and city law and considering the civil rights movement I have to agree Feds should have the upper hand if it was a legitimate crime. But since it isn't, and since the original law was based on lies and every year since 37 maintaining the dysfunction. So in the case of Ganja the Feds are illegal and practicing fascism keeping out competition. Nothing more. The profits on prisons and maintaining the Ganjawar is why its still harming citizens. Nothing to do with the dangers of pot smoking. Again the only way the corporations can be circumvented is an end around the feds with a Constitutional Convention of 2/3rds of the citizens. The Santa Cruz case will supply info and give lawyers fodder but it won't change the reality of the Feds and their ties to the Corporations selling crude oil plastic alternatives to Ganja and hemp. Though the feds aren't after me or other individuals either as far as I've seen. Only those in the headlines or hugely profiting. I have three physicians authorizing Ganja for my patients, though I won't ask them for a signature because of the risk of them losing their license. At the end of the day the patients are medicated. I'm toking and no one has to get their undies in a twist.
Fascism is an enemy to capitalism and that is our problem. The Ganja is a red herring to avoid the debate and profit on keeping competition off the trade market. No other reason for 99% of the Ganja eradications to be non psychoactive ditchweed hemp. Except to raise statistics and keep food, fuel and fiber competition at bay. So this isn't about hippies or pot and the sheople perpetuating by their non participation are as guilty as those intentionally maintaining this dysfunction selling $400.00 ozs or getting $20 billion budgets. Not that growers shouldn't profit somewhat. Hell they're the true public servants. But I won't give respect to the large commercial chemical grows taking advantage of the state laws shunning patients for profits. Educating the masses will bring legitamacy to the cause. Not typical politics. imho

"Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there." - William E. Dodd, U.S. Ambassador to Germany, 1937. Continued...

"There is a myth about such highs: the user has an illusion of great insight, but it does not survive scrutiny in the morning. I am convinced that this is an error, and that the devastating insights achieved when high are real insights; the main problem is putting these insights in a form acceptable to the quite different self that we are when we're down the next day. Some of the hardest work I've ever done has been to put such insights down on tape or in writing. "
