Sir Winston Churchill once said:
“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” Welcome to the next phase of what has been, and will continue to be, a multi-generational struggle.

It doesn’t need to be a multi-decade, multi-generational and when you frame the conversation that way you’re setting yourself up for something we call a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If you’re going to pick a Churchill quote, I would’ve gone with:

" This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."

“We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender…”

I almost forgot we live in a capitalist country.

Spidey senses are tingling. . .

We should never underestimate Uncle Sam’s squad of bureaucrats to muck things up.

Ironically enough, I can’t even read the article you posted because I’m using an ad blocker. :stuck_out_tongue: It all gets blurred out, and a window pops up telling me to turn it off or subscribe so they can get paid if I want to read. My state’s already “legalized” and homegrowing is still a felony, with the highest prices in the country in dispensaries, so I don’t exactly need to read it to know the kind of BS justifications they’re giving, but definitely a bit ironic.

That is amazingly fucked up, I am sorry to hear this.
Do they give a reason for making homegrowing a felony?
Sounds to me like the criminals are allowing other criminals to make money from cannabis.
Meanwhile they put good folks in prison for doing exactly what mr. business man is doing.

More of that…Rules for thee and not for me stuff we see more of everyday.
If we allow it…this will be the new normal. :grimacing:

"The draft law would make it legal for people over 18 to possess up to 25 grams (0.9 ounces) of cannabis and to cultivate up to three plants for personal use.

There will also be approved so-called cultivation associations. Often referred to as cannabis social clubs, they provide their members with home-grown cannabis products."

I wish we could could bring back the cannabis trading farmer’s market style of happy conversations and home grown goodness

Its worked so well they really just had to abolish its existence…regulatory issues no doubt!

Its like an open market speakeasy…

It was great there for a minute!

I guess you could call it a reason. They’re explicitly saying they aren’t going to legalize it “yet” because they want the market to get bigger. The bigger the market is, the higher the tax rate gets according to their legalization scheme. So yeah, pretty much exactly this:

They want more money, so we can’t have freedom… “yet.” They promise, once they’re rich enough, it’ll all get better! Except, of course, that “rich enough” is impossible for people like this. The more they get, the more they want to take.

This is my dream also, but I feel this will cut into the market share, therefor it probably will not be allowed.

Pulled from below;
“it would be nice to see the DEA admit, for once, that it was wrong.”

Our government is, and has been inherently dishonest.

In science news that will come as no surprise to most of us, a large Australian study finds “statistically significant, clinically meaningful improvements in overall Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) and fatigue over the first 3-months in patients with chronic health conditions accessing prescribed medical cannabis.

Last time I was in Amsterdam 15 years ago at the cheese market lots of the farmers tried to sell me kilos of weed. They showed me pictures of the farm and some of the weed. I’m sure that was illegal I didn’t buy (what can I do take it on a plane?) but it was basically a farmers market for weed it was just slightly under cover. Or maybe they were cops who knows.
