COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) â A group seeking to legalize marijuana possession and cultivation in Ohio has failed to gather enough valid signatures to put the issue in front of state lawmakers, Secretary of State Frank LaRose told the group in a letter Monday.
The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol needed nearly 133,000 valid signatures but fell 13,062 short, cleveland.com reported.
One major development that went overlooked by the mass media is Flock Safetyâs role in the ever-expanding network of police license plate readers. From January 2021-December 2021 law enforcement and neighborhood associations across the country have been installing Flock Safety license plate readers at a record pace.
It is my hope that others will see what I have documented and ask, âhow can a private company get away with creating a nationwide license plate tracking system during a pandemic?â
interesting to hear Scutari explain why he still needs to send SWAT teams into your house & jail you for plantsâŚthe arrogance of the political class knows no boundsâŚyour freedom means absolutely nothing to him
I didnât read any sort of explanation. Unless you count âhomegrow would flood the marketâ and âmarijuana is no longer illegal, and itâs not for sale anywhereâ as an explanation⌠seems like one is the solution to the other, but thatâs probably just my simplistic plebian outlook as someone whoâs not getting his pockets lined by the pharmaceutical industry.
sounds like heâs saying âIâm a sleazeball and I wonât do anything unless I get paidâ the gardeners of the world arenât passing him any envelopes
The govt. has become more like a religious institution, like the Vatican, separated from democracy, just issuing decrees upon us at their whim. NJ growers can console themselves with Gandhiâs words:
âYou assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good person will resist an evil system with his or her whole soul.â â Gandhi
Lots of money in being the first to market, with a captive demography not even allowed to try competing⌠havenât you ever tried to change your cable provider in NJ? Legal monopolies are the way they like it. Iâm sure there were lots of legally laundered bribes changing hands behind the scenes on the awarding of those 37 cultivator licenses.
Funny story you guys are abit younger and Wouldnât know that at one point in time the garbage industry was all mobbed up well when I was a young man and I was running my first store as a manager I tried to cut expenses and I decided to call around to all the trash companies because there was a new guy on the block saying he would cut the prices( waste management) well I started getting phone calls from all the major garbage guys telling me what are you crazy thatâs Castellanos route oh well when they started to show up in person and then I realized Iâm a little bit too young to get my head kicked in for something as stupid as garbage
Itâs the same thing thatâs happening right now in our beloved canna industry everybody needs to make the money first and especially New Jersey is one of the most corrupt state going so politicians big Pharma and all the big businesses just got their hands in it and theyâre afraid of a little mom and pop shop because they may do a better job than them are hell yeah weâre going to do a better job than they are they donât know their ass from a hole in the wall letâs be serious ideally there is more than enough room for some craft growers and big Pharma to be involved nobody needs to get greedy us small guys are just interested in producing something good for ourselves and our family Iâm too old to be a threat whatâs wrong with this industry leave us alone OK one last thing Iâm told I shouldnât hold back that I should get all this stuff off my chest so Iâm sorry about the rant
Ya donât see Coors or Anheiser Busch feeling threatened by microbrewers⌠And ya donât see every tom, dick and harry brewing their own stuff, most just wanna purchase it at the store, not even seeking it out from friends who brew⌠Why is this gonna be ANY different? Some home brewer isnât putting his product on retailers shelves, nor do they care to most times. Wouldnt home growers be the same? Youâll have those who wanna grow their own shit (cannabis, tomatoes, hops), and those who just wanna go to the store and buy it already packaged up. I donât see DelMonte or Dole being threatened by everybodys veggie gardens either!
It really is a money grab⌠no two ways to look at it⌠Make as much as they can as fast as they can⌠SMH
And Iâve been on this rock long enough to remember âwaste managementâ lol. It was a very real thing, and still to this day probably real, just more white collarâŚ
This is what the exorbitant tax rates paid by NJ citizens buys them.
Sclerotic dysfunction at itâs finest.
Home growing is not even on the distant horizon.
When pot gets national legalization, we can expect this. Commercial pot. A complete industry ruled over by cartels and governments to squeeze every last dime out of their industrialized plants, collapsing the small legal farmer. Maybe try to pass laws constraining individual growers. I believe home grown will then become the âConnoisseurs Choice.â
Judge: Baton Rouge Violated the First Amendment by Trying To Imprison a Professor for Sharing Body Camera Footage
That footage, originally shared with Reason, was captured at a 2020 traffic stop. Baton Rouge Police Department (BRPD) officers cuffed 23-year-old Clarence Green and his 16-year-old brother, pulling down their pants on the sidewalk to look for drugs. Officer Troy Lawrence Jr. and thenâSgt. Ken Camallo subsequently went to the familyâs home and searched it, weapons drawn, without a warrant.
As much as I enjoy this conversation, and I know it can be loosely applied to cannabis and how governments control things, but itâs getting a little off topic and puts Calyxander in a position he may not enjoy, which is up setting people by removing it, because itâs more off topic than on.
As much as I generally detest any and all censorship, I am obligated to adhere to OGâs
no political posting policy. Even short detours into the taboo realm of political discourse are
not acceptable here.
