California Cites and Counties with marijuana bans, and Moratoria.

The "bans" you refer to, ban the cannabis clubs from operating or new ones from opening up. Not the plant.

What do you think it means by banning marijuana dispensaries? You're not trying to insinuate that it's meant to be a green light to smoke as much dope as possible...are you?

The word "banned", means to prohibit the use of. 

I'm wondering why you would think that a fact as important as that is   "ignorant".

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt

I was merely correcting your misleading title that said Marjuana banned in certain Counties and Cities. Last time I checked it is still legal to consume marijuana in all of the places you listed so what's your point? Or were you being ignorant when you wrote the title? Or intentionally misleading?

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty. RISE UP.

I dont consider it a redlight either. That's why there aare no less than a dozen delivery services right here in your sleeply little County. Sorry Stanislaus, Modesto, Turlock, etc. No tax dollars for you.

I think you knew EXACTLY what I was talking about. Let's not dance around the issue. The city of Modesto as well as Turlock has imposed bans on the sale of so called "medical marijuana". Along with 137 other cities!

One Voice, One Message, No Use. Is that clear enough?

Whoohoo!

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt

silly, silly girl. Dispensaries. That's it. Not the sale of. Not possession of. Not even cultivation of. Just "storefront" dispensaries. That's it. That's all you got. Like I said there are NO less than a dozen delivery services in Modesto alone that are perfectly legal. You can't stop it. You can't even hope to contain it. Ha Ha Ha Ha. One voice....does that include the ones in your head?

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty. RISE UP.

Possession of a controlled substance is against the law.

If you seriously doubt that I can shut down the delivery services,  then there's no reason for you not to name them...right? Or is that just too much logic for one day.

Provide the names of these delivery services.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt

.....go ahead, try shutting them down. A simple google search will show them.

You can't. Just as you cannot stop responsible adults from doing whatever the hell they want in their own homes.

Chris...

Who are these people!

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt

They're ringing you up at the grocery store, they're the ones doing the oil change on your SUV's, they're your tv service technicians, operations managers....normal-everyday-people.

They just don't go around wearing signs on their backs proclaiming it.

You would have loved the 20s JosiaRivers

No need for the propaganda. By the way, what you just wrote is total non sense. Many employers require drug testing. They do that to weed out...(pun intended)   employee's using illegal drugs. What you are attempting here is a tactic called "harm reduction",  you are trying to deceive the public into thinking that drug use is "normal" behavior.

Well, it's not. Stop the lies.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt

Some are Doctors, I know attorneys, police officers, probation officers......personally. But of course since A1 doesn't know any then we are lying. Right ChrisH?

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty. RISE UP.

...assuming you ever did. Prefixing a sentence with an interogative like "who, what, where, when & why" is a pretty good indication of a question.

And it's not propaganda, it's the damn truth if you'd just pull the blinders off of your eyes (or maybe take the scary makeup and hair off and go outside once in a while)

Are you kidding me! You are in need of bi-focals brotha.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt

Provide the list of names please. Time to put your money where your mouth is.

Linda perhaps you missed this post

In their latest issue, Marie Claire puts the spotlight on 'stiletto stoners,'--educated and successful women who smoke marijuana to relax at the end of a workday. A study by The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration estimates that 8 million American women have smoked pot in the past year.

Debbie Schwartz, a 28-year-old reality show production manager, justified her evening routine to the magazine:

"I love to have a glass of wine now and again, but going out and downing sugary cocktails isn't fun for me. And drinking is so much more expensive....I'll go to the gym for an hour, then come back home and smoke a joint while I listen to jazz and read a book--I just finished The Fountainhead. It's my moment for myself before I have to get up and do it all over again tomorrow. It's my bubble bath," Schwartz explains.

Yesterday "The Today Show" interviewed a book editor who compares her post-work pot-smoking to "having a glass of wine at the end of the day." But she wouldn't say she's addicted. "I feel like I'm more addicted to coffee than anything else, and I'm sure millions of people can say the same

why do you believe that a disproportionately large number of black people should be locked up?

She talks about the constitution and then applauds the circumvention of the will of the people.  She claims MMJ is a scam and how dangerous it is, yet she cannot provide any independent, peer-reviewed studies to back her big mouth up.  If she does post a link, it is a source with a bias (it would be like one of us citing NORML or the like as credible, i.e. without bias).  And you may add professor/researcher to the list.  Like he said Buttercup, we don't walk around with signs on our backs, hence the screen name, because of nut jobs like you.  I ask you this question Voter: Do you see the irony here?

The South Park episode Butt-Out comes to mind.

   Where did the word 'marijuana' come from? In the mid 1930s, the M-word was created to tarnish the good image and phenomenal history of the hemp plant...as you will read. The facts cited here, with references, are generally verifiable in the Encyclopedia Britannica, which was printed on hemp paper for 150 years:

• All schoolbooks were made from hemp or flax paper until the 1880s; Hemp Paper Reconsidered, Jack Frazier, 1974.

• It was LEGAL TO PAY TAXES WITH HEMP in America from 1631 until the early 1900s; LA Times, August 12, 1981.

• REFUSING TO GROW HEMP in America during the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries WAS AGAINST THE LAW! You could be jailed in Virginia for refusing to grow hemp from 1763 to 1769; Hemp in Colonial Virginia, G. M. Herdon.

• George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers GREW HEMP; Washington and Jefferson Diaries. Jefferson smuggled hemp seeds from China to France then to America.

• Benjamin Franklin owned one of the first paper mills in America and it processed hemp. Also, the War of 1812 was fought over hemp. Napoleon wanted to cut off Moscow's export to England; Emperor Wears No Clothes, Jack Herer.

• For thousands of years, 90% of all ships' sails and rope were made from hemp. The word 'canvas' is Dutch for hemp; Webster's New World Dictionary.

• 80% of all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc. were made from hemp until the 1820s with the introduction of the cotton gin.

• The first Bibles, maps, charts, Betsy Ross's flag, the first drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were made from hemp; U.S. Government Archives.

• The first crop grown in many states was hemp. 1850 was a peak year for Kentucky producing 40,000 tons. Hemp was the largest cash crop until the 20th Century; State Archives.

• Oldest known records of hemp farming go back 8000 years in Persia. Hemp industrialization began 5000 years ago in Central Asia and North Africa, in ancient Persia, China and Egypt.

• Rembrandts, Gainsborough's, Van Gogh's as well as most early canvas paintings were principally painted on hemp linen.

• In 1916, the U.S. Government predicted that by the 1940s all paper would come from hemp and that no more trees need to be cut down. Government studies report that 1 acre of hemp equals 4.1 acres of trees. Plans were in the works to implement such programs; Department of Agriculture.

• Quality paints and varnishes were made from hemp seed oil until 1937. 58,000 tons of hemp seeds were used in America for paint products in 1935; Sherman Williams Paint Co. testimony before Congress against the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act.

• Henry Ford's first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the CAR ITSELF WAS CONTRUCTED FROM HEMP! On his large estate, Ford was photographed among his hemp fields. The car, 'grown from the soil,' had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941.

• Hemp called 'Billion Dollar Crop.' It was the first time a cash crop had a business potential to exceed a billion dollars; Popular Mechanics, Feb., 1938.

• Mechanical Engineering Magazine (Feb. 1938) published an article entitled 'The Most Profitable and Desirable Crop that Can be Grown.' It stated that if hemp was cultivated using 20th Century technology, it would be the single largest agricultural crop in the U.S. and the rest of the world.

   The following information comes directly from the United States Department of Agriculture's 1942 14-minute film encouraging and instructing 'patriotic American farmers' to grow 350,000 acres of hemp each year for the war effort:

'...When Grecian temples were new, hemp was already old in the service of mankind. For thousands of years, even then, this plant had been grown for cordage and cloth in China and elsewhere in the East. For centuries prior to about 1850, all the ships that sailed the western seas were rigged with hempen rope and sails. For the sailor, no less than the hangman, hemp was indispensable...

...Now with Philippine and East Indian sources of hemp in the hands of the Japanese...American hemp must meet the needs of our Army and Navy as well as of our industries...

...The Navy's rapidly dwindling reserves. When that is gone, American hemp will go on duty again; hemp for mooring ships; hemp for tow lines; hemp for tackle and gear; hemp for countless naval uses both on ship and shore. Just as in the days when Old Ironsides sailed the seas victorious with her hempen shrouds and hempen sails. Hemp for victory!'

   Certified proof from the Library of Congress; found by the research of Jack Herer, refuting claims of other government agencies that the 1942 USDA film 'Hemp for Victory' did not exist.

   Hemp cultivation and production do not harm the environment. The USDA Bulletin #404 concluded that hemp produces 4 times as much pulp as wood with at least 4 to 7 times less pollution.

    From Popular Mechanics, Feb. 1938:

   'It has a short growing season...It can be grown in any state...The long roots penetrate and break the soil to leave it in perfect condition for the next year's crop. The dense shock of leaves, 8 to 12 feet above the ground, chokes out weeds....hemp, this new crop can add immeasurably to American agriculture and industry.'

   In the 1930s, innovations in farm machinery would have caused an industrial revolution when applied to hemp. This single resource could have created millions of new jobs generating thousands of quality products. Hemp, if not made illegal, would have brought America out of the Great Depression.

   William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst's grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.

   In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal. Dupont's Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80% of Dupont's business.

   Andrew Mellon became Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury and Dupont's primary investor. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to head the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.

   Secret meetings were held by these financial tycoons. Hemp was declared dangerous and a threat to their billion dollar enterprises. For their dynasties to remain intact, hemp had to go. These men took an obscure Mexican slang word: 'marihuana' and pushed it into the consciousness of America.

Hemp, or cannabis, or marijuana was outlawed in 1937 because it threatened the nation-less corporate interests of - William Randolph Hearst ­ and - DuPont. They had to get rid of the competition. - Hearst's yellow journalism newspaper chain wrote scathing stories about "marijuana" - a word he made up - because he knew no one would believe them about hemp, which George Washington himself grew hemp.

The decorticator, a state of the art hemp harvester, led Popular Mechanics to call hemp the New Billion Dollar Crop. - - Because of printing and bindery lead time required for publication, this February 1938 article was actually prepared in the spring of 1937, when cannabis hemp was still legal to grow and was an incredibly fast-growing industry. - - Newsprint could now be produced far more cheaply than any other method, and one acre of hemp could produce as much newsprint as four acres of forest trees. - Hearst owned vast timber acreage and competition from the hemp industry might have driven his paper manufacturing out of business. He stood to lose millions of dollars.

DuPont stood to lose on two fronts. DuPont owned the patent for converting wood pulp into newsprint and supplied Hearst with the necessary chemicals. Secondly, in the 1930s DuPont was gearing up to introduce nylon and other man-made fibers, along with synthetic petrochemical oils, which they hoped would replace hemp see oil used in paints and other products. The decorticator meant that hemp fibers could be manufactured as fine as any man-made fibers. DuPont would lose untold millions of invested dollars, plus an estimated 80 percent of all future business, unless hemp was outlawed.

DuPont's financial backer was Mellon Bank, owned and chaired by Andrew Mellon. - - Andrew Mellon at the time was also Secretary of Treasury Department, which was in charge of drug taxes - -, i.e., prohibition - -. Harry Anslinger, commissioners of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, which answered to the Treasury Department, was married to Andrew Mellon's niece. Thus they had the power and the means. - Anslinger's lies about hemp were repeated endlessly in Hearst's newspapers. Stories about marijuana, the killer weed from Mexico, instilled fear and completely misled the public that the weed was, in fact, just good old hemp.

Cannabis hemp was not prohibited because it was dangerous. Indeed, for thousands of years it was the world's largest agricultural crop used in thousands of products and enterprises, producing the majority of fiber, fabric, lighting oil, paper, incense, medicine and food. - No, cannabis hemp was prohibited to protect the Hearst and DuPont corporations from devastating competition, as well as appealing to the overt racism stirred up by Hearst's yellow journalism.

MEDIA MANIPULATION

   A media blitz of 'yellow journalism' raged in the late 1920s and 1930s. Hearst's newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marihuana. The menace of marihuana made headlines. Readers learned that it was responsible for everything from car accidents to loose morality. Films like 'Reefer Madness' (1936), 'Marihuana: Assassin of Youth' (1935) and 'Marihuana: The Devil's Weed' (1936) were propaganda designed by these industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was to gain public support so that anti-marihuana laws could be passed.

Examine the following quotes from 'The Burning Question' AKA REEFER MADNESS:

• A violent narcotic.

• Acts of shocking violence.

• Incurable insanity.

• Soul-destroying effects.

• Under the influence of the drug he killed his entire family with an axe.

• More vicious, more deadly even than these soul-destroying drugs (heroin, cocaine) is the menace of marihuana!

   Reefer Madness did not end with the usual 'the end.' The film concluded with these words plastered on the screen: TELL YOUR CHILDREN.

   In the 1930s, people were very naive; even to the point of ignorance. The masses were like sheep waiting to be led by the few in power. They did not challenge authority. If the news was in print or on the radio, they believed it had to be true. They told their children and their children grew up to be the parents of the baby-boomers.

   On April 14, 1937, the Prohibitive Marihuana Tax Law or the bill that outlawed hemp was directly brought to the House Ways and Means Committee. This committee is the only one that can introduce a bill to the House floor without it being debated by other committees. The Chairman of the Ways and Means, Robert Doughton, was a Dupont supporter. He insured that the bill would pass Congress.

   Dr. James Woodward, a physician and attorney, testified too late on behalf of the American Medical Association. He told the committee that the reason the AMA had not denounced the Marihuana Tax Law sooner was that the Association had just discovered that marihuana was/is hemp.

   Few people, at the time, realized that the deadly menace they had been reading about on Hearst's front pages was in fact passive hemp. The AMA understood hemp to be a MEDICINE found in numerous healing products sold over the last hundred years.

   In September of 1937, hemp became illegal. The most useful crop known became a drug and our planet has been suffering ever since.

   Congress banned hemp because it was said to be the most violence-causing drug known. Anslinger, head of the Drug Commission for 31 years, promoted the idea that marihuana made users act extremely violent. In the 1950s, under the Communist threat of McCarthyism, Anslinger now said the exact opposite. Marijuana will pacify you so much that soldiers would not want to fight.

   Today, our planet is in desperate trouble. Earth is suffocating as large tracts of rain forests disappear. Pollution, poisons and chemicals are killing people. These great problems could be reversed if we industrialized hemp. Natural biomass could provide all of the planet's energy needs that are currently supplied by fossil fuels. We have consumed 80% of our oil and gas reserves. We need a renewable resource. Hemp could be the solution to soaring gas prices.

   Hemp has a higher quality fiber than wood fiber. Far fewer caustic chemicals are required to make paper from hemp than from trees. Hemp paper does not turn yellow and is very durable. The plant grows quickly to maturity in a season where trees take a lifetime.

   ALL PLASTIC PRODUCTS SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP SEED OIL. Hempen plastics are biodegradable! Over time, they would break down and not harm the environment. Oil-based plastics, the ones we are very familiar with, help ruin nature; they do not break down and will do great harm in the future. The process to produce the vast array of natural (hempen) plastics will not ruin the rivers as Dupont and other petrochemical companies have done. Ecology does not fit in with the plans of the Oil Industry and the political machine. Hemp products are safe and natural.

   MEDICINES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. We should go back to the days when the AMA supported hemp cures. 'Medical Marijuana' is given out legally to only a handful of people while the rest of us are forced into a system that relies on chemicals. Hemp is only healthy for the human body.

   WORLD HUNGER COULD END. A large variety of food products can be generated from hemp. The seeds contain one of the highest sources of protein in nature. ALSO: They have two essential fatty acids that clean your body of cholesterol. These essential fatty acids are not found anywhere else in nature! Consuming hemp seeds is the best thing you could do for your body. Eat uncooked hemp seeds.

   CLOTHES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. Hemp clothing is extremely strong and durable over time. You could hand clothing, made from hemp, down to your grandchildren. Today, there are American companies that make hemp clothing; usually 50% hemp. Hemp fabrics should be everywhere. Instead, they are almost underground. Superior hemp products are not allowed to advertise on fascist television. Kentucky, once the top hemp producing state, made it ILLEGAL TO WEAR hemp clothing! Can you imagine being thrown into jail for wearing quality jeans?

   The world is crazy...but that does not mean you have to join the insanity. Get together. Spread the news. Tell people, and that includes your children, the truth. Use hemp products. Eliminate the word 'marijuana.' Realize the history that created it. Make it politically incorrect to say or print the M-word. Fight against the propaganda (designed to favor the agenda of the super rich) and their bullshit. We must begin utilizing hemp now! Time is running out! We need a clean energy source to save our lives and planet Earth. WE MUST INDUSTRIALIZE HEMP!

   The liquor, tobacco and oil companies fund more than a million dollars a day to Partnership for a Drug-Free America and other similar agencies. We have all seen their commercials. Now, their motto is: 'It's more dangerous than we thought.' Lies from the powerful Nation-Less Corporations, that began with Hearst, are still alive and well today.

   The brainwashing continues. Now, the commercials say: If you buy a joint, you contribute to murders and gang wars. The latest - anti-Hemp - commercials say: If you buy a joint...you are promoting TERRORISM! The new enemy, (terrorism) has paved the road to brainwash you any way THEY see fit. The untold truth is that fossil fuels consumption is the direct link and help for maintaining, spreading and protecting TERRORISM, all over the world! Think about this next time pumping GAS into your SUVs at the pump!

   There is only one enemy; the friendly people you pay your taxes to; the war-makers and nature destroyers. With your funding, they are killing the world right in front of your eyes. OVER A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY TOBACCO CONSUMPTION. AND HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION.

   Ingesting THC, hemp's active agent, has a positive effect; relieving asthma and glaucoma. A joint tends to alleviate the nausea caused by chemotherapy. You are able to eat on hemp. This is a healthy state of being.

   There is physical evidence that hemp plant is not like any other plant on Earth. Hemp is the ONLY plant where the males appear one way and the females appear very different, physically! No one ever speaks of males and females in regard to the plant kingdom because plants do not show their sexes; except for hemp. To determine what sex a certain, normal, Earthly plant is, you have to look internally, at its DNA. A male blade of grass (physically) looks exactly like a female blade of grass. The hemp plant has an intense sexuality.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt

We've passed a law whereas we can fine dumpster divers eating out of a back alley garbage can, we can't afford to keep our park restrooms open so humans can pee in private, China is looking at buying General Motors/Chrysler lock stock and barrel, one in every eight American homes is or will be foreclosed on, our community's are overrun with homeless with no place to eat and sleep, we have increased fees at our State University's 1/3, our prisons are filled way over capacity, we don't have jobs available for those that want to work, and we are at war.

And guess what the so-called war on drugs found. As if who really gives a rats ars, considering all the problems the United States has to contend with.

What a freaking sad state of affairs.
