Quote: throw your seeds everywhere

What seeds? I find maybe 10 a year if I'm lucky and no way in hell I'm randomly tossing them.

A group supporting Initiative 502, which would legalize, tax and regulate sales of marijuana in Washington, is up, up and away with a $1 million advertising campaign and a 30 second spot you’ll see on early morning TV news.

“It’s definitely targeted to women who tend to be less supportive of marijuana reform than men,” said Alison Holcomb, coordinator for the New Approach Washington campaign.

The marijuana campaign is mellow, featuring a woman looking into the TV screen and saying:

“I don’t like it personally, but it’s time for a conversation about legalizing marijuana. It’s a multimillion dollar industry in Washington State and we get no benefit. What if we regulate it?”

The end message: A “new approach” to cannabis is needed.

New Approach is dealing with a tricky political climate. About 40 percent of Americans, including the 44th President, have smoked marijuana at some point in their lives. An overwhelming majority feel that targeting possession of small amounts of marijuana as a crime is wrong.

Yet, the country is polarized. Law enforcement has become addicted to its “War on Drugs” despite evidence that the war is being lost. The 1930′s-vintage movie “Reefer Madness” is still taken seriously, and the careers of students, park rangers and Olympic athletes get permanently blighted if they test positive or admit to taking a toke.

At the other end of the spectrum are what Holcomb calls “Free the Weed” advocates, the pothead constituency deeply suspicious of city attorneys and former FBI agents and police chiefs signing on to the legalization cause.

plant it in the ground here and there
because it can and will grow just about anywhere

it wants to survive more than most humans try
it wants us to thrive and shows us our dark side
it lights the inner fire to get to the other side of our desires
it teaches us to become aware of our thoughts, actions, and feelings
and it hints to us there is something behind the curtains of reality
where one day we might meet the architects of this tragedy

why is it considered such a thought crime to get high?
to elevate yourself beyond the senseless dribble of reality?
because they would rather you get low on government blow
and wallow in all the worlds sorrow

free weed for all
free food for all
free shelter for all
if we learn to share

That's great, very well said and totally true. The reason the TPTB want it illegal is because they want us in a state of chaos...weed calms you down and centers you.

I'm watching "Square Grouper" in the background right now, a pot documentary from 2011 on "The Movie Channel". Seems President Jimmy Carter back in 1977 said that he thought there should be NO penalty for possession of 1 ounce of weed/Cannabis. I'm starting to think EVERY time the Govt starts talking about legalization IS a "false flag" statement to get people to drop their guard. If I were anyone here thinking now is the time to put some seeds in the ground (where it's NOT legal to do so, and seasonal limits this late permitting), I would think again. Highly do some thinking, and then think again, AGAIN. Call it Govt derived psychological propaganda to round up even more future prisoners, or don't call it that.

Just imagine for a moment the feeling of happiness and relief that "they" are even talking about legalizing this plant, what it brings to people who LOVE this plant for many reasons, a feeling that seems SOOOOooooo overdue at this point, a feeling that makes most say, "It's about effing time". This is a feeling "they" would love people to have, it is a weakness in "their" eyes. "They're" hoping some people with means and property paid for, VERY nice expensive auction ready assets owning, and will possibly make mistakes under "their" synthetic temporarily induced, greed induced, lie induced mindset. "They" want your stuff, you in prison making them money on at least 2 levels, and after a retraction of aforementioned new "freedoms", a bigger claim to fame for filling prisons in the name of the "War On Drugs". I implore (beg) you people, do NOT let your guard down before it really is legal. This could be nothing more than an "off-white" flag being waved by career liars. Save those seeds for now.

This is 100% wrong.

The proposed taxes would push the price to $30 a gram, and do nothing but bolster and feed the gangs who will still sell at $8.

This is stupid in every respect.

It creates a permanent black market and keeps the criminals poisoning our forests and water sheds.

To legalize it must be cheap enough that the criminals wont waste their time.

lmao, like anybody would buy the taxed weed anyways. It will grow anywhere for free.

plus, only complete idiots buy weed from "gangsters". Gangsters sell hard drugs, high school kids and stoners sell pot.

we need to just get it legalized and get the government out of the business of telling people what they can and cant do if nobody is getting hurt

**Currahee**

That's a great ad. Very straightforward and simple.

The ad probably would appeal to brain-dead soccer-mom types. And control-freak types too.

Damn shame they don't recognize this second "Prohibition" for the money-generating, liberty and life destroying disaster that it is.

These people are idiots. Anyone else in the USA in a MMJ FRIENDLY state, no worries.

Our Medical Marijuana will not be interposed by idiots trying to legalize and tax the medicine we use to live with.
