Well…you saw what us San Diegans did, and good old Merced was right with San Diego before they got thrown out of the U.S. Supreme Court. If Merced doesn’t have a collective, form one. It’s a county issue not a city issue.

I WANT A MED MARIJUANA CARD BUT WONT GET ONE AND I TRULY DESERVE ONE.

WHY NOT ? OK ILL TELL YOU ~ THERE WILL NEVER BE A POT CLUB TO BUY FROM IN MERCED COUNTY CA.( THEY WERE OUTLAWED IN ADVANCE BY THE CITY COUNCIL )

AND THEN THEY WANT $225.00 DOLLARS A YEAR EVERY YEAR JUST TO HAVE A CARD. DMV AINT EVEN THAT BAD. ! !

AFTER VISITING THE HEALTH DEPT AND PLENTY OF DOCTORS NOTES AND SIGNATURES AND PROBING YOUR WHOLE LIFE.
AND GETTING ALL KINDS OF PERSONAL AND HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS NAMES ALSO .CMON !

I MEAN HONESTLY FOR WHAT ? IF YOU GET BUSTED WITH AN OUNCE OR LESS ILLEGALLY ITS ONLY A $ 100.00 DOLLAR FINE. WHY GO THROUGH THE COALS OF HELL !

THESE DAM MONKEYS AINT MY DADDY AND IM GONNA DO WHAT I NEED TO DO THATS ALL THERE IS TO IT.

I HAVE FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND WILL STILL WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER.

WHERE THE REAL INDICA LATELY ANYWAY ?

IT,S BEEN REAL AND IT,S JUST HOW I FEEL. !

Deseret News reports that the task force–which urrently only has Republican members–has four core initiatives: stopping drug use before it starts through education and community action; healing drug users; disrupting the narcotics market; and stringent narcotics enforcement.

I mean, isn’t that basically saying we’re Republicans…just one’s who care more than other Republicans about marijuana. Their initiative sounds like basically what the Republican stance HAS been, they just started a little club to waste more taxpayer money organizing. This is nothing new, they don’t seem to be doing anything that wasn’t already being done (anti-drug education – D.A.R.E and frying eggs , healing drug users – methadone clinics , disrupting the narcotics market – we’ve all seen videos of the DEA destroying someone’s life AKA disrupting the market, stringent narcotics enfocement – well, the way they “street value” their drugs, you go away for life for having sandwich bags and an ounce so, id say that was stringent…)

So what exactly are they doing at these meetings? Recanting old tales of when their friends performed unspeakable acts under the influence of marijuana….perhaps over a gin & tonic? Now, ALCOHOL….THAT may deserve a caucus…

I used to work for a company that provided payphone access to prisoners of jails. I did this work for over 4 years and visited over 70 facilities nationwide.
I have a question for Mr.Chaffetz:
If in an environment completely controlled, observed and regulated by force if necessary drugs were readily and I assume still are available for a price.
How in the world in a free nation do you plan on LEGISLATING control of a weed?
How many more citizens will be classified as ‘Felons’ stripped of citizens rights before you consider the war won?

Our company made obscene profits with no worry about economic pressure, all at the expense of the “families” with loved ones incarcerated?
All I want is the right to be left alone if I am not harming anyone… I guess that is not considered American anymore.
I also see facts mean nothing in this argument, it is just too profitable to keep locking up/ collecting the proceeds from the jail machine.
We build more jails than schools… is that a good plan Mr.Chaffetz? You must believe so. Your actions declare it.
