Obama, you can’t fix what is this broke. Damn egomaniacs… Even if he somehow manages to remove a large portion of old style racism, the Drug War is still just a corrupt replacement that very racist and/or hateful mindset. No matter how professional one may be, you cannot serve other folks evil intentions with a clear conscious.

The study described above is praiseworthy for drawing attention to VAPORIZATION, compared to surveys such as the recent New Zealand one which dominated the google “cannabis”-related search results for months, but mentioned no distinction between use of “joints” and other inhalant delivery methods– and also didn’t bother studying the difference whether non-mix-with-tobacco-users did better on IQ tests.

I’d like to repeat: cannabis users, including authorized mmj patients, are urged to familiarize themselves with the Distant Flame (ferne Beleuchtung) lighting method whereby even indigent or low income persons who don’t think they can afford a vaporizer can get good vaporizing results from a cheap screened $4 One-Hitter (with long flexible drawtube) and an ultra-cheap 5/$1 chinese Lighter.

This is perfect for the sausage-making going on in D.C. to deal with the fiscal cliff shit. One side is asking for cuts, the other for revenues. Savings is an accounting +$ number, and cash flow from revenues now above ground add to that another accounting +$ number. The feds will get their share from the pharmaceutical industry for cannabis-based patents and drugs, plus whatever they get from business and individual taxes–so on down the line of levels of government.

If is a zero-sum situation, the public stands to gain, while the illegal circles, overlapping illegal circles of people that map the major regions of land: most of North America, Western Europe, Asia, Middle East, and wherever cannabis is prevalent.

Internationally, the feds have the opportunity to follow the money trail to the source to monitor who they are and what they spend their money on to develop and modernize their countries AND NOT use the profits to kills us, basically. It’s an opportunity for them to fund their own improvement of the human condition. The U.S. assets, government and NGOs, would be right there to pay in hard currency and outarm the opposition, if they want to have it that way. Need I remind you of Mexico. Just look at the bloody mess down there. All that death and suffering it just plain old wrong on so many levels, moral, financial, the good-neighbor perspective.

Just give up on this idea about making illegal immigrants (Mexicans and Latinos?) pay some sort of fine even after the government allows them to stay. If they’re good enough for you to let them stay then they’re good enough for amnesty. So you make them apply for a work permit, and the employer can’t hire them without a work permit, which does not have to mean they can get a Green Card just because of that alone. I mean, shit, have you ever been to Western Europe where they have open borders and their work permit system. I mean, now that’s a good neighbor policy, and they’ve got a work permit policy for Europeans outside of the Schenghen Agreement, such as Eastern Europeans, and a work permit scheme for U.S. citizens who want to work there. My point is, Listen Up, my point is that it needs to be easier for people to come to the country legally to work. A work permit system gives people the right to work, and can be used to limit how much they may make use of the social safety and blah, blah, blah; you can look into the rest yourselves.

I guess Wall Street isn’t looking for any cash flow from the cannabis sector, as if they can ever get enough money; just like as if the politicians can never get enough power.

Let’s get this plant legalized now. It’s like Barney Frank said that we need to press out advantage. Absolutely right! I love Barney Frank. I’m so glad he wants to wants the appointment, I think it’s a senate appointment up until election time. Here goes plan B, if he’s in, as he knows who his allies in the House are, and then he’ll probe the Senate. I hope he gets it. I hope he succeeds. I hope he spearheads legalization soon. When I look at how many states that have gay marriage and how many states have legalized cannabis I have to consider the order of things taking place, that is if for example a state becoming an MMJ state makes it then more likely to then later have gay marriage, and where it is likely to be marriage first then cannabis, blah, blah, blah.

Kiss X Kiss, Barney
