Being (ahem) born and raised in Norcal, and having family members in "the business", I can testify that it was White Men that built the Pot business from the ground up.

Selective breeding, travel to foreign lands for genetics, horticultural excellence, hybridization etc. Not to mention distribution, often at great personal cost.

Sleeping outside from late August through mid-October, no matter the weather.

And they're supposed to give it all away after 50 years of building it.

It’s just a microcosm of what they want with the entirety of Western Civilization.

Some major contributions. But not the dominant force.

It’s OK to be racist if you are a “person of color”.
How utterly retarded these people are.

So what does she want to see? Does she prefer minority “businessmen” hawking drugs on street corners instead???

Well, maybe non-whites aren’t getting all the emails claiming that you too can make millions in the pot business.

Any reward for white people and their efforts is wrong. Don’t let it happen.

It’s sickening to see TV commercials featuring John Boehner (worthless failed Speaker of the House) hawking the “Cannabis Summit” to potential investors.

There is no greater capitalist organization than a government. They can, and do, limit competition and raise prices (taxes) at will with out regard to whether their customer base can pay or not.

Example - potential Cali pot growers are all complaining about the State’s pot tax and licence practices to open a grow and distribute business. The State charges 40pct tax on pot sales.

The result? Free market capitalism. The black market is under pricing and better distributing black market pot vs legalised pot. The State is not seeing the legal pot sales and tax revenues they anticipated.

If a person is inclined to buy this stuff, go back to your local dealer. You will save money.

Were does she come up with this crap? It’s like a dam broke and all the communist stuff comes flooding out of her mouth.

She’s been in Congress a couple of months - already cost NY appx 27 billion plus in future taxes, turned away at least 25k of high paying jobs, wants to shut down our commerce while totally destroying the USA by spending trillions to do so. She is beyond stupid and yet she shows no embarrassment at all about her complete misunderstanding of reality. This is really unbelievable!
