It’s no secret ... tells you that the bunch are protected by the Newsom/Hollywood mob. Could be easily wiped out in an hour by the State Police/National Guard.

Hopefully they’ll be incarcerated awaiting trial (or once justice is restored, awaiting deportation) they won’t be able to burn any evidence. The grow ops that were busted are being taken apart and dealt with by LE.

The bilingual pot growers may be moving up North in California.

There have been a few “landscapers/professional yard amigos/guys” move to Oregon this year.

They have been replaced by new “Blow and Go” guys in newer pickups and trailers.

It started when the pro illegal drug cartel started promoting Marijuana as “medicine”. This was brought about by a consortium of wealthy liberals...including former ceo of progressive insurance Peter Lewis.. These wealthy liberals targeted states with ballots on medical Marijuana Marijuana that used false, deceptive and misleading ads that touted Marijuana as medicine. Specifically the notion that Marijuana smoked or consumed was a virtual wonder drug. These lies continue to this day. Their real intent was to get to unlimited abuse of pot in the United Stated. Liberals know that a doped up population is easier to control.

“the notion that Marijuana smoked or consumed was a virtual wonder drug.”

You have specific examples of ads claiming this?

There should be no "legal market" and "black market". There should only be the market. Then nobody will have any reason to kill each other and the government won't get a cut and have excuses to engage in intrusive surveillance methods and financial monitoring.

There is no black market for donuts or bananas.

Note: They are operating out in the open and the state does nothing.

Do your own homework. The fact of the matter is that the populace has been duped by liberals into believing that smoked or ingested marijuana can help or cure a plethora of ailments. It's the modern day equivelant of snake oil only in the case it's harmful to western culture. Which of course is what the liberals want to do...destroy any last vestige of western thought, culture and ideas.

You can start your research by looking at just ONE liberal advocacy group and how busy they've been deceiving people like you:

“Do your own homework.”

YOU made the claim so it’s YOUR homework, windbag.

Nothing at your link supports your claim about “a virtual wonder drug”. Only the four current campaigns include any promotional material, and of those only the CT campaign mentions medical use at all, and then only to say that CT’s policy is too restrictive.

“Do a search on marijuana wonder drug”

As I said, YOUR claim so YOUR homework. And your claim was about ads not web pages: “false, deceptive and misleading ads that touted Marijuana as medicine. Specifically the notion that Marijuana smoked or consumed was a virtual wonder drug.”

Your argument tactic is to seize upon a minor point and beat it to death in order to distract from the main point.

Again, the main point is that marijuana legalization and the classification of marijuana as a "medicine" was and is a tool of the left. Leftists fund it, leftists promote it. It is designed to erode and destroy western culture. For the last 20 years or so we've been subjected to a nearly non-stop propaganda campaign about what a great "medicine" marijuana is.

For example this propaganda (https://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/20-medical-benefits-marijuana-you-probably-never-knew.html) promotes no less than 20 medical benefits including slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells, preventing Alzheimers, treating glaucoma, relieving arthritis, controlling seizures and even increasing lung health!

In every pro-pot thread you refuse to acknowledge that leftists are the one driving and promoting this. This makes you either a willing tool of leftists or an amazingly ignorant tool of leftists.

Pot is bad news. It's destructive to individuals and it's destructive to society.

Do you believe the article? Do you think every claim is 100% accurate and verifiable? Or are you willing to promote such bunk regardless of it's accuracy?

And again you studiously refuse to acknowledge that you are carrying water for leftists who are intent on destroying our uniquely American culture.

And again you studiously refuse to provide any evidence against the medical applications of marijuana.

The article provides research citations for its statements - whereas you provide bupkus.

Okay sport. If you want to believe that regular use of marijuana IMPROVES lung function and increases lung capacity IN SPITE of the myriad of studies AND common sense that says otherwise you go right ahead. But of course that's not your goal. Your goal is to keep promoting pot usage and contributing to the downfall of western civilization.
