Hi Lea and GRVTYKLLR my co-Utahns and inerested co-readers.

I think You both live in Tooele County and Dugway Proving Ground. Dugway was my immediate job out of high-school as a clerk-stenographer.

My friend and I smoked a time or two way back then in 1973, yep, right there on the federal base. . . . . . tee-hee…I can remember being kind of spacey but I still did my job just fine.

I was just wondering what Your opinions are about the massive Utah crops’ of pot year after year.

Ophir Canyon $3M then LOL Garfield County with not one but two $6M crops a week apart from each other and not only that fact – about a mile apart from each other this past August.

Where were the helicopters like Chopper Five for the local news and the D.E.A. scoping it out?

How do a couple of dusty individuals run away all of the time escaping Utah’s Death Penalty for such a crime?

How does anyone accumulate so many seeds? It seems to me like there would have to be alot of huge gunny-sacks o’ seeds coming from somewhere, someway, huh.

KSL.com had some awesome comments from Salt Lake peeps and right there demonstrates the Truth about the matter.

Weed is and always has been and always will be around would You agree? This ancient and sacred seed will never be eradicated from this green earth so when will Uncle Sam realize the mistaken identity of this so-called war on drugs.

I’m sure glad Oregon is on the move and the rest of Great Americans such as You Lea and You GRVTYKLLR (cute)!

Here is some encouraging informatin concerning marijuana’s medical effacy, from http://www.cannabis-med.org:

***Science: Inflammation of the brainResearchers of Temple University in Philadelphia, USA, demonstrated in experiments with nerve cells that activation of the CB1 receptor reduces the concentration of the pro-inflammatory substance tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and may protect nerve cells from inflammation following injury or during neurodegenerative diseases.

Actually Lea, I can narrow down to very few places where you live.
Tha military vs civilian ratio does that for me.
My number one guess is that your about 40 minutes west of me.
If you got a plan, I am in.

Lea or #5 comment if you prefer.

Utah? legalized MJ??
are you shittin me?!
Even if Obama said OK its legal, states can choose, no more federal interference, Utah would be increase penalties.
I can not see this ever happening in Utah.
I am all for it, I do speak out for it, and would love to see this happen.
Tell me,
what are you doing? how do you hope to bring this about in such a controlled conservative state?
More importantly, what can I do to help?
No idea where you live in utah, but Im about 30 minutes west of Salt Lake City.
The fact that the chances are worse than a snowballs chances in hell, do not make it a cause not worth championing.

Re: Personal Use Cultivation Permit

In California your Personal Use Cultivation Permit is you Physician’s Recommendation. You can either grow your own, or join a collective/cooperative…the only two recognizable entities in the state.

All obama has to do is force the dept of health and human services to implement the petition to reschedule marijuana from schedule one to schedule three. He can do it with the stroke of a pen. Suddenly doctors can perscribe marijuana. after that the whole house of prohibition should come tumbling down.
HHS has had the petition since 2004. There is no excuse for delay other than the ideology of prohibition. We should force Obama’s hand. Is his Administration based on logic and science or isn’t it? His response will tell the tail.
The active ingredient thc is listed as schedule 3. The whole plant is listed as schedule 1. This is ridiculus! That is like saying the alcohol in whiskey is safe for a doctor to perscribe but the color and water are too dangerous to use for any reason. Science- Idon’t think so!

R.O.E. 23 and Lea 29-
A brave stance, denying yourself so that you may better serve others.
There will be a lot of different versions of “legalized” explored as this discussion goes forward, and with that in mind I’m interested in any feedback anyone might offer on my favorite, a Personal Use and Cultivation permit, let’s say $100 per year for a permit to grow a dozen plants. Split the proceeds between the Federal government and the State(s) that participate in the program.
It kills the profit incentive for the drug cartels, keeps Big Tobacco out of the picture, and connects marijuana use to the public treasury in a positive way (just like taxes on alcohol, tobacco, and most other products in America).
Is this a plan that people can get behind? What would make it better? All comments welcome!
