Can You Hear Us Mr President?

I have no idea how I missed this. Marijuana growers have lost a truly great American. Due to complications from a heart attack, he never fully recovered, and passed away on April 15th, 2010.

Marijuana Growing – Jack Herer Dead: Marijuana Advocate ‘The Hemperor’ Dies at 70.

Detrioter’s really need this, due to the fact that all the car makers  shit-canning the workers. Marijuana will pull Detroit out of the red, and into the green.. no pun intended. If this does happen you mark my words, Detroit will be a entirely different place in 5 years.

This irks the crap out of me. Here you have good ole boy Sheriff saying in his opinion they should legalize it.  How much more proof will they need? Legalizing marijuana at a federal level will open up a whole new industry. From growers, to shops, to cafe’s. It’s job creation, it’s revenue.

The best part of the interview is midway, some chick goes ‘Oh I’m not involved’ You douchebag! Why the fuck are you hiking miles in the middle of nowhere and just happened to stumble upon a few thousand peolple smoking pot? Stop being a little priss, and be an adult. You’re there to smoke pot on 420.

Just a quick post to say happy 4/20 to everyone,  I hope you all have some good plans for today. Check out the 10 worse Public service announcements from ‘ihateeverything’.

420 is a recent slang of such. If you know what it means, chances are you’re not alone. There are a few very popular meanings that a lot of people actually believe. Are they true? Who knows? I’m going to let you believe what you want to believe. Leave a comment, what do you believe 420 means?

The Wikipedia version:

420, 4:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) refers to consumption of cannabis and, by extension, a way to identify oneself with cannabis drug subculture.

The term originated from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, United States in 1971.The teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue.

According to an April 2009 article on the The Huffington Post, the group called itself the Waldos because its members hung out by a wall after school. Writer Ryan Grim, citing interviews with anonymous Waldos, claims that the group met by the statue at 4:20 p.m. to begin a search for a crop of abandoned cannabis growing near Point Reyes that they had heard about. They never found the stash, Grim writes, but smoked plenty of marijuana while looking for it.

Urban Dictionary:

The term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. Intent on developing their own discreet language, they made 420 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation.

Adolf Hitler was born! Not a very good way to think about 420. But this is true. Adolf Hitler was directly responsible for killing millions of Jews in the 1930′s & 40′s. He however died on fire, how great, how ironic. As Eddie Izzard has said, and said rather well; “Hitler ended up in a ditch covered in petrol on fire… so, that’s fun. I mean that’s funny. Because he was a mass-murdering fuck-head!”

In Washington state they are pushing a law for legalizing and producing marijuana legally. This guy Douglas Hiatt authored the bill. At the end of the interviewer had a smug question that he maturely answered. You people need to stop lying about it. Why not be open about it?

Ok So I was wrong about these bills being finished. When the sub-committee ‘tabled’ the bill, it just means that the sub-committee wasn’t going to vote on it. So the bills now go back to the full house for a vote. Now is the time to be emailing your delegates. You can get all the email addresses for the Courts of Justice on my previous post here. Email them, call them, and show up to their office. If you’re tired of sneaking around, now’s your time to speak up about it. Without your delegates knowing what you want, how can you complain when you don’t get what you want?

It looks like the bills are going to be squashed. The bills were ‘tabled’ I didn’t know exactly what it meant. I just Google’d it, and this is what it came up with….

Table a Bill:
Motions to table, or to “lay on the table,” are used to block or kill amendments or other parliamentary questions. When approved, a tabling motion is considered the final disposition of that issue. One of the most widely used parliamentary procedures, the motion to table is not debatable, and adoption requires a simple majority vote.

In the Senate, however, different language is sometimes used. The motion may be worded to let a bill “lie on the table,” perhaps for subsequent “picking up.” This motion is more flexible, keeping the bill pending for later action, if desired. Tabling motions on amendments are effective debate-ending devices in the Senate.

Sounds like to me that it’s going to die. It was a great attempt for Mr. Morgan. Way to go sir!

So the subcommittee on crime is meeting. I’ve tried to find a feed on it without any luck. As far as I know they started at 3pm EST.  And Delegate Morgan had quite a few bills ahead of him. Once I know something, I’ll let you know.
