58. Its not about the law Folks

Mon Apr 2, 2012, 01:53 PM

Apr 2012

Its about absolute Power here..
Think of it this way..
You and I are not paying Constituents..
We are good for one vote each and nothing more these days..
He who has the most money wins in Politics today..
So Corporations are in this and it is not for the Peoples benefit..
From the Big Drug Companies like Bayer, the DEA itself, to the Alcohol Industry..
The DEA alone would loose 80% of its workforce if Cannabis was legal..
The Public once again was lied to by the Feds..
Last year the DEA entered California to shut down the so called Storefront Dispensaries as they were a blatant Violation of Federal Law..
Their words..
Today its Oaksterdam for educating the Patients..
Next is the Patients themselves..
Keep this in mind..
Those threats from the Feds are written and were sent to all the Officials in the State threatening all..
So for you all who believe patients collectives are in violation of law..
You are wrong in you perception..
In essence the Feds are strong arming us the People in every way possible including Local and State Politics which is Illegal by Federal law..
So its not about compliance.. it about eradication and persecution..

The American Government never ever admit when its wrong.. EVER...
Just look at the The Vietnam War...
