..before I address you Democratic Senators and Governors, allow me to issue a few words of consolation to our Republican leaders.... I told you about pandering to the base without delivering. I told you the Iraq war was a mess and I told you it would bite you back. I told you trampling civil liber

I can't find any additions made to Californian tax code providing instruction on the taxation of Marijuana. - Me This is relevant, as it is via the tax code Henry Anslinger (our first drug czar) affectively made marijuana illegal.

The statue toppling was a staged photo op, jennifer1. Yaseen and 'his people' may seem 'fickle' to you, jennifer1, but they didn't ask for our involvement - we gave it. With or without their consent.

Yes, Bluedev, it's a real conundrum; make it so everyone can enjoy your blog and suffer anon trolls or voluntarily limit it? MM: That's the shit! Sooo funny!

Damn, I can't edit post #35. Here's how it should read: This is an authoritarian system that could have been borne out of the War Commissions Act if it hadn't preceeded it. It denies private citizens appropriate inalienable rights for the 'good of all'. What hogwash!

I don't know a thing about the system the State of California may have set up but I don't have any information about it. I don't know how cannabis dispensiaries are run, what licensing one must obtain to run one, or how or what one buys for how much leading one to wonder how it is taxed. I'm fuzzy on whether these groups are run more as private businesses that buy from the state or if they are run wholly by the state or contracted out as third parties. No matter, thanks for

It's a Radical party, and Authoritarian party. - Cycloptichorn Maybe not radical, but definently Authoritarian - not that anyone can forget to give credit to the other party that voted with Republicans the majority of the time with the majority of their members on the majority of the bills passed in the last few years. Is there a real choice for change?

s far as the ss question, i was curious to what that was about, and you explained it nicely. i believe ss is a messed up system overdue for some reform, both in policy and practice. but again, that's another subject for another time. - Sean Check out Gideon Macleish's blog for accounts of his experience with the CPS. http://gideon-macleish.joeuser.com/index.asp?AID=121811 http://gideon-macleish.joeuser.com/index.asp?AID=121648 http://gideon-macleish.joe

Marijuana is in fact taxed, and that is a fact as shown by the Compasion Act of '96. - Xythe The Act added Section 11362.5 to the California Health and Safety Code, that's it. I can't find any additions made to Californian tax code providing instruction on the taxation of Marijuana. I am very curious as to if 'wellness' is truly being shared (as they say at the Website) at NWG or if it is sold . If it is sold then one could say it is being taxed via sales

I dont see that all marijuana laws are unreasonable, but I do see in many places they are becoming very reasonable. - Xythe In Missouri, marijuana charges are not taken in by any municipal court except in Columbia (pop. 70,000 home of the Mizzou Tigers). Because of this, all marijuana charges are sent directly to the county courts which look at posession as a criminal infraction. The first charge of marijuana possession of less then 35 grams can land someone in jail for ten day

The biggest problem with the 'legalize and tax' approach is that Marijuana can't be exclusively manufactured by the government. Once that cat (or seed) is out of the bag, people will ignore highly taxed Marijuana cigarettes in favor of their own homegrown. Laws can be passed only allowing possession for government sanctioned smoke (watch RJ Reynolds land the no-bid contract for manufacturing the pre-rolled legal green) but do we want to give police yet another reason to invade our ve

Many people have said that Iraq is simply the 'right' biting the 'left' back for their unfullfilling Vietnamese experience. ModerateMan sheds a bit of light on how this has became a recurring battle between left / right and pro-vet / anti-vet in his JU thoughts. It's a bit scary Mr. Kissinger has practically come back from the past to guide this naive president. Stay the course - it'll be fine. I wish McNamara would jump out the shadows and club 'em.

A now eighteen-year old who attended Lewis and Clark Middle School in 2002, here in Jefferson City, Missouri, recently shared her 'lockdown' stories with me. She stated that they became so frequent some students made 'Lewis and Clark Middle School INMATE' shirts. The shirts became banned after the first day of students wearing them. What the fuck are we teaching students? Stand in line with your barcoded picture id for free school lunch then "LOCK DOWN!" "LOCK DOWN!" "LOCK

Mr. Limbaugh would be more concise in stating the difference between himself and Mr. Wardell is not amateur v. professional, but rather, commercial v. public commentator. Mr. Limbaugh possibly wishes for the day he was a frequent blogger spreading his free word to the wind of the web as opposed to a radio jockey chained to a dwindling base of true believers he must care for and nurture.
