I find it proper I weigh in
Lets first look at the truth. The vast majority of
marijuana, (Weed) in Springfield is sold illegally. Millions of dollars. Much
of this comes from underground.
"It has made it into the middle schools, and other
drugs is bad of late" Quote from a teacher. Springfield
Do we want to keep locking people up and feeding the jail
needs, the "drug war" or simple begin to use the vast amount of these
funds to create programs for kids at risk , and to help those members who have
been caught up and need help getting back into community. Millions $ in Weed.
We are looking at the possible end of a social war, a way for the whole
community to grow, and one last thing
since no one is saying it. The Underground people who have done this for years
and are the best at it. Can they come forth and become legal. Why you ask? Is
it not obvious? Everybody wants their kids to have a better life than they did.
If you can get these Underground/illegal growers, factions, whatever to come above ground. Hmmm maybe
crime would lesson over all.
Maybe the possibility of a better community and the funds to
make it happen is sitting right here in our face every day. Millions$ Money
flying every day.
Now done with the elephant in the room.
Medically, those who suffer the most are helped by this
product and can give them a financial bonus of 100$ a month. Why because they
don't buy it illegal anymore with the little funds they have and have care
givers provided needed amount 1 oz at least if not 2oz. (I grew as a young man
so I know what you can do as a grower. I
am also a graduate of Drug court 2007, so I weigh in a very direct fashion.)
This extra money then goes into the community as they come out of their homes
and spend their money in community businesses. This medical marijuana is an
ability for those on SSI, SSD, Poor in pain, so many so much, millions$. It is
going on right now as has for 50 years. Time to flip the table, and send
everyone home. I have buried too many friends, 63 people in 2006, 72 people
in 2007' I sat and watched still,
knowing, the gangs grow, the cost of weed has gone down by 50% in ten years,
just like the cost of coke in the 80's went down after 5 years in the drug war.
So we stand a t a cross roads now.
We need to all stop and make sure this is done right.
Millions of dollars for programs. Can you imagine, a recreation dept that was
covered by these funds, teaching kids, music, art, nature, science, whatever
someone has to give, and then use the funds to re-open forest work camp, with a
treatment approach included. Pay for policing of real crimes, person to person,
thefts, even reopen beds so we don't let killers go one rampages... a little
tough but Lane Corrections 35% empty.
Remember I said let the underground guys come above ground.

"Reconciliation" of the streets of America, one street, one city, one

ReplyDeleteThe Myths of Smoking Pot by Ruth Marcus. June 26th 2014

Yeah, I can read.
It says lock people up.
Yes drugs are used as weapons against cultures.
It says keep building the animal corrections and not create prevention and treatment like the rest of the world is doing.
In fact lets lock up the people suffering, and if the try to stand on their rights like illegal search, look you dumb nigger that looks like pot is what the cop said after they beat me 25 years ago. all that is okay is what she said. It is okay not to look for a solution and a way of creating better prevention and treatment.

Good move Springfield.
ReplyDeleteYou know what personal pride is, it is when you can say to your self that you don't have to hide.
We hid because we smoked, 30 years outlawed, warred against, imprisoned, our children either dying, going to prison, few and fewer made it out, it was that way. 70% of the poor went this path, lost their lives, lost their community, lost their friends, the truth of what happened in 84' how we lost our way as one, and then the kids, our kids, so I write for them, I write so they will rise, so they can be to Lions in the new America where we are no longer going to turn out back on the suffering, on the truth. That is why I speak. Now there is a new pride, something rising. Keep the whole concept pure, the money is for the kids of the broken families, the family members who were collateral damage in this Drug War.
The money is for the kids so they can find something better than chasing the bag, the hustle. We made the American Gangster, and seems we should Reconcile the truth, have a set of "Clankers", a moral and ethical duty and say,
"This is America, Home of the Brave."
Blood money no more,
ReplyDeleteThis money, created here in America, no more blood money to grow communities, money given by the legalization of marijuana should pay for Treatment of collateral and direct damage of the Drug War and the other part of the thrust must be to create prevention programs and get kids involved. As THOR the Brother, the Biker, the Soldier the "Peaceful Warrior" this is the way home for many, and the end of suffering for many more. We Rise! Broken apart together We Rise Lions! THOR.
