Maybe somebody should start collecting, identifying and carefully storing heirloom seeds.

Just in case.

Why would signing an online petition advocating legalization of marijuana be considered incriminating? It’s lawful to discuss changing our laws, our legislators do it all day long.

Advocating for law change is NOT a suspicion of breaking the law.

If it were, every legislator who stood up in Congress proposing a change to any of our laws would immediately be arrested on suspicion of violating the law. And that would be absurd.

Today’s advocates of marijuana law reform are no different from those who advocated for alcohol law reform during the alcohol prohibition. Those people are viewed as heroes today, just as today’s marijuana law reform advocates will be viewed as heroes by the generations that follow us.

The marijuana prohibition is an expensive, ineffective, and harmful waste of taxpayer’s money. Its effect on society is on par with prohibiting tobacco – it *doesn’t* stop people from using the stuff, it encourages dealers to operate out of our schools, it makes it dead easy for kids to buy, and it funnels **billions** of dollars every year to the Mexican drug cartels who use this money to corrupt their police and government officials and to brutally murder thousands of people.

Advocating against this policy is a moral and conscientious thing to do.

You can never be too careful once you start growing, FITS.

Vetting everybody, even retro-vetting, wouldn’t be a bad idea.

[Hyper-vet anyone that went to law school.]

Pete,

We hear you. And the threats against Sic Willie have definitely intensified the larger his audience has become.

It is what it is. We have taken precautions.

I know who “they” is but I’m not telling. I have children who need a father and a wife who needs a husband. Willie, some of these folks out there are mean and they don’t like you. Buckle up.

What a gal, that Polls!

What about some of Mands’ “precious moments” … or is she squeaky clean?

Hmmm.
