MJ in the D, legalization may be on november ballot

Now there's a use for urban prairies right there. If this builds steam beyond 1-ounce quantities it could become a big part of that new diversified economy for which everyone's been searching. Imagine Detroit holding a local monopoly on that market. Cha-CHING!

Exactamundo. Getting in on the ground floor of this inevitable change before every other state has could mean a lot for Michigan. Its going to be like the casinos without the addiction. Once one state finds a way to make money on it every state is going to try and make that crazy Vegas money. If we jump on board we could be to California what Atlantic City is to Vegas. I know thats a disgusting parallel but its the first that comes to mind and easiest to relate to.

20 yrs ago when I first started smoking I said that this would eventually happen, legalization that is [[Im so smart). The government could only hold up the smokescreen for so long. I love the idea of urban prairies full of stinky bright green and purple flowers. It would have to be behind fence no doubt but way better than nothin. Im not a smoker anymore but I still love that smell of quality unfired dumbass.

Im not sure how much hemp needs to be grown for a small business to turn it into one of the many uses it has. I believe Henry Ford was experimenting with making car bumpers out of hemp among other things.

Yesterday in fact I found out Jack Herer had died last month. He wrote a fascinating book called The Emperor Wears No Clothes. Its all about the plight of the marijuana plant and its criminalization starting in the 20s when the DuPont company saw hemp as a threat to their new plastics industry. They were successful in getting pot made illegal so that they could go on and make billions upon billions of throw away plastics. The hemp of course being its rival is biodegradable but was deemed a dangerous drug all because it made ppl kill and rape while under its unpredictable influence.

I was really sad to hear Jack Herer had passed. Back in about 1992 I was all starstruck an bugeyed one gorgeous sunny day in Eugene Oregon at a Grateful Dead show when I stumbled upon Jack. We burned one in his bus and he taught me about the importance of curing your herbs correctly.

Heres a link to the first chapter of the book The Emperor Wears No Clothes.
