One way to make the "scum"'s work more difficult is to '"P R O L I F E R A T E"' ~ encourage as many peeps as possible to '"O P E N"' ~ every shop raided should be replaced w/"2" new stores ,while the raided recuperate before reopening ~

It's important for the City's budget committee to "real time" the 'futility' of 'eradication' ~ that is all

[colitis_patient]

what are cops good for? they are never there when you need them.

911 is a joke in your town to quote flava flav. What's the response time in your neighborhood? the government's job is not to protect you. That is your responsibility.

Fuck the police coming straight from the underground..

Now is too late. Trutanich and Cooley saw all 75 people who had any concern about this issue. They had enough cops at their meeting to handle it right then and take all 75 people who give a rats ass about the issue in for questioning. Now is too late. If there were more people that cared about this issue it may concern them, but in a community of millions 75 care about the issue and the other (millions less 75, do the math yourself) have absolutely no concern about the issue. Was good to see the new faces, I missed Richard, so that means in the last two years 26 more people have converted and support medical marijuana and now we have 75. Yeah, 75, we are talking progress, in only two years we went from 50 to 75 people who actually care about MMJ. In my opinion only one dispensary would be necessary to accomodate all of them. Please Trutanich make an exeption for us 75 to get our meds somehow, and like they do not care about us, we (the 75) should not care about them. How can anyone argue with that.

Why would 75 people need hundred of dispensaries, they don't.

This may help. Lots of information and lots of ways to make contact.




I can't believe I just saw a member quote flava fav in this matter

I agree, I would have came down but I couldn't get out of work in time. Thanks for the big group of 75 that made it. :)

I went and it was a good protest. It's wrong to guilt-trip people who didn't go, that is an old tact. Each one of you who did not attend, please dazzle us with the amount of letters you send to the D.A., City Attorney, and City Council. I have nothing but love for all patients. It's time to get busy, and CREATIVE. Anyone with contacts to local organizations need to get the word out that Cooley and Trutanich want to waste money at a critical time. Lets embarras the shit out of these failed culture warriors!!!

This statement I will make here is definitly in my own self interest but also my real opinion ....

if any of this is true and will happen patients should stock up on seeds and clones to be prepared to go on in a self sustaining way.

Not everyone can but those patients that can should be prepared.

The majority of us don't or can't grow.

Re: What do we do now, dispensaries???

Well what should you do when the threat of theft, force and fraud has been issued against you (war)?

Prop. 215 clearly implies that local gov. are encouraged to set up a means for safe access to mmj, and if a city has issued bussiness lic. etc. for over the counter storefront disp. then this also is clearly within the spirit of prop. 215/the law.

Self defense is your right and duty against a criminal group of thugs who thinks there theorys and opinions can be forced upon others with/at the barral of a gun.

Why not? I receive shares on a regular basis and do very little work. In fact the most work I do is trim my share. I do contribute though, in my own way. I am Cannabank, haha. I supply equipment, nutrients, medium (a soilless mix) and plants. Last month I received two OG plants from a garden by only providing rooted clones and benny's along with skills and know-how.

A revisit two weeks later to teach all the other members how to clone resulted in people with clones and experience. Two months later, I received two OG plants. I was offered some of the clones, but I have another source for those so I declined. I advised what to do to set up for the next grow, received a call two weeks later for clarification and I am no longer associated with that collective, they operate on their own. My share trimmed out at four ounces. To defray some of my costs (haha what costs oh the benny's) I offered some to a dispensary, the owner kept it as personal.

Today I received a four plant share GDP, currently in a water cure. For this share I provided clones, a light, soil, a fan and benny's. I have to answer questions, I mean its so hard to deal with. In 10 weeks I expect another four plant share. At that time I will no longer have any more interest in the lights, the fan or anything else and will no longer be associated with that group either. I feel like I have to find more prospects in order to insure a constant supply. I had another but he thought I was getting too much for doing so little(he was right, haha), so he bought me out and returned the used equipment.

Generally when I supply $1000. in supplies and equipment I receive six ounces twice and the equipment back. (they always want to give me back that used equipment and eliminate me from the collective, I understand why)

Currently I have too much excess equipment, but most of it needs to be repaired. If I find the need I will get it repaired and use it for a share.

Not all grows turn out as well as others, I had a three plant share last week that I would not even smoke. I bubble baged it, threw the most of the concentrates in some Olive Oil and later made some salad dressing. It was terrible, tasted great, but I could not do anything for a few hours, totally couch locked. The remainder of the Oil was used for brownies, some dressing still remains. It worked out bad for me, sure I got some hash and some tainted oil, but I was wanting 6 ounces or so after all I provided a used light and some clones. I blame myself for hardly ever doing anything with that grow.

I used to go by another name (back in 2005) but the name was hijacked by another when that collective was ordered by the City to stop growing as a condition for them allowing and regulating it as a dispensary at that location where the name is still being used.

Anyone with a recomendation can join a collective (a real one). If someone is really sick, they should appoint a caregiver to do the work in their stead for the share. Collectives always need people to provide labor, but not everyone has to participate in the exact same way. I would like to get associated with a collective that has a trimmer associated with it, that would make even less work for me.

Last year I was a member of collectives in four california counties. The one out of state collective I was associated with earlier this year did not work out too well unless you include the two all expense paid visits to that grow. Times Square was nice, but I do not understand calling that place down the road a garden.

You have grower and co-op owner connections. The vast majority of us don't, unfortunately. I don't bend over well, my back and neck are fused. I honestly don't know what I could contribute other than money.

I am being told by people that if all LA co ops go down you will just have to go to a co op in Santa Monica cause its not a part of la county

anyone know if this is for real I know That Santa Monica is its own city
but is it not a part of LA county if you know please respond

[Greenbud]

For those 75-100 who showed up, thanks.

But for real, how many WT's are out there that decided to do what was necessary to attend. What about the 30,000 estimated MMJ patients in LA who likely knew about this event but did not care to attend? Guilt trip or not, this kind of lame shit did not go on during the 60's activism. People gave enough to show up in force. Had there been 10,000 people everyone would have noticed. There would have been a smoke-in in the 60's. As much as I yelled and ranted 75-100 makes us look like weak and ineffective and without real support.

Now we will all get a scare. The raids will likely start within the week unless ASA or GLACA can do something to stop the nonsense.

There will be arrests and violence. Patients may be harmed or arrested too.

They will start, and it's just my opinion, with all the ones already denied hardship. Or they could go old school and start with the pre-ICO's just to send a message. I think no one is safe right now and with all due respect, not enough WT really care unless it's the same 100 or so who are doing all the postings. Can there really be so few patients on WT who saw the ad? The numbers don't mesh. Either there really are few of us in the MMJ community or once again, no one gave enough shit about the issue to attend with so much at stake and with so much advance notice.

Like all the other protests, the same old faces and hardly any of the youth which you see at the dispensaries. The youth have to carry this banner!

How many dispensaries closed their doors yesterday and actually showed up to defend their livelihoods?

That is why we fail. The lack of patient support and dispensary equals zero unity for the actual numbers involved. Those truly unable to attend know who you are but even accounting for those people, the numbers on this site I see everyday to me suggests there should easily have been a thousand protesters out there yesterday.

I'm sure there will be another opportunity to show unity in the future. Usually it takes a really big scare like the purge we about to undergo to get people off their asses and that's what we're all facing unless ASA or another entity can talk sense into out politicians. Get ready for the Pogroms!

Let's make a DARE. Want to send a real message?

A protest in front of the DA office 10/20/09?

How many WT's will show up if announced to the Ying Yang like the banner that ran for weeks on WT for this poorly attended event? How many dispensaries, now faced will real danger, will activate, close for the day, and attend a protest.

I'm there. Let me know when and where. But I and the others can't do it alone. We need help and it takes a community to make a difference.

Fight on!!

Co-ops are banned in Santa Monica, mostly because there are hundreds nearby. I doubt anything will change their mind, Santa Monica is flushed with cash from all the businesses that reside there.

You could find a small out of the way commercial property for rent and let a few other patients help you out. Get started while you can still get clones from dispensaries, or find someone with ready plants. If you got money, you got what you need, others with good backs can do the work, some will be glad to work for a share, be sure to get a large enough share so that you can have enough for yourself and other patients that would like to reimburse you for your contribution, or find other financial contributors. I would be glad to provide skills and know-how and benny's for a share, thats how I get my medicine. As soon as you know what you are doing, you can kick me to the curb, no hard feelings as long as it is in between grows. Before too long you will have others asking where you get that dank and you can use the skills you've acquired to get shares here and there. It is a great feeling to help others especially when you are also helping yourself get the medicine you prefer.

Two teenagers at home and a marriage that takes alot of work. Not to mention full time employment. I would prefer to donate my money to someone who can grow it for me. If forced, I may have to try your method. Thanks for the discussion.
