Standing in the street and on top of an old hippy VW. KSBW has several pictures on it’s site. Three out of the 5 are not even from Monterey. And one dog. They are not winning my sympathy.
Members of a Monterey cannabis club held a demonstration Monday afternoon, protesting a recent court order that prohibits them from dispensing medical marijuana at 554 Lighthouse Ave.
“We are trying to raise the public’s awareness in a positive manner,” Rowland said of the protest.
I am one of the members of the Co Op and I can tell you that closing the one provider in the area is a shame and a scam on the city managers side. You say that many of the people that are protesting are not even from the area – well, since monterey county is fairly large and this is the only one of its kind that is anywhere close by, of course you will have people that travel here to support us. As of now, I have to travel up to Santa Cruz or purchase my medicine on the street, neither of which is an effective or safe solution. As well, if you spent a little more time at the protest you would find many more people that are locals that spent hours there picketing (myslef, a PG resident included) The horrible part of this is that the city admits that it has no legal grounds to force them off the property yet they are trying to rezone the city in a means to prevent it. To many, Marijuana has become an herbal remedy that is preferred over taking chemicals (Tylenol, ibuprophen, Doans) as it has less side effects. If you consider Tylenol (acetominophen) for example, the FDA just came out a year ago demonizing its side effects as causing death and internal organ failures. Ibuprophen is knows to cause many issues with the stomach and in many cases causes nausea and ulcers. If I feel that a natural substance can replace all of those, why would I not prefer it over the unsafe alternatives? Then you get on to very very serious issues such as MS, Epilepsy, Cancer, AIDS, etc., there are many members of the Co Op that have life threatening illnesses and they are not being forced to go to Santa Cruz as well to get there medicine. That would be like telling someone that needed surgery that if they can just get to New York they can get the procedure no questions asked. That does not sound like offering life, liberty or the pursuit of hapiness to me. It is hard to pursue life and happiness when you are sick or in pain and can not get a plant that a doctor has recommended to you. Instead we have to have more politicians tell us what to do???? This does not make any sense.
When my medical insurance offers to pay for weed I’ll take it serious. I noticed you posted the exact same reply twice on different articles. Only need to reply once if there is nothing new to say.
And that wall of text is hard to read. Break it up a bit.
Consider not posting on the site while on your “meds”.
What kind of biased administrator are you?? Obviously you are using this site to pump out your corrupt local politics. Do us all a favor and go take your addictive prescription drugs and wash them down with some alcohol that you voted against paying 5 cents more for. Do some research you ignorant old fool, then you might understand why Ordway can’t dispense medical cannabis. Now go back to your Hometown Bullatin.
Natasha, come down out of your THC induced haze sweetie.
I’ve nothing against decriminalizing smoking weed. Read a few more articles and you will see the true bias here. Or do you need to run and get a joint before any aspect of your life?
Grow
youyour own. Don’t make the pushers rich.i agree with admin that we should grow our own, and not make the “pushers” rich.
i don’t agree with admin that mike’s post was hard to read, but it appears that admin might be “medicated” himself/herself, given the stated decriminalization bias… admin’s frequent typos and poor sentence structure also suggest an impairment of some kind.
admin’s greatest ignorance shows in that there are simply no pushers at mycaregiver. some of the members that can grow, grow. some cannot (admin: would you like to tell one of our quadriplegic members to smugly “grow you own [sic]”? probably not!). we help those who can grow get the medicine to those who can’t, and make sure the growers (just other members!) are compensated so they can keep helping out. period. who’s the pusher in this scenario?
admin: your one-liners are no replacement for real posts or opinions.
Chris, find the shift key. You’re not looking good with no caps.
Is it your “meds’ or is it “art”?
