Please do not support the proposed THC/DUI Bill
Open Letter to Legislators on the THC/DUI bill: I am a social scientist and PhD candidate at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where I have been engaged in research on cannabis for several years. In 2012, Colorado passed Amendment 64 to “regulate marijuana like alcohol.” Since marijuana regulation is new, it makes sense to [...]
EXECUTE THE CORPORATIONS
The permanent people, as I like to call corporations, are immortal, unlike the temporary citizens: that is, flesh and blood people. And as I facetiously discussed, they thus have more interest in America’s long-term than the temporaries. But in the past few months a number of corporations including Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo [...]
How out of touch with reality is Allison Holcomb?
In a recent article in The Nation, The Colorado Cannabis Factor, authors Alyson Martin and Nuhin Rashidian argue that cannabis advocacy in Colorado could determine the results of the presidential election. Meanwhile, however, some cannabis advocates won’t admit that Obama is to blame for federal prosecutors’ actions or that the crackdowns defy the Ogden memo, which discouraged U.S. attorneys [...]
DON’T WASTE YOUR VOTE, PART II
I’m campaigning and voting for Roseanne Barr for President. She favors the Bill of Rights rather than the security state, is for the legalization of marijuana, opposes wars, is pro-environment and is concerned about people rather than the corporate state. Roseanne is a funny woman. And to be a good comedian you must be very [...]
DON’T WASTE YOUR VOTE
There are only ten states where your vote counts. The swing states in play are Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin. In all the other the states the vote isn’t even close. For instance, in my state, California, Obama is beating Romney among likely voters 53-35 percent. So [...]
Counties Can Kidnap Your Baby Legally
I’m not what you would call a sentimental guy. It takes a lot for me to become so upset with a situation that I lose it. But I had to turn off an audio recording I was listening to. I have not finished listening to it yet. If you are interested in determining whether [...]
Harborside Harrassment
Try as I may, I just don’t understand the Obama regime’s antipathy to medical marijuana. You would think that since medical marijuana is more popular than he is, that he would embrace it as a vote-getter. It would also re-enthuse the young PayPal-savvy posse he gathered four year ago. So why doesn’t he do it? [...]

Richard Lee, Oaksterdam and the Feds – HAPPY 420!
Probably everybody who is reading this blog has seen the Kony 2012 video that went viral, amassing 28 million hits in its first day. When we say “viral”, we think of something spreading instantaneously over a wide swath of demographics. However, some things spread more like cancers. They don’t necessarily infect a large swath of people, [...]
