Tommy Chong Wants to Regulate Marijuana Like Wine PDF Print E-mail
Tommy Chong
Monday, 03 October 2011 13:51

Grapes & WeedSteve Kubby's Regulate Marijuana Like Wine initiative is the best way to get the Feds off our backs. Treating weed like wine eliminates all the "what about the children" worries the Feds throw in our faces whenever we try to arrive at a decent solution regarding the pot laws. The truth is pot is available now in California for everyone who needs it through the medical marijuana approach in spite of the Feds' lame attempts to eradicate the compassion clubs. The DEA should be the ones who should disappear.

This gang of thugs have preyed upon pot growers and pot users way too long. They (the DEA) steal money and pot while acting under the protection of the U.S. government, sending thousands of peaceful, gentle potheads to prison for what really is a victimless crime. If we can get enough stable-minded voters to pass the Regulate Marijuana Like Wine initiative, most of the hassles will disappear. We're getting closer and closer each election cycle, and if we don't make it this time we will try and try again until we succeed. We have the time and the talent to make it happen now, but we need every pot-loving person on this planet to pitch in and help. Vote like you've never voted before.

If Dr. Ron Paul is made president he WILL legalize marijuana! In order for Dr. Paul to win, HE NEEDS THE PRIMARY. That's the toughest part. IF YOU WANT TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARY YOU HAVE TO BE REGISTERED REPUBLICAN. If you don't switch parties in time (3 months ahead in some states from now) YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE! Go to BLUEREPUBLICAN.ORG and register ASAP!

Repeal will not prevent monopolistic regulations or taxation from being put into place after repeal is voted in - only the wine model will prevent monopoly. Repeal does not ban GM cannabis - only the Regulate Marijuana Like Wine Act of 2012 will do that.

Cannabis is a medical miracle waiting to be fully utilized. It has been proven to kill cancer cells in lab tests without harming the healthy cells present. Dave Triplett (and others) have used cannabis oil (topically) to cure melanoma as he shows in this short movie.

Dennis Hill was diagnosed with prostate cancer and used cannabis oil (by ingestion) to cure himself.

Rick Simpson from Canada, who discovered the cannabis oil treatment, said he has seen hundreds of people over a period of six or seven years, and the results have been extremely favorable, including a number of stage 4 cancer patients. 70% of the stage 4 folks recovered, many of whom had been told by their doctors that there was nothing else to be done, and they should go home and get their affairs in order.

The prohibition on cannabis has been far more costly than just the tax dollars and lives ruined by incarceration. People are dying for lack of a cancer cure, and one seems to be clearly within reach.

Cannabis is NOT like wine! It's a plant, not a fermented product! Cannabis is like a grapevine - something you can grow and turn into other things, including but not limited to an intoxicant. Just like a grapevine, you can grow cannabis and use its leaves for raw juice that puts autoimmune diseases into remission. Just like a grapevine, you can grow cannabis for its "fruit" - the flowers - which can be used raw to make non-psychoactive cannabis glycerites and tinctures to treat a variety of illnesses. Just like a grapevine, you can grow cannabis and by HEATING its dried leafs and flowers to more than 300 degrees F, you can make a psychoactive intoxicant.

Well, if we can legally grow any other kind of plant - apples, pears, pumpkins, grapes, barley and more - and turn THEM into beer and wine for home consumption and WITHOUT being taxed, regulated and controlled - and we can - then why the heck should we have to pay to use cannabis in all these ways, too? We shouldn't. There are international treaties, signed by the U.S., that say we all have the RIGHT - not the revocable privilege - to grow plants for food and medicine. Only if we VOTE to GIVE UP THAT RIGHT do we legally lose it. RMLW is a trick to make you give up your RIGHT. Don't give up that right - enforce it. Vote to do away with California's illegal prohibition of cannabis by voting for Repeal Cannabis Prohibition 2012. Help end prohibition under state law by signing up with that group to help circulate its petitions to collect signatures to get Repeal Cannabis Prohibition 2012 on the ballot.

Don't "legalize" cannabis, liberate it! We have a basic human right, protected by international treaties, to grow plants for food and medicine. Cannabis ("marijuana") is a plant used for food and medicine; even so-called "recreational" marijuana is medicinal; it relieves stress, reduces anxiety, improves mood and is a preventative of cancer. Don't be tricked into giving up (by voting away) your right to grow this plant by voting to agree to be taxed, regulated and controlled for the "privilege" of something God gave you the right to do.

Vote for Repeal Cannabis Prohibition 2012 instead. It decriminalizes cannabis cultivation and possession for anyone 18 and older, but still allows minors to use cannabis with a doctor's recommendation. And it's free - no taxes, licenses or fines. Don't forget, when there are regulations, as with RMLW, there will be FINES to force you to obey them. We don't need no more stinkin' taxes, license fees or fines!

Prohibit GMO cannabis, take this government back, replace a moratorium on the patenting of life, seeds and DNA, THEN legalize cannabis for all its uses, regardless of THC content, (which has never killed anyone with a lethal overdose. Can we say the same for GMO cannabis?

Cannabis is a gateway... to health and prosperity for billions of earth’s inhabitants.

Cannabis is dangerous... to the oil industry, pharmaceutical industry, lumber industry, coal industry, cotton industry, tyrannical government, alcohol industry and many, many more special interests.

Monsanto already has terminator GMO cannabis seeds, legalize it, before you put the genie back in the bottle, and the number of strains the DEA has committed genocide on will pale in comparison to what GMO pollen could do to further "their" cause. Yes, the War on Drugs is a crime against humanity, but wouldn’t it be an even more catastrophic crime against all life to let "them" destroy the current diversity of the cannabis plant?

ALL NATURAL MATTERS, Prohibit GMO!

Tommy, like you I was fucked for marijuana. I did felony time in a small town county jail. DOC wouldn't take me cause I had no felony. I served two straight years in Montgomery County Jail in Indiana. Travesty of justice, violated all my civil rights and I can do nothing. Why? Oh and by the way, I hired that Steven Dillon guy with NORML. He went on their team. The prosecutor knew him. They were buddies. He told me not to sweat it!

Alcohol is made by a very natural process using living yeast, so technically God made both pot AND alcohol... but why the hell can't responsible adults put whatever natural made substance into his/her body that he/she wishes? If this passes I'm moving to California. Actually I may move there beforehand just so I can vote!

Here are my thoughts: It would be great if it were legalized nationally, tax-free even better, but if it must be taxed, place a fair modest tax on it. That tax money could be used too pay down the monstrous debt our people are facing, plus if it were legalized it would free up yearly wasted funds by the DEA. It would also free up many prison cells for the real criminals. I could really go on and on here, what with seeds pressed for fuel oil, etc. Wake up America! It's time to get back too our roots.

Love how moonshiners are like heroes and pot smokers are like devils. Total hypocrisy. It's all because pot comes from a different culture than ours. Isn't this America? What about all that freedom talk I hear all the time from the GOP? Less regulation, less control my @#@#. You mean more regulation. Prohibition just like alcohol we learned causes more problems. Look at the border, a creation of our own ignorance. Our fault but blame them anyway.

I am against taxing people for their use of medicine. Wine is taxed. All medicines should be against the law to profit from and taxed. It would take out all the greed doctors have in this country and people could finally get healed and not an object with dollar signs on it the that doctors can take advantage of.

But who would fill the prisons if pot was made legal? The prison industry would suffer. ; )

Man made whiskey, God made pot. Who do you trust? Somewhere on our money it says In God We Trust. Gen: 1:29 says it best. I know I have seen them pesky lil' seeds in many a sack. I've heard smokin' it is bad on our lungs, but yet we can buy cigarettes on a million corners. I would never have a problem takin' a brownie for the team. Works great in spaghetti too. Wanna give Tommy Chong many kudos!
