When you don’t stand up for your freedoms, you are to blame when they are taken away. If you find your child in jail later in life due to some BS marijuana charges, it will be our generation who is to blame for not getting laws reformed. 860,000 people got arrested for weed last year in the USA. The likelyhood that your kid will be a part of those statistic is extremely high in the USA. You can’t blame me. Im doing everything that I can to fight for civil rights!
I am in tears watching this today. Very very happy tears.
This is literally the result of millions of humans over thousands of years working together for the betterment of our species, our world and OUR UNIVERSE!!
This shows them entering orbit. 32 trips to space! 15000 MPH!!!!!! Good job Atlantis! What an amazing feet in collective human cooperation!
This is why we like to recontribute software that we work on, to an open source community. Our dispensary software upgrades being released freely and publicly at www.emeraldpos.com is part of our commitment to further human advancement by collectively contributing to a common goal beneficial to all mankind.
There isn’t much comparison between what I do, and what NASA is doing. But I like thinking about how one human invention inspired another. Making source easy to work with, and easy to modify by leaving it open source is VERY important to us.
Again, good job Atlantis, good job NASA, good job humankind!
I love how this lady moved to Seattle, and now refuses to be fake. But totally fesses up to being fake when she lived in Utah. Strange! But I see this in my class mates too.
When I grew up, I said EXACTLY what was on my mind. I didn’t try to fit in. I tattooed my body with dumb tattoos when I was 12 to express myself, so that people wouldn’t have to guess about me
.
I grew up with fake people. In the shadows my mom and dad would smoke their cigarettes and drink their coffee, sometimes with an occasional trip to the casino and some alcohol.
But we were not allowed to talk about their chain smoking, or their casino trips. My parents went to church, my mom taught primary classes for the kids. During the break between sunday school and sacrament, my mom would book it down the street so she could take a few drags and then rush back to church spraying perfume all over her and popping a piece of gum in her mouth.
Any mis-step by me (being the oldest and most prone to step out of the box), there would be serious consequences. Bringing attention to myself or our family was strictly forbidden. So of course it made me go even further with my acting out. LOL
But the irony, is the people who were close to me in school, who were so brave about their beliefs and opinions are the most meek, humble, quiet and FAKE people now.
It’s truly sad. I morn the loss of so many good friends that I once knew, but who now no longer exist.
There are some very special mothers in my life, who forever changed my life in many positive ways.
For my grandmother who not only raised her kids, but also several of her grandchildren, including partially me.
She is also the same woman who directly saved my life more than once, and let me crash on her couch for years.
Without her I would have never been blessed by my wife’s love, as I would not be here.
My wife has been amazing to love me, support me and especially put up with me. Thanks to her mother for bringing her into this world, and teaching her about the realities and truths of life that most don’t typically understand.
Kimberly has been supporting me doing pot rallies, traveling to conferences and festivals, and being a part of the cannabis re-legalization movement for the last couple of years, not to mention my other causes and blogs over the last 8 years.
Kimberly hasn’t consumed cannabis in something like 6 years with very few exceptions. Despite that when I met her, I wasn’t toking and she was. Now our roles are reverse in that aspect, she doesn’t partake but she supports the cause and believes in the cause just as much as any toker I know.
Kimi allows our family to sacrifice for the shop and for all of the traveling that we do for these rallies to support the cause.
Despite investing all of the money that we had saved into opening Emerald Sun Inc, Kimi supports passing out I-1068 shirts. We sell a few, then we give a few away, and overall we’ve given away more then we have sold. Our desire is to get the message out about cannabis, as re-legalization will improve the lives of all people, hands down. We believe our children will have a brighter future from utilizing this productive and amazing crop. (everyone will benefit from re-legalization)
Studies on marijuana curing cancer can proceed and get funding, as well as other medicines made from cannabis. But most importantly is that re-legalizing cannabis will restore SOME of our freedoms that we have lost in this country. The government shouldn’t dictate what we put in our bodies.
My wonderful wife learned from her father and mother about cannabis and had her eyes opened to a lot of truth at a young age. One of the many things that I love about her is that she is conscious and intelligent. She thinks for herself and she is strong in her convictions.
Lord knows I would love to be able to toke with my wife, like when we first got married. But Kimi doesn’t even take aspirins usually. If she doesn’t need it for medicine, she doesn’t use it. She loves our daughters very much, and I know that a lot of her decision to not consume cannabis, has a lot to do with our children. She wants to be balance in our relationship, and give the kids things that I can not.
I love and respect her so much, and I am so grateful for her continued love and support. For me, our children, and for our sustainable future.
