  • California went from constitutionally protected legal cannabis access in 100% of the State under Prop 215, to 24% under Prop 64. If this is your idea of progress, you are part of the problem. To the rest of the Country, when Corporate Cannabis seeks to deny you the right to grow at home, their efforts are not about freedom or building a better America. It’s about exploitation, by the State and their newly licensed Corporate Oligarchy. #wfwp #wfwproject #wfwp2019 #accessmatters #nugl #nuglife

  • “The Weed for Warriors moniker might at first glance seem playful and even ironic; after all, it’s stated mission is providing weed to soldiers. Make no mistake though, this group means business. WFWP is operating at multiple levels to ensure that veterans get access to cannabis to alleviate the physical and psychological pain that afflicts them, and are working to close more of the gaps that an agency like that VA simply cant fill. Through their support networks, advocacy and entrepreneurial initiatives they lead by example. And they are well respected for their authentic approach to service –there is no question their mission on the home-front is as serious as their military battles. In fact, as in the battlefield, it’s still a matter of life or death. Cannabis, according to everyone we spoke to, was their life saver, and claims of cannabis normalizing and calming emotions were made throughout our conversations. In one instance, we had a profound conversation with a wife and veteran, Kim Yarbrough, where she stated profoundly that “Cannabis helped bring my husband back. ‘Til that point, he was not the same.” Kim’s husband Neil Yarbrough had been prescribed up to 28 pills at one point. His military service took an immense toll on his mind and body. After his transition home, his world was turned upside down and he hit rock bottom when he attempted suicide. Once he turned to cannabis though, things changed, and finally for the better. He has a tattoo of the numbers “22” to remind him that he has 22 brothers and sisters that commit suicide everyday and he could have been one of them. But his strength and the love and support around him allow him to be here today. Now he is WFWP success story, enjoying the fellowship of his co-members, and of course his wife Kim, who remains happy to have her husband back.”. #wfwp #wfwproject #wfwp2019 #nugl #justnuglit #cannabis #savinglives (Read the whole story by clicking on the link in the profile ⬆️⬆️above⬆️⬆️)
  • Cannabis tax dollars in action! No money for childhood education, no money for healthcare, no money for the homeless. Lot's of money for the police unions!! Prop 64 is a jobs program the police unions love and licensed cannabis businesses need because neither serve the public. California's cannabis market, serving privileged pot heads and ramping up the war on the poor since 2016! California Attorney General, @agbecerra ... the black market isn't the problem, a dysfunctional legal market is. Fix your shit before financing a war on the poor!!! 🛑Stop #xavierbacerra ‘s #waronthepoor and #waronvets #wfwp #wfwproject #wfwp2019. . . . #Repost @sean_kiernan_wfwp ———————————————————————— “Three years after Californians decided to legalize and license marijuana farms, state law enforcement raids this year seized nearly 1 million pot plants from illicit grows, a jump from last year highlighting that the black market remains a persistent problem." #fubar all over again 🤦🏻‍♂️
