  • OPINION: INCREASING ACCESS TO MEDICAL CANNABIS FOR VETERANS CAN BE A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH BY WEED FOR WARRIORS’ SEAN KIERNAN OCTOBER 31, 2019 - (link in profile above) #wfwp #wfwproject #wfwp2019 #patientsbillofrights ———————————————————————— “The online cannabis directory Weedmaps recently announced that they were going to stop accepting advertising from unlicensed cannabis businesses. Come January, once this has been fully implemented, I know veterans like myself and those I represent will still be faced with a lack of access to medical cannabis and will have to turn to other outlets like Google, Yelp and Craigslist to find unlicensed shops. I wish we didn’t have to go to illicit businesses, but local California politicians are turning their backs on us. Medical patients and advocates have always been the driving force for cannabis legalization in California, but medical collectives that provide low-cost or free medical cannabis to low-income patients have been forced to close their doors in response to heavy tax burdens created by legalization. This was a problem inherent in Proposition 64, and an oversight that drove myself and veterans like me not to support the measure although we vehemently advocate for legalization. Now, despite legalization, medical cannabis is actually harder for patients and veterans alike to access. Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed Senate Bill 34 (Wiener), and state Treasurer Fiona Ma also championed legislation to give veterans better access to cannabis. These bills serve as an important step forward to restore patient access, but in order to really expand access, the governor and Treasurer Ma ultimately need local governments to cooperate.” (Continued in comments)
  • Happy Halloween 🎃 👻💚 #wfwp #wfwp2019 #wfwproject
  • Well well well, the privileged have been caught with their hand in the cookie jar, and bravo 👏🏽🙌🏾 ✊🏽to the LA City Council’s @herbjwesson , the NAACP’s #alicehuffman and the @californiaminorityalliance for their efforts in fighting back against #corruption in #cannabis. A corrupted process benefits the privileged as they buy front of the line access, the hierarchy benefits by selling that access, and the working people who were arrested; they are left with a market that functions for everyone but them!! #riseup against the #oligarchy ✊🏽 #Repost @herbjwesson ・・・ This morning I sent a letter to the Department of Cannabis Regulation in regards to Phase 3 Retail Round 1 of the Social Equity Program.

  • Why isn't America's DRUG WAR one big ineffectual WAR CRIME? It has had no identifiable beneficial effect on addiction rates, we have an increasing overdoses rate, illicit drugs are more available and cheaper than ever, yet BILLIONS and BILLIONS spent yearly for what? Then look at the horror of our own judicial system's violence on so many poor communities while the rich kids got 30 day rehab vacations. As if those are not reasons enough to think ill of our dumb, hurtful policy called the Drug War, how much blood do we need Latin America to spill protecting America's users from their self. One last thing, let's remember, America's drug war is financing El Chapo's Son as Cartels need the Drug War to exist. #wfwp #wfwproject #wfwp2019 - #reposted @sean_kiernan_wfwp ———————————————————————— “Mexican officials cut loose the arrested son of notorious drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman on Thursday “to protect lives” after cartel gunman turned the Mexican city where he was collared into an urban war zone, authorities said. As word spread of Guzman Lopez’s capture Thursday afternoon, intense gun battles broke out between cartel gunmen — armed with military-grade weapons — and Mexican authorities. Meanwhile, heavily armed gunmen who had a “greater force” than the government troops surrounded the house where Guzman Lopez was being held — so officials released him, knowing they were outmatched, Durazo said.” #theend
