Smoke 'em if you got 'em in California


In the name of freedom, this is a great time to be alive in California.  Cannabis users are rejoicing in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the state. The courts actually ruled in favor of We The People last month and there is an air of joy in LA that I've not experienced before. 

The court has joined the people saying the federal government does not own us in this the land of the free and the home of the brave, even though we support it with tax dollars, personal accomplishments and voter participation.  

We are not their cattle. They do not "own us" as fulfillment to the debts of dead people, i.e. the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 and counterproductive UN Drug Treaties from 1961.  They do not have a right to control our consumption of a plant.

We The People have determined to save ourselves with the simple hemp solution in issues regarding Fukushima, medical marijuana, global warming, the economy and whatever else it takes to fulfill our responsibility to secure life at least 7 generations ahead.  Restoring hemp to full participation in nature's process is a wise course of action.  

The source of this celebration, which kicks into full gear with September's much awaited THC Cup, September 15th & 16th in Hollywood, is the recent court decision regarding storefront and mobile dispensaries.
The SF Gate reports:

"An appeals court in Southern California recently struck down Los Angeles County's 2-year-old ban on dispensaries, ruling that state law allows cooperatives and collectives to grow, store and distribute pot. However, in a separate case, an appeals court said federal law pre-empts municipalities from allowing dispensaries.

Pot clinic advocates say government bans disregard the state law passed by voters in 1996 that allows the use of medical marijuana with a doctor's recommendation.

From the recent court ruling on medical marijuana that at least reads like the folks on the corner are legal too since they are mobile dispensaries:

"Subdivision (e) of section 11362.768 expressly contemplates that a “medical marijuana cooperative, collective, dispensary, operator, establishment, or provider” may have a “storefront or mobile retail outlet.”  Page 9, Paragraph 1 https://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://statecasefiles.justia.com/documents/california/court-of-appeal/b233419.pdf?ts%3D1341255677&chrome=true


Also from the above link court decision document - Page 19, Paragraphs 1-3

"A complete ban, such as County's ordinance at issue herein, stands in an entirely different relationship to California's medical marijuana law than a temporary moratorium, general regulations applicable to all business operations, and reasonable restrictions on the location of medical marijuana collectives and cooperatives. We conclude state law preempts County's ban.


DISPOSITION


The order granting a preliminary injunction is reversed, our stay of the injunction is dissolved when the remittitur issues from this court, and the matter is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Defendants are entitled to their costs on appeal."

Here's a few relevant links to the decision.

Court Decision - 2 links to confirm text



I am not alone in my observation that life is radically better and more hopeful here on the US West Coast, considering what is going on in our sister states of Oregon, and Alaska. 


"As many California medical marijuana collectives breathe a deep sigh of relief, pot clubs in L.A. have been given the green light to operate – thanks to the Second District Court of Appeals decision in California on Tuesday. The court issued the groundbreaking ruling in the County of Los Angeles v. Alternative Medicinal Marijuana Collective or AMCC.
The second district Court of Appeals affirmed that medical marijuana collectives are allowed to operate under existing California state law. They further went on to reject any and all bans that the local municipalities may have imposed on these medical marijuana collectives."
We're having a celebration at the USA Hemp Museum to celebrate the end of prohibition in California this weekend, Saturday & Sunday, August 11 & 12 at the USA Hemp Museum, 1358 S. Flower Street, Los Angeles, CA to discuss "where do we go from here?" Richard M. Davis, the museum's curator and founder, can help you find a doctor for your medical conditions that qualify for medical marijuana.
All are welcome. 30% 501(c)3 donations to the World Cannabis Foundation are appreciated as support for the museum.  
Like the title of this article says "Smoke 'em if you got 'em in California."

13th Annual Los Angeles Million Marijuana March Info.

Wow. It was 13 years ago when I called Dana Beal and said I was not coming back to New York to work on the Million Marijuana March in '99. I was run out of Harlem by her band of poverty pimps and decided I had completed my work there. Dana told me about Sister Somayah organizing the first Los Angeles Million Marijuana March and I could help her out. That turned into an extraordinary sisterhood. I will miss Somayah 'till the day I die.

Here's the skinny on this year's 13th Annual Million Marijuana March:

Who: 13th Annual Million Marijuana March
What: 2 day march and celebration of marijuana 
When: 10a-8p, May 7 - 8, 2011 (March 12 noon - Sat May 7)
Where: Leimert Park (March begins on Adams; heading south on Crenshaw Blvd to Leimert Park)
Why: Restore freedom throughout the world beginning with hemp.
How: Musicians, hemp vendors, activists, artists, organizations and all around good folks gather in their local communities to demand an end world wide to the war on drugs, which is really a war on we the people.

Markham Patrice Lumumba Hunt


It is with great sadness that we report that Sister Somayah Kambui's son, Markham Patrice Lumumba Hunt, has joined his mother in the afterlife, having left this life on 5-30-2010 @ approximately 1:00 PM.  

Lumumba performed the instrumentals and vocal backup to his mother's dynamic song, HEY MR. D.A. 

 
Lumumba was also his mother's first computer expert for her Crescent Alliance Self Help For Sickle Cell, helping her along with the late Jim Rosenfield of Insight Marketing, in the 1990's. When Somayah passed she had doubled her life expectancy plus eight years with sickle cell using hemp as her foundation therapy.  Somayah formed that organization to share what she was learning about sickle cell patients and hemp.  Her son Lumumba helped her through countless sickle cell crisis over the decades and became an expert in his own right on the subject. 
 
Lumumba also helped his mother produce many of the Los Angeles Global Marijuana Marches, a strengthener in times of preparation and execution.


"What do you say Mr. D.A., let's make a deal." Support Prop 215 and end hemp prohibition.

Hemp Hero - Attorney Bruce Margolin

This is to other hemp activists who believe in the work of Los Angeles marijuana attorney Bruce Margolin . That a web search on the issue of medical marijuana clubs being shut down in LA had not one media outlet talking to him on the subject I find horrifying. It's called 'seek but do not find.'  If we hempsters unify behind Atty Margolin with his ample legal experience on the matter, we can break through the stupidity called the war on drugs.



The late Sister Somayah Kambui use to call Margolin the best in the businesses. She trusted her life to him many times and he never let her down.



Success is preparation joining with opportunity. We have an opportunity to end hemp prohibition now.  439 clubs in LA have their walking papers. It's time for a class action suit and the clubs have the means and the motivation to do it. "Los Angeles city prosecutors began notifying 439 medical marijuana dispensaries Tuesday that they must shut down by June 7, when the city's ordinance to regulate the stores takes effect. It's the first step in what could be a lengthy and expensive legal battle to regain control over pot sales.

The letters, which were sent to both dispensary operators and property owners, warn that violations of the city's laws are a misdemeanor and could lead to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Collectives that stay open after the deadline could also face civil penalties of $2,500 a day.

"We're hopeful that the fact that we've given them more than 30 days to comply that a significant number of them will cease operating," said Asha Greenberg, the assistant city attorney who has handled most of the efforts to close dispensaries."   Clubs, plus every other citizen who stands for sanity, should let Bruce make the case. This must be done quickly to at least get a stay because June 7th will be here fast. The Will of the Government is not more important than the Will of the People, as expressed in Prop 215.

I also recommend Richard M. Davis' book HEMP FOR VICTORY: THE WONDER HERB which is a museum tour on the subject as evidence. Many other books, organizations, etc. can be added to the list.  No need wasting too much time on is medical hemp adequately tested and proven useful.



Again, if you think this is a good salvation move, let's encourage the clubs (and others) to hire/support Bruce Margolin, Richard M. Davis and other long standing hemp activists to bring peace where there is chaos.  Hemp For Victory!!!
