We're not in other countrys were in America, and weed can be purchased at marijuana dispensaries(stores) in California.
Didnt know weed was legal off Melrose and in the Santa Monica Alleys....
Just look at the countries which have legalized it and check their crime rates of before and after. Nuff said.
strong post.
My people got shot off Melrose after leaving a dispensary on Melrose. A dude got smoke in the alley behind his dispensary in Santa Monica. I was at one 60 miles away from both these locations at another dispensary, and two dudes got bust on right at the corner. They had a reality show about a dispensary in Oregon I think, and some dude walked right in and went across his **** with a lead pipe. All these incidents where related to weed, not just oh it happened near the dispensaries.
Not only does it take crime into areas that usually don't see crime it brings crime out of the darkness of the night into the daylight hours. All the shootings I mentioned happen in the morning or throughout the day.
Stone face yourself for being a uninformed square trying to act like you know something.
Legalizing weed makes it easier for me to find the weight.
Just expound your logic please, because im not understanding it. You're saying legalization will lead to more crime yet your example is crime in Cali, where it is still officially illegal. Before we jump to these types of conclusions, can we wait and see if Colorado and Washington will get overrun by violence? Though historical evidence points to the contrary occurring even if we are in America.
Sorry, I just dont see a need for people to jack others for weed, if they can grow it themselves or buy it at lower prices without any risk of getting arrested.

Nah the top shelf is the generally gonna be along the lines of the best of the best. Obviously that doesn't mean you can't find the exact same thing outside dispensaries. Idk where you're from but in the Bay it's not too bad. Strains will get marked up a few dollars or they might not even include the tax on the sticker price, I know when I was in LA it was a few bucks more expensive. And what ever happens to be the "strain of the month" is gonna be rape anywhere.

It's been legal in California since the 90's. They have shops throughout the state like bad neighborhoods have liquor stores. When the police pull you over and give you your weed back, or walk in your house and smell bud, and they say smells pretty good in here. I would say that's as legal as it gets.
Just because you don't see why people jack others for weed means nothing. But if you use your head you would say well alcohol is legal yet people still make moon shine, and jack cases of liquor.
And by historical evidence you mean Prohibition? Look up how many alcohol related deaths or accidents we have a year, and not just car accidents. I'm talking about someone getting pissy drunk, and then shooting someone over alittle of nothing. Or negligence from being drunk etc. etc.
This is a prime example of everybody loses except the government. Use your logic I shouldn't have to explain this statement in detail, but if you need me to I will.
That top self be like $60, $75, nearly $80 a 1/8, but in the streets you can get that same top quality for the $50 1/8. And it's like you said what every the latest strain all the cool kids are smoking will get that make up to.
That's why you can still get down on the street hustle in LA even tho there are stores on every corner. And to be real the top shelf in these dispensaries isn't that certified pi yao compared to what I would get out of Watts or SC.

yo to the "older" weed heads on here (25+)
Do you guys find it weird how people are treating weed now adays? and the songs and the coolness factor of i? something just feels weird about the social and regular media push of MJ. its being commercialized maaannn. Feels like the NBA in the late 90s. im not liking it to much. Must be even worse for older heads.
Its like this push existed before in Europe and in certain stages around the world, but when North American gets a hold of something they just milk it.

I don't see that as a particularly good analogy. Growing weed is a lot easier for the average person than pressing decks and stitching together skate shoes. Prohibition corporatized alcohol, but it certainly hasn't stopped microbreweries from being successful or stopped people from brewing at home. And when you consider the fact that the dirty hippie demographic makes up a large chunk of weed smokers, I don't see the demand for high quality, organically grown weed going away any time soon.There building it up for the corporate takeover.Everybody thinking the legalization is going to be a +. Corporate America is going to chew this **** up and spit it out. Perfect example is the skate community.

It's the same if you've payed attention to it. Skateboarding went to being underground and not talked about much at all, to being commercialized and corporatized. When that happen you no longer had black and hispanic kids raging on other blacks and hispanics for being into skateboarding, because it it turned mainstream and was accepted.
The same thing is going to happen with weed more and more people that normally wouldn't touch the stuff will cave in due to the wide acceptance. Same thing happen with skinny jeans.
It's legal to grow weed in CA, but the weed stores are still booming, and a street dealer can still thrive. I was in the middle of it all. Making it legal just made the dealers profit margin rise, and created new dealers that would have never even thought about getting involved with weed period.
Marketing changes the way people think.

I struggle to see how those are negative things. Also, I wouldn't consider marijuana to be completely legal in California. Medicinal marijuana has created a semi-legal gray area.

they won't decriminalize it across the board because they are trying to keep the prices high while they organize their business solution.
if they did, the price would drop dramatically and the dreams of a billion dollar a year industry would disappear over night.
i think they are playing a game of perfect timing.

WHAT!Did you think about this before you typed it? This children is why you stay away from weed unless your going through chemo.
when they stop raiding dispenseries...when they stop flying over peoples back yards and taking mmj patients to jail...when a person can be smoking a J on the street and talking to a cop at the same time without issue...that is when we are truely legal IMO.
It is STILL illegal under federal law. and federal law trumps state law.

Like I said before. Legalizing it creates a man being murdered in the alley behind his weed shop at 8am in Santa Monica. My people getting shoot off of Melrose and 3rd. after just leaving a weed store. My uncles neighbor($500,000 homes in a recession type of neighborhood) that is a principle getting shoot and robbed in thier home, because they sell and grow as a side hustle. Shooting in front of the stores. To call it "medical" marijuana is a joke. 90% of the users conditions are chronic "headaches". This was just away to test the waters, and prove to the government the pros of legalization.
You can't do that what a beer so what are you saying.
If a police officer takes a rolled blunt out off my drawer in my dashboard during a vehicle search, and then places it on the trunk of my car, and then after he's done searching my car tells me to take my blunt full of Cali's finest off my trunk and go home well then weed is legal. When the police pull me over, and search my car yet again, and find a half a ounce of weed sacked up in one of my passengers pocket. Then lets use go and gives him his weed back well then weed is legal in my book.
Weed is not illegal in Cali. If it was they would be racking up arrest and revenue, because those cards aren't even real. They mean nothing unless it's a state issued card, and those are nearly impossible to get.
And I've never heard of any dispensaries getting raided or the arrest of "patients", and I really don't see them being more stringent in North Cali then in SoCal. Seeing that North Cali made the way for what we have today.

You should listen a bit closer. There's been more raids on dispensaries in the Obama administration than ever before. And for the record, both of ya'll are saying the same thing...marijuana is still illegal in California.

Marijuana is still illegal in Colorado, Washington, and all the other states that passed. But instead of you going to county or the state pen you go to Federal lock up. Your local police might not arrest you, but the DEA will.
Actually we aren't saying the same thing. They say legalization will help eliminate alot of the bad surround around marijuana, and I'm saying that it's already been proven that it just made things worst.
The only raids I've heard about are on illegal and unlicensed collectives. And the administration has nothing to do with it. It's the growing popularity.
In 2007 my uncle would come down on me for being involved with it, and by 2010 he was seriously considering to open up a shop. Mainly because the variety of people involved widened due to people starting to get informed about it basically being legal.
Technically it's not legal, but it's legal

They told them to do the same thing in 04, but they didn't. Are you guys actually involved with the scene, or are you just repeating what you read in some article?
Do any of you guys even know owners of shops or collectives?

Feds Set to Crack Down on California Pot Dispensaries
Published October 07, 2011
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO – Federal prosecutors in California are cracking down on some of the state's medical marijuana dispensaries, signaling an escalation of the ongoing conflict between the U.S. government and the nation's burgeoning medical marijuana industry.
The four U.S. attorneys in California, the first state to pass a law legalizing marijuana use for patients with doctors' recommendations, have scheduled a joint news conference Friday where they plan to "outline actions targeting the sale, distribution and cultivation of marijuana."
Their offices refused to provide details in advance what moves the officials are taking or how many of the state's hundreds of storefront pot shops would be affected. But at least 16 pot shops or their landlords received letters this week warning face they would face criminal charges and confiscation of their property if the dispensaries do not shut down in 45 days.
The Associated Press obtained copies of the letters that a prosecutor sent to at least 12 San Diego dispensaries. They state that federal law "takes precedence over state law and applies regardless of the particular uses for which a dispensary is selling and distributing marijuana."
"Under United States law, a dispensary's operations involving sales and distribution of marijuana are illegal and subject to criminal prosecution and civil enforcement actions," according to the letters signed by U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy in San Diego. "Real and personal property involved in such operations are subject to seizure by and forfeiture to the United States ... regardless of the purported purpose of the dispensary."
The move comes a little more than two months after the Obama administration toughened its stand on medical marijuana. For two years before that, federal officials had indicated they would not move aggressively against dispensaries in compliance with laws in the 16 states where pot is legal for people with doctors' recommendations.
The Department of Justice issued a policy memo to federal prosecutors in late June stating that marijuana dispensaries and licensed growers in states with medical marijuana laws could face prosecution for violating federal drug and money-laundering laws. The effort to shutter California dispensaries appeared to be the most far-reaching effort so far to put that guidance into action.
Greg Anton, a lawyer who represents dispensary Marin Alliance for Medical Marijuana, said its landlord received an "extremely threatening" letter Wednesday invoking a federal law that imposes additional penalties for selling drugs within 1,000 feet of schools, parks and playgrounds.
The landlord was ordered to evict the 14-year-old pot club or risk imprisonment, plus forfeiture of the property and all the rent he has collected while the dispensary has been in business, Anton said.
Kris Hermes, a spokesman for the medical marijuana advocacy group Americans for Safe Access, said the warnings are part of what appears to be an attempt by the Obama administration to curb medical marijuana on multiple fronts and through multiple agencies. A series of dispensary raids in Montana, for example, involved agents from not only the FBI and U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, but the Internal Revenue Service and Environmental Protection Agency.
Going after property owners is not a new tactic though, Hermes said. Five years ago, the Department of Justice under President George W. Bush made similar threats to about 300 Los Angeles-area landlords who were renting space to medical marijuana outlets, some of whom were eventually evicted or closed their doors voluntarily, he said.
"It did have an impact. However, the federal government never acted on its threats, never prosecuted anybody, never even went to court to begin prosecutions," Hermes said. "By and large, they were empty threats, but they relied on them and the cost of postage to shut down as many facilities as they could without having to engage in criminal enforcement activity."
The San Diego medical marijuana outlets put on notice were the same dozen that city officials sued last month for operating illegally, after activists there threatened to force an election on a zoning plan adopted to regulate the city's fast-growing medical marijuana industry, City Attorney Jan Goldsmith said. A judge on Wednesday ordered nine of the targeted shops to close, while the other three shut down voluntarily, Goldsmith said.
Duffy, the U.S. attorney for far Southern California, planned to issue warning letters to property owners and all of the 180 or so dispensaries that have proliferated in San Diego in the absence of compromise regulations, according to Goldsmith.
"The real power is with the federal government," he said. "They have the asset forfeiture, and that means either the federal government will own a lot of property or these landlords will evict a lot of dispensaries."
