Yes, We Cannabis

Will Marijuana be the Obama for California voters this year? Will it bring out younger people to the ballot box in record numbers in this off year election? Some pundits are saying yes. In fact, the Democrats are curious as whether the perceived liberal swing of cannabis consumers might change the outcome of this fall’s races for governor and other offices.
One respondent argued that marijuana smokers don’t have the motivation to get out and vote. I find this rather naive as marijuana smokers are currently both our president and our governor–hardly unmotivated people. And, Marijuana smokers are increasingly demanding that they be allowed into the mainstream. Many of them are professionals who take their jobs seriously but want to relax on their time off. They smoke and so do their friends. They just might turn out in large numbers to support what they see as an issue of individual rights.
Note: Channel 5 News appears to be ahead of the curve on covering marijuana issues. Yesterday, they had a crew in the SoHum area (I was interviewed). Today, they will be in Mendocino at the forum, Life After Legalization: Marijuana Enters the Mainstream held at the Saturday Afternoon Club at 107 South Oak Street in Ukiah beginning at 1PM. A screening of the new documentary Cash Crop will follow. I’ll be there.

I agree. I think this November election in California will be one of the largest young voter turnouts in a long time. And it makes sense. It’s for that reason I think legalization will pass. So, we better start figuring out the transition fast.
I’m looking forward to what the newspapers say when they report on this meeting.
Ought to be interesting.

-so, from my understanding we don’t use hemp because it would put all of these jackasses out of business because it is such a versatile plant. Henry Ford’s first model T was run on hemp gasoline, and had hemp plastic panels, which are 10 times stronger then steel… and you could pay your taxis with hemp from 1631 till early 1800’s. there is even evidence that hemp may be extra-terrestrial, but can you believe everything you read…?

[…] At the Ukiah forum I covered for the NCJ, Lee also asserted that Rush and the Unions have pull with the Democratic party. Lee stated that after Rush met with Democratic leaders and explained that younger voters would likely turn out to vote for legalization and that might influence the election in favor of the less conservative elements, Democrats turned around and spun that to the media. […]
