Opposes Measure B

I have been doing some research and have come up with some information that the county might be interested in. Apparently back in the 1990’s Hemp activists failed to get Hemp legalized for commercial use because of two reasons: 1) The Bush Admin. 2) And the Marijuana industry was afraid that because of the pollen factor, Hemp would wipe Marijuana potency out after a few years of Hemp cultivation. What I propose is that since Marijuana is Hemp and Hemp is Marijuana, That research and development of the plant begin as soon as possible. Why nobody in this county is trying to develop products that can be made of Hemp/Marijuana is beyond me.
Here is a few things that can be made from the fibers of the Hemp/Marijuana plant: Accessories: aprons, back packs, bags, belts, caps, eyeglass cases, jewelry, hair ties, hats, hip packs, scarves, shawls, shoe laces, shoes, socks, ties, wallets. Apparel: baby clothes, bathing suits, children's clothes, coats, dresses, jackets, jeans, lingerie, overalls, pants, shirts, shorts, skirts, suits, sweaters. Cosmetics: hair conditioners, lip balms, lotions, massage oils, salves, shampoos, soaps. Foods: beer, burgers, candy, coffees, cheese, cookies, dry cookie and pancake mixes, flour, oil, pretzels, roasted seeds, salad dressing, wine. Household Furnishings: blankets, candles, carpets, coffee filters, dish towels, napkins, placemats, rugs. Paper: art papers, bond, bookmarks, books, cigarette papers, corrugated board, envelopes, invitations, journals, magazines, stationery. Publications: books, magazines, newspapers, research papers. Raw Hemp: bast fiber, batting (tow) & sliver for industry & craft use, hurds, seeds. Services: consulting, Internet support, networking, research & development. Sports Equipment: Plastic goods, hacky sacks, skateboards, snowboards, surfboards. Spun Hemp: cordage, embroidery thread, rope, twine, webbing, yarn. Textiles: hand woven & mill loomed fabrics - blended silks to canvas, various weights & textures, colors, patterns, stripes & plaids; finishing services. Other: animal leashes & collars, dog treats, diesel fuel, drums, tool bags, toys, fiber board.
It took about 15 minutes on the internet to get this information. I also learned that to call a plant a "hemp plant" or a “marijuana plant” is not really correct, hemp and marijuana are both separate parts of one plant; the Cannabis Plant. Hemp being the plant stalk and branches, and Marijuana being the female buds that people smoke.
I hope this gives people something to think about....

Great work, you stoner. Take another **** bong hit, and tell me that the billions of dollars of grass coming out of Mendocino goes to AIDS patients. Medical marijuana is a SCAM!!!

oops, here's the dude again that has no heart and makes a joke out of a woman being stabbed to death by her ex, the father of her 2 babies. you should be ashamed of yourself james kinder!!

Well, greeneyes, I am not ashamed that I have a brain and call BS on the mindless yapping of you "No on B" stoners. Tell me again how many AIDS patients and cancer sufferers there are in this country? I guess they each have $50,000,000 to spend on grass, because there is several billion dollars worth being grown. Get an education and stay off the bong; like Dean Wormer said in Animal House "fat, stoned and stupid is a terrible way to go through life."

Where did this Jerk James Kinder come from?

He is, isn't he? He says he's not the evil ex-lawyer in jail down in San Diego (where he keeps posting from), but yano, this is a PERFECT task for a stoolie (and if it's the lawyer in question, no doubt the boy's a suck up in the tank). He claims he comes up here to hang out in his trailer on his land and finds it infested with feral dope-growing herds of hippies.

He's avoiding my deconstruction of the arguments they make (it's still the ONLY post in it's thread), which I think says a lot for how stuck they are.

I left out the hoardes of Mexicans (one time, it was Mexicans, not hippies).

I don't think people should have to register as anything in either Sacramento or San Diego. I know I don't.

And I really wish I could show you what happened in San Diego back when 215 got started. But I'll probably never be able to, and that's so depressing.

Avoiding the deconstruction of your arguments? What arguments?

You argue that all the grass in Mendo (lets not mention Lake, Humboldt, etc.) is "medicinal." Tell me again how many AIDS patients and cancer sufferers there are in this country? I guess they each have $50,000,000 to spend on grass, because there is several billion dollars worth being grown. JUST ANSWER THAT QUESTION, PLEASE.

Could it "B" that 99.999% of the grass is really destined for the black market? That there is massive money laundering going on? That in reality, this dope is headed to tie dyed, Al Gore loving, Prius driving hippies and high schoolers who are perfectly (physically) healthy?

Get an education and stay off the bong; like Dean Wormer said in Animal House "fat, stoned and stupid is a terrible way to go through life."

The only reason the value is so great is the prohibition of the plant.

A yes vote on measure BS takes away personal use from the people of Mendocino county and does nothing to help get rid of these big grows.
Measure B is BS!

NO ON B!!!!!!!!

ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!!! Where the hell is all that grass going? How about the billions in cash? And where are the hundreds of millions Mendo should be collecting in taxes? Oh yeah, IT'S ALL A SCAM!!!!
