I was on drugs for my condition for many years that cost NY state a hundred dollars a day, because of my disability, but they didn't work. That's $36,500 a year down the drain until I found what works for me, so you do the math on how many others could say the same.

Weed definitively IS a drug. That's not inherently a bad thing. I hate it when people make the argument that weed should be legalized because it is natural. There are tons of legitimate arguments to legalize it. We don't need to lie to ourselves. See 2 other replies

I live in Fresno Ca I also voted for MMJ. And I am truly Discusted with the way City gov. is Just Showing Us that when We went and Casted Our Vote For MMJ And won that it Don't mean Crap to them. Here's what I Mean By that. Around a year and half ago we had started having Co-ops for MMJ opening here in Fresno then Sheriff Margret Mimms and our City counsel started raiding then and closing them down. and there were only like maybe 20 to 30 dispensary's open. there reason the same as stated in the movie they were making a profit.. well as as of last month there trying to ban all dispensary's in the City limits and thay passed a law that if you are reciving MMJ you can not grow at your home but Only in one specially zoned area of Fresno its in a Warehouse part of the city. Also one of the Co-ops had given a $5000 donation to a charity that helps low income kids that the Fresno P.D helps run and the Fresno P.D made the Co-op take it back with the financhal trouble that our City has i find that ignorant. and also the last raid they hit 5 dispensary's that were only 10 feet apart the sheriff Dept had 250 officers to raid 2 buildings that were smaller than a one room Apt. and there were only 8 people there. and there were no DEA only the Fresno County Sheriff Dept. so Our city Officals are telling us that Esp. the Sherriff Dept. that our Democratic right to vote don't mean Crap to them even though our county Jail wich is run by the Sheriff is only able to house not even half of its abilty because theres not enough funds to pay for staff but Sheriff Margret Mimms has the funds to have 250 Sheriff officers raid 5 dispensary's that 20 could of easly done but oh thats right i actualy thought my vote meant some thing link to artical =http://www.fresnobee.com/2011/06/01/2410478/warrants-served-at-2-fresno-co.html

Ok so i can agree with mj being expensive at some places like 20 a gram at most places...but there are so many places out there that are offer really cheap affordable prices. I am in Colorado i have a place that's literally down the street that i get 10 a gram for anything in the shop. i can find ounces for as cheap as 150 at times which is 28 grams which if even you smoke a gram a day you pretty much covered for nearly a month...I don't know how you can't find it cheap in cali oh course there will be expensive collectives out there but i know for a fact there are ways of finding it cheap even from the internet. Weedmaps . com allows you to actually look at a shops menu if they post it..bunch of them do..budtrader . com is like a ebay for bud... As far as for anxiety medication screw that stuff..i was on something similar to that and after a month i stopped for a few days and i was already withdrawing i felt i had to puke all the time and sometimes my heart would pound i couldnt stand it..Its the governments shady way of profit having this medicine so affordable then you get addicted spend bunch of money for rehab and therapy..That stuff can kill you from seizures if you take it over time and stop suddenly. And obviously you havn't grown before because no way 6 plants require 3000 $ for lights or even equipment for that matter. If you want full grown bushy get a 1000 watt light for 300& and your set. if you do smaller you can get even cheaper. I have a friend using 2 lights from home depot worth 30$ keeping 4 2-feet plants going. If you had 3000$ worth of lights that's plenty of power to run like 25-30 plants maybe even 50. When you get the real deal light systems meant for growth your crops go fast. The problem with marijuana is its now being considered medicine which i have no disagreement but why couldn't it just be under the same category as alcohol. See 1 other reply

Cops straight up take money, report that they get less.

A recent string of raids in my city confirms it; they reported 48,980 dollars taken total. I was at a local shop that was "used as a warehouse" and personally saw 98,500+ in cash, wrapped in 10,000 stacks and 8,500 loose bills. And that 98.5k was just in the one place. America is in a ridiculous place, I don't even live in cali so my guess is this happens everywhere.
