Marijuana may be doomed in Boulder by Jann Scott
Dec 8th
Marijuana grows, shops, medical and fun may be all over. If Jeff Sessions has his way. Donald Trump too think the Colorado pot experiment is a failure.
Here is why. Marijuana was pushed in Colorado as a medicine, but it never went through the FDA for approval or an upgrade. The entire Medical Marijuana movement was a fraud. It was an excuse for people to get their hands on dope. though pt does have some approval for medical use ….. medical marijuana was never the issue. Putting more dope on the streets was. Everybody knew it. Donald Trump, Jeff Sessions and the DEA called it.
President Barrack Obama and Stoner congressman Rich kid Jared Polis pushed hard to get the DEA to back off. But those days are over. What is going to happen now? At one point Trump said he would let it be a states rights issue. Not if sessions, The DEA, or NADA has a say.
They don’t like being lied to. Also Americas drug problem has only gotten worse. There has been no serious effort by the Obama administration to address drug addiction.. especially to children.
In boulder Boulder valley School District is no fan of legalized pot. They have to deal with children coming to school high, on drugs and in trouble more than ever.
The boulder City council is hated by the Trump administration and the DEA for operating a Drug Cartel. When Macon Cowles stated in 3006 he wanted to be the first city drug cartel in the USA, everyone took notice.
Boulder is seen as a criminal drug cartel city. and it is. The question is will Jeff Sessions have his way…. If he does ….. the grows, pot shops will be shut down. public officials will be federally prosecuted.
I have spent my whole life trying to help people get off drugs… people who have been sick from dope including pot. People like Jared Polis have not done one thing to help. Nothing. the Marijuana industry has done nothing to help me help people.. that is because they think act and run like dope pushers… They want people addicted.
My prediction was and is… with Trump in…. you better get out of the pot business right now or face the consequences.
I think our district attorney will just squeak by with out being prosecuted himself . He didn’t do anything to stop the dope even when i offered him the chance.
Mom and Dad suffered ethnic and religious discrimination : Jann Scotts Journal
Jan 20th
My mother and father were 2nd generation Americans . My grandparents on my father’s side had immigrated from Southern Italy. Grand parents.on my mother side emigrated from Poland. My parents met at a high school dance in 1932.
They had both changed their last names to Americanize.their future.
They both had stories of extreme prejudice when they were children. Name calling, insults, race baiting , religious discrimination …..I heard all of the stories growing up. On occasion I was subject to some of it myself even with a fully Anglo name.
When I see hatred toward Mexican immigrants or African-Americans in this day, I can’t help but think the discrimination my own family faced in the early 20th century.
Both my parents were Roman Catholic so I had a lot I f religious training. I go to mass to this day. I am one oi f those people who never had a problem with the church…. and I think my parents made sure I was safe. But I have had a close spiritual connection with Mother Teresa, pope John Paul, Michael Moore, Governor Jerry Brown, St. Francis of Assisi.
During the 1960s my dad ran a company in very white wasp Connecticut and he did something unthinkable… he hired Hispanics and African-Americans ….. I think it was after he heard Martin Luther King speak….. he said “the exact same thing happened to me and my parents…. we can’t let thus go on. It stops here with me in this company.”
Of course he was a combat vet from wwii and fought in Patton’s. 3rd Army. Gen. George Patton was the 1st general to integrate his troops when he called up a crack Negro Armoured division to break through Nazi lines when Patton’s white troops were surrounded. They ended up being the most accurate gunners If the war. My dad never forgot them. “They saved our lives…yes my life” he said The Negro troops also had the only top-secret night vision. Eisenhower had put Negro troops in charge if the red ball express which had night vission…..and so did their tanks.
So when I was a little kid growing up in my father’s company I spent my summers working on all black crews…where I learned how to work.
…pace….and about black American culture. I never learned prejudice. I actually learned cool colloquial terms, gospel music, military jargon and how to drink Gin and chew tobacco at the same time. That takes practice.
In my own company today in 2015 in Boulder we practice no discrimination. That is we give equal pay and opportunities to all people’s. Who ever does the best work gets paid and promoted.
