[RonPaulFanInGA]

Your paradigm is over, man..

The anal retentives lost.

Condolences.

• Overwhelming majority of states ban possession/selling marijuana
• Majority of states have not legalized medical marijuana
• Social stigma with its use is still very widespread
• Majority of people in red states oppose its legalization
• Majority of Republicans oppose the legalization of marijuana
• Many businesses will not hire you if you fail a drug test
• Tiny, single-digit support (9%) for legalizing heroin; only 11% for cocaine (Source)

Don't spike that football too early.

MJ will be legalized at the Federal level before long to avoid further humiliation from nullification. THen the states will come around. There will be a few hold-outs just like there are with restrictions on alcohol, but I think the writing is on the wall with respect to MJ. the so-called hard drugs will take longer, but MJ is the camel's nose.

The majority of people in a vast majority if not every state support medical MJ and a majority of the country now supports legalizing MJ.

Anal retentiveness is a dying breed.

Ah,, Thank you for that..
A good bit of perspective.

Gives me hope to see even media personalities becoming fed up with the news agendas. The other night right as a local news broadcast was ending, the male anchor was seen on camera slamming his script into the trashcan next to him as the camera zoomed out before the fade to black. He was visibly disgusted at his job, at least that night. Gives me hope.

I liked how she shrugged her shoulders there at the end.

Certainly. Because there is revenue in legalization. Simply decriminalizing will never gain a foothold. There is no money in it. Decriminalization > Legalization. The pro-legalization people either sold out or are cashing in. It's a plant. One that should be grown in a home garden with no more regulation than a tomato.

Home gardens are already illegal in many cities. When it comes to petty tyranny there is nothing new under the sun.

reporter quits on air to promote pot in AK -


warning: naughty language

mods - didn't see this anywhere, feel free to move

She should do an interview with Ben Swann. There's obviously more to the story than what was broadcast. It sounds like she knew her news job was expired. Her bosses were fools to give her the heads up on that.

With that said, she didn't do the legalization effort any favors with that outburst. The old blue-haired folks are the ones most likely to be offended by both pot and curse words. And they vote.

The rest of the story. ( she announced that she was the owner of the Cannabis Club the story was about.)
And she is not the first (or last) reporter to use common but banned words.





And the story has gone viral..

And the story has gone viral..

Its got a lot of the right ingredients for a viral story. Person telling their boss that they quit, swearing live on TV, cannabis.

 

[Spikender]

I still have to watch the other videos linked, but that first one...

I love her already. "Fuck it. I quit" is my new catchphrase for life. GIT 'EM LADY!

 

[lilymc]

I like that she stood for what she believed in and had the courage to quit on air.

But it's sad to me that her reason for quitting is marijuana..... in a world where there are about 50 trillion better battles to fight, imho.

I'll get ready for some neg reps for that comment.

 

[Danke]

'F**k It, I Quit' Reporter Under Campaign Finance Investigation

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A campaign-finance investigation is moving forward against an Alaska television reporter who quit her job on-air and vowed to work toward legalizing marijuana.

The Alaska Public Offices Commission wants to know whether Charlo Greene used crowdsourcing funds to advocate for a ballot initiative to legalize recreational pot use. Greene challenged the commission's request for documents.

The commission on Wednesday rejected her objection to a subpoena, the Alaska Dispatch News (http://ow.ly/EZQhr) reported. That gives the agency the authority to continue the investigation to determine whether money that was spent would trigger reporting requirements.


Greene, whose legal name is Charlene Egbe, said the order should be worrisome to those who take a stand on any issue. "If you publish your personal stance on any issue, then this government agency believes they have the authority to ask for emails, bank-account information, all of your records," she said. "That's scary."

The commission is unfairly targeting her, she added.

During a live newscast in September, she revealed herself to be the owner of a medical marijuana business and quit her job with a four-letter tirade. Soon after quitting, she launched an IndieGoGo online fundraising campaign to continue her fight for marijuana legalization. The effort raised more than $8,400.

The commission notes that she hasn't been found in violation of the law. "But without a reasonable investigation, no determination can be reached," the commission wrote in a three-page order.

Greene said the campaign should not be subject to reporting requirements because it was fundraising for her organization, the Alaska Cannabis Club, not for passing Ballot Measure 2. The agency cited examples where they believed her campaign was advocating for the initiative.

Alaska and Oregon this month joined Washington and Colorado as states approving legal pot.
