    This is what it has come to, everyone that has a chance to "sell out" does
    it seems. No one should have to pay more than $250.00 for top grade from
    any store, they buy it cheap and sell it retail that is a cartel. This is
    what A.S.A.'s "Restrictive Permitting and Stricter Guidelines" have done to
    California. It keeps the prices high and out of reach of the ones that
    really need this medication. All of this is covered in
    www.theweedlynews.comwith video to prove it.

    Be advised
     
     
    Greetings -
     
    LA City Council voted on two bans today.
     
    The Council voted in support of Huizar's motion to ban all medical
    marijuana storefront dispensaries. Koretz was the sole dissenter;
    Rosendahl was absent.
     
    The new rules allow for up to three patients to grow collectively.
    Patients can also acquire their medical cannabis from hospices, home
    health nurses, nursing homes and registered elder care facilities
    according to Huizar's scheme.
     
    The ban will get a second reading in Council next week and then head to
    the Mayor's desk for his signature. According to Council dispensaries
    would then have to close immediately. How the ban would be enforced was
    not discussed in open session.
     
    The Council also approved a motion to revise Koretz' original motion to
    now allow for up to 182 pre-ICO collectives only and ban all others. The
    motion carried and now heads back to all pertinent commissions and
    committees with reports from all pertinent city departments before the
    full Council votes on it, generally a 6 – 9 month process.
     
    The city attorney stated that passing both bans would not be in conflict
    with one another. It was obvious that this council did not want to chose
    one ban over the other and was quite pleased to be able to pass both.
     
    Their theory is that all collectives will shut down, the Pack decision
    will be handed down in the near future and Koretz' revised ordinance could
    be amended to fit any new interpretation of the law if needed or withdrawn
    if bans stand.
     
    The City Attorney's office contends that Huizar's ban is "foolproof from
    any further litigation." When I inquired with attorneys about the City's
    foolproof ban, they simply stated they intend to sue on behalf of their
    clients.
     
    …. and so the merri-go-round continues.

    Mickey:
     
    George Washington once said "My gun is my best friend." I personally abhor guns. Yet while I don't presently own a gun, I probably will very soon.
     
    Why?
     
    Because I fear the 2nd American Revolution may get going, in earnest, beginning in 2013, when — regardless of who wins the election (unless it were me, LOL) — they will start gutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. That is a 3rd Rail guaranteed to start a real revolution. If Romney wins it will take place through the Ryan Plan. If Obama wins it will take place through the Simpson/Boles Supercommittee.
     
    So let me summarize the last 12 years for you.
     
    2000 PNAC releases a report saying we need a "Perl Harbor" like event in order to go into Afghanistan and Iraq
    2001 Government unleashes a false flag operation where they blow up Buildings 1,2 and 7 of the WTC (Marvin Bush is in charge of security)
    2001 Patriot Act is Passed and Homeland Security is enacted.
    2001- 2012 Total Information Awareness is implemented: tracking every American through Cell Phones, Computers etc.
     
    What is going on here is a lock-down of the American People in preparation for the brutal endgame where Americans are denigrated to "Bannana Republic" status.
     
    The Elite have known for decades now that the Baby Boomers, who financed the Social Security and other entitlements of the Great Generation, were going to become a liability as they began to grow older and require entitlements of their own. But they siphoned off the Social Security and the cupboard is now bare. And the past reality, of a large youthful population paying for a smaller older population is inverting.
     
    So they kept lying to us about the American Dream — where each successive generation would do better than the last — knowing full well that it was all just a Ponzi Scheme.
     
    They also knew that the American People would go ballistic when the brutal austerity is finally implemented beginning in 2013.
     
    So they used "Islamic Extremism" as the means to destroy our liberties yet in fact have been funding Islamic Extremists since 1979 (Carter, Afghanistan).
     
    The bottom line is that the 2nd Amendment was not implemented to go hunting squirrels as Clinton once said. Guns are a brutal but necessary means by which we topple despots. And when the shit hits the fan guns will be required when bands of thugs go door to door looking for food, water and mayhem.
     
    Colorado Batman shooting shows obvious signs of being staged
    Friday, July 20, 2012
    http://www.naturalnews.com/036536_James_Holmes_shooting_false_flag.html#ixzz21Gxy8c4d
     
    I have a strong suspicion that the Colorado Shooter was probably on anti-depressants which has contributed to many similar slaughters (e.g., Columbine). But because Obama is in the pockets of Big Pharma he will not suggest more controls. Nope, instead he will push "Teen Screen;" a program where school children will be tested and put on anti-depressants just like they did similarly with testing keds for ADHD.
     
    And guess what? You cannot own a gun if you are on anti-depressants.
    And guess what? Obama was behind stripping the gun rights of Cannabis Consumers.
    And guess what? Fast and Furious was a means to integrate the Mexican and American Militaries to push forward the NAU. It was also done to make the argument for more gun control.
     
    So who else took away gun rights before imposing austerity on the people. Hitler.
    He also set up a Department of Homeland Security.
     
    Yes guns are terrible things. But they are a necessary evil to put despots in their place.

    Gun Crazed… Posted by Mickey Martin on July 22nd, 2012
     
     
    In the wake of another mass killing, this time at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado this week, I have had some of the most interesting conversations with people about guns.
    My point is simple. GUNS ARE STUPID.
    There is no shortage of macho men and women who see this tragedy as some sort of threat to their right to own a gun. I am amazed at the amount of bullshit rhetoric I have heard about “Don’t let them take our guns because of this.” What the fuck are you talking about? Who has had any gun taken in America from them ever?
    Here is a cold hard fact for you…8 million guns are sold annually across the globe….4.5 million of those are sold here in the US. So, if there is some shortage of guns and people are scared of having their guns taken away, I just do not see it. We have 5% of the world’s population but purchase 56% of the guns in the world every year. We have 90 guns for every 100 people in this country. In comparison, the next closest country is Yemen with 61 guns per 100 people. That is a staggering number. So at what point does the bullshit myth that somehow guns are being taken away in this Country cease to meet the reality of the situation?
    But do not get me wrong. I am not suggesting that nobody be allowed to own guns. I have many of my closest friends who are gun enthusiasts and many of them who I have this argument with all of the time. I understand the argument for guns by many who own them. I see the need for security, and the fear of other people who have bad intentions. I think it is perfectly okay for people to own firearms to protect themselves and their property. I respect hunting as a sport and the people who use guns for target sport and whatnot. I appreciate that many people are well-trained and responsible gun owners who simply own a firearm to protect themselves from a worst case scenario.
    What I do not get is the macho hero bullshit that so many gun enthusiasts spew. Many act as if their having guns makes them some sort of tough guy (or girl) who would have “never let that happen if I was at the movie theater.” All of these “I own a gun” instant heroes are seldom found at the moment of real tragedy. For all of the bullshit hyperbole spewed by these small penis, big gun vigilante heroes, I just do not ever see that actually play out in real life.
    What I do see play out in real life, more often than not, is that a gun is used for suicide, or accidental shooting by a kid, or is stolen and used in another crime or homicide. People with guns in their home are many times more likely to be killed by homicide or have someone in their home die from suicide. So while many people believe they are protecting themselves, the reality is that on most occasions they are bringing the danger into their home and giving themselves a false sense of security. But that is people’s choice to make; and there are many good gun owners out there who are responsible in their use, storage, and handling of firearms. Generally, a responsible gun owner will never even let a person know they have guns and generally hope to never have to use them for defense. The wingnut “advocates” that run around acting as if the firearm is an extension of themselves and who believe guns make them tougher have serious fucking mental problems.
    Someone said, “Mickey, a gun is just a tool like any other tool.” Is that right? The how come people do not wander around bragging about how big and powerful their hammer is? We have come to romanticize guns in this country and that is dangerous. We have created a culture that thrives off of gun violence and is indifferent to the massive death they cause.
    Roughly 270 people get shot EVERY DAY in America and roughly 80 of those people die. Now I have heard all of the straw man arguments stating “Cars kill people every day. Should we ban cars?” Shut the fuck up….if you are seriously comparing MASS MURDER with car accidents, then there is a real fucking problem. Yes. People die in cars every day, but not because another human being set out to kill them. The number of deaths every day in America by gun violence is unacceptable period. Besides the tragedy of life lost, it is the mental anguish and terror that these situations create that does the most damage.
    But you do not need to look much further than the gun lobby to figure that out. One of the main arguments is that people need guns because if they do not have them “only the criminals will have guns.” So people must be able to stockpile assault weaponry to fend off the possible attack of the bad guys and their guns, which have obviously scared the shit out of enough people to make them only believe that being fully armed to the hilt will suffice in making them safe from this huge criminal element. I am just not seeing it though. RARELY does one of these folks ever actually use their gun to defend themselves. Most times their guns end up killing themselves or their family in a tragic event that was made easier by a gun being available to get their hands on. That is the reality. All of these super heroes never seem to materialize when the shit really goes down, and most are surprised when their depressed wife commits suicide with their weapon, or when their teenage kid steals their gun and accidentally shoots their buddy.
    So I am not buying this whole I need a gun to protect me from people with guns bullshit. It just does not happen very much, and compared with the overwhelming guns that are used in suicide, accidents, or are stolen and used in other crimes, it is just not worth it IMO. To each their own….but if 4 armed gunmen kick in my door, chances are having a firefight with them in my home while my kids sleep in the next room is not necessarily my best option. I have no need to risk my family’s life in hopes I am a good enough shot to kill all 4 of them before they get the drop on me or my family. Most home invasions end with people taking the shit they came for and leaving….why would I want to turn my house into the OK Corral just to save some stuff? Why would I want to ensure gunshots are fired in my home to be some hero who saved his stuff…if you do not get killed in the ensuing gun battle. It just makes no sense…these contrived bullshit scenarios where people think they will have the time and the presence to pull off all of this hero gun shit amazes me….too many video games for some of these folks.
    But the reality is that the actual risk of being home invaded is very slim, and the probability of you being able to do shit about it in that moment, regardless of the amount of guns you own, is even slimmer…..so save me the Dirty Harry “I would’ve or am gonna” bullshit. You will not. The facts just do not back up the bravado of all of these “I have a gun” heroes….
    But I am not advocating for anyone’s guns to be “taken away,” as seems to be the paranoia in these situations. Apparently no one else is trying to take any away either, as as stated before, Americans buy 56% of the 8 million guns sold annually. So lay off the paranoia weed for a minute and come back to reality. There are enough guns in America for everyone…literally.
    What I am advocating for is a return on the assault weapons ban. There is just no real use for this type of weaponry in our society other than to murder human beings at a fast and massively destructive rate. It makes no sense that we allow any dumbass to walk into a store and buy a weapon capable of shooting 71 people in a matter of seconds. The only thing an AK-47 or AR-15 is good for is killing A LOT of human beings very rapidly….I am cool if it is more difficult for my neighbor to be able to do that. When asking gun advocates what ever the purpose of these types of weapons are besides mass murder, some have the nerve to bring up hunting. If you need a fully automatic weapon to shoot a defenseless elk then you are a.) a horrible hunter; and b.) a pussy.
    But let’s look at the Second Amendment, which for the record, most of the folks I have found arguing for their rights under it, have actually NEVER read. Here is what it says:
     
     
    A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
     
     
    When can we begin to talk about the “well regulated” part of the amendment that gun owners cling to?
    Now the second amendment was written as a protection from government tyranny….but even the dudes who wrote it (wearing high heels and wigs and writing with a feather mind you), understood that this “militia” needs to be WELL REGULATED. Their muskets took 5 minutes to reload and they rode horses. So does the possibility of our citizens being armed really uphold the spirit of the second amendment as a check and balance for government tyranny in the modern age of F-15 fighters, nuclear weapons, or death strike drones? Which one of us is going to fire up the nuclear stocked F-15 to take on the government when this hypothetical overthrow of tyranny goes down?
    Which brings me to my next point…..WHY CAN I NOT OWN A ROCKET PROPELLED GRENADE (RPG)? I mean, if I have this right to bear arms, why can I not have my own nuclear weapon? It is arms, and the Constitution says…You see the issue? There are obviously limitations on what types of arms we can and cannot own for good reason. Yet the gun lobbies have sold this bag of shit to the American public that the second amendment should allow anyone and everyone to own any type of gun they want, regardless of it killing ability and likelihood of abuse. Super…so why stop there? Fuck you..I do not even want a gun, I want my rocket propelled grenade and it is my fucking right as an American. I do not want to shoot someone who is committing a crime…I want to blow their ass to smithereens, and so I should be allowed to have an RPG. It is unjust that I cannot.
    This is the logic behind the gun control argument…..it is senseless and dangerous. Sure, you should and do have the right to bear arms. You should not have the right to wander into a gun shop and buy a mass murder killing machine on a whim any time you have had a bad couple of months and life has got you feeling helpless. I mean, I have to take a fucking test to drive my fucking car because it is so fucking dangerous, yet this James Holmes kid can wander into any gun shop in CO and buy a killing machine and order thousands of rounds of ammunition on the internet without so much as asking him a question on how he intends to use said mass murder weapon device? HUH? I have to take a test to drive a car….no test, conversation, or question asked for mass murder weapon. Gotcha….
    Maybe I am missing something…
    But since this is a cannabis blog, I will also mention the fact that YOU HAVE NO SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS as a medical cannabis user and the NRA could give a shit…So before you go getting all gung-ho supportive of the Nation’s gun lobby, just remember, if you smoke weed they do not want to know you. How is that for your Second Amendment protectors? Here is an article I did for West Coast Leaf that refreshes that situation for you:
    Feds say cannabis patients have no 2nd Amend rights

    United States Pharmacopoeia update:
     
    Just got this back (see below) from the U.S.P., which is the
    semi-private/governmental group that lists, WHAT IS — IS NOT official
    Medicines in the US. Cannabis was listed as such between the year 1850
    and 1942.
     
    Basically they want between $400 and $800 dollars to search for
    information on why they delisted Cannabis back in 1942 (as if we didn't
    already know) AND with no assurance of them finding anything. ugh!

    RE: FW: From Andrew Garret – USP request for help
    July 24, 2012
    Andrew,
     
    In response to your request, USP has conducted a preliminary search for
    records and the only Cannabis-related documents on hand pertain to
    synthetic drugs Dronabinol and Nabilone. If you are interested in
    obtaining these records, the estimated time to review these files will be
    between 2 to 4 hours at $200.00 /hour.
     
    Documents pertaining to the deletion of the cannabis monograph from the
    USP compendium may or may not be found at the Wisconsin Historical Society
    (WHS), which is the repository for USP’s archived documents. WHS is a
    state archive that is available to the public. You are welcome to direct
    your request for information there.
     
    Please let me know if you have any further questions.
     
    Kind regards,
    Mario

    When you break it down it’s not that hard to see why Don Duncan and Steph Sherer making deals with the Federal Government to enact a plan for federal distribution of medical marijuana.
     
    An elaborate plan that both eliminates any competition and set them up as Government Liaison of All Distribution (G.L.A.D.).
     
    Don Duncan’s next step through the use of A.S.A. was to push for “Restrictive Permitting and Controlled Regulations”, this was gave the cities the right to close down city wide stores while lobbing the county council to allow one or two collectives to open.
     
     Why the Federal Crackdown – Failure to achieve zoning in San Diego is directly due to greed within the medical marijuana movement –
    Failure to achieve zoning for collectives is vital to understanding the next steps. This failure is a direct result of the “California Cartel” based out of Oakland, CA., a lobby group calling themselves “Americans For Safe Access”. This group allegedly started with organized crime money from Amsterdam, which founder Don Duncan brought with him to set up Berkely Patient Group and Harborside in Oakland, a city known for gangs and drugs, where $politicians$ were easily had. To dominate what they saw as a lucrative commercial pot market, first calling themselves the Berkley Patient Alliance, they lobbied to have themselves a “restrictive permit” which would forbid other collectives and eliminate competition. This worked and just those two stores bring in well over $70 million per year.
    Don Duncan then moved to LA and set up several stores, one of which is LAPCG. Sources say this store brings in about $30,000 per day. Duncan was quickly able to secure a local politician in his back pocket and carve out a “restrictive permit” to keep other stores out of West Hollywood. Duncan also operated under CannBe Corporation and Harborside Management Associates with a new blueprint strategy and began his quest to get the federal government to allow him sole and his investors sole distribution rights.
    Americans for Safe Access is a front lobby, not a social movement. They hold groups and operate like a cult, insisting that members never question, but only follow orders. Follow leaders around with signs, stand behind them, as the leaders go in the back room and make deals for themselves and their wealthy investors. ASA is not about medical marijuana. Not about medical patients. Not about ending arrests and prosecutions. ASA is about greed. ASA leaders and followers will do anything to secure their right to sell marijuana, including threaten murder, commit assault, set people up, conduct smear campaigns, disrupt meetings and threaten people in groups working on zoning or rights for all medical marijuana users. There are no limits. ASA is a front for organized crime, pure and simple. It is important for us all to watch Don Duncans stores to see if they are closed, as the government is threatening to do to the average citizen. These stores are Berkely
    Patient Group, Harborside, LAPCG, Mother Earth Cooperative – El Cajon,
    Desert Organic Solutions store in Palm Springs, Santa Barbara and Venice Beach. Combined these stores bring in an estimate $150 million per year. So why are you being told you are violating the law while the largest marijuana dealer in the state of California remains untouched?
     
    ASA – Don Duncan has a blueprint which has worked successfully in numerous cities. This is a blueprint where he creates chaos, undermines all attempts at zoning, and then walks in and offers himself as the solution to the chaos he helped create in order to secure himself an exclusive liscence to sell marijuana in that city. This has been confirmed repeatedly and has spread to other states where they use $$$ mega money to lobby politicians looking at medical marijuana to reject allowing patients to grow for themselves and instead encourage governments to allow 4 stores for which they negotiate at least two of those stores for themselves securing their marijuana millions.
     
    When the city has approximately 100 stores, Don Duncan and ASA lobbyists will approach city officials that giving them an exclusive right to sell marijuana is the answer to what they will call “the proliferation of dispensaries”, which they created to setup the very scenario, which uniformed city officials who are not aware that this is an organized crime syndicate will sometime fall for
    In San Diego this is Mother Earth Cooperative which Eugene Davidovich and Don Duncan set up and found front man Bob Reidell who is a lifelong friend of ASA leader Dion Markgraaf
     
    The shutdowns begin. – This is where we currently are at this point
    Once the shutdowns start, ASA group will convince it’s most loyal followers that “safe access” means they help locate collectives and groups, even those actually working as cultivation groups to eliminate them. Anybody perceived as “competition” will be set up or eliminated.
    Even if you do not live in SanDiego it is important that you fully understand this blueprint because San Diego activist were warned prior to the start, and as they worked on achieving zoning that would allow collective groups to operate under state law, they were no match for the organized crime and violence, threats and harassment set up by Don Duncans San Diego ASA. Americans for Safe Access is nothing more than an organized crime cartel, using short haircuts and ties to present the appearance to government that they are legitimate, all the while threatening murder and mayhem outside the city and county offices.
     
    AMERICANS FOR SAFE ACCESS IS A LIE. IT IS A MARIJUANA CARTEL WHO USES INTIMIDATION, SMEAR CAMPAIGNS, AND VIOLENCE TO ELIMINATE THEIR COMPETITION AS THEY SEEK TO TREAT THE LAWS MADE TO BENEFIT THE SICK AND DYING AS A REASON TO MAKE THEMSELVES RICH.
    THEY ARE NOT WORKING TO END ARRESTS AND IMPRISONMENT. THEY ARE NOT THERE TO HELP YOU, UNLESS IT IT IS THE FIRST YEAR OF WHEN THEY DECIDE TO TAKE OVER A CITY WITH THEIR ASA AGENDA.
    AFTER THAT, YOU ARE FISH FOOD.
     
    LOOK TO THE STORY OF AL CAPONE to understand what is happening now with ASA-NARC-RESTRICTIVE PERMITTING stores being targeted for shutdown.
    Al Capone was ratting people out for years in exchange for being allowed to be the dominate force in his industry.  But, at some point the FEDS had no use for him anymore.  They could not really arrest him for crime because his defense would be that he was doing it with the permission of local authorities.  So they sent in other FEDERAL agencies, IRS, etc to shut him down.
     
    So, as we see the ASA Mega Stores Harborside, Berkely Patient Group and Mother Earth in El Cajon being closed and challenged,  let us all please keep in mind that these are the same people who, in the words of Dennis Peron, "HIJACKED THIS MEDICAL MARIJUANA MOVEMENT".  These people did not work to end the arrests for all mmj patients, they did not work to create a level playing field.  They used others as human cannon fodder to obtain restrictive permits.  Then, according to ASA and Harborside insiders, they ran like the mafia, located small collectives, warned them to shut down and sent the police to shut them down.  In their greed they wanted all the money.
     
    Well, I for one say "Goodbye and Good Riddance".  It is only when we as a movement are willing to take a hard look at the greed that is controlling this "movement" we can change it to turn cannabis into what it should be. ASA is not the "voice of a movement".  They are bullies.  They have backed death threats, groups stalking, harassment, smear and intimidation campaigns to get their restrictive permits.  These people take credit for lawsuits they had nothing to do with.  They manipulate other groups into standing by silently even when the leaders of these groups know exactly what is going on. 
     
    ANY GROUP WHICH IS A LOBBY WHICH REPRESENTS SETTING UP WEALTHY INVESTORS WITH RESTRICTIVE PERMITS SHOULD DO WHAT THEY FEEL THEY ARE ENTITLED TO DO, BUT THEY SHOULD STOP PRETENDING TO BE REPRESENTING A SOCIAL CAUSE.
     
    Worse yet, their disease of greed and lies is spreading to other states where they are actually encouraging legislators to make patient growing illegal and forcing people to buy from few dispensaries which they will help organize and profit from.  By doing this they can assure themselves millions and insure that legitimate medical marijuana patients will be left out in the cold.
     
    It is time to unite behind one cause.  That is ridding ASA from being a voice and relegating them to what they are, one more greedy corporate interest.

    CannBe Corporation – Aspiring to be the McDonalds of marijuana – the engine
    that drives Americans for Safe Access policy
     
     
    “They also stand in front of the Oakland CO-op (ID) center and handing
    out Fliers telling people of their store. ASA is funded by Harborside, and
    they treat competition like the mafia, first they are approached and warned
    that they should close, then, comes the cops.”"Analyzing the City Beat
    Article. This is the cooperative ASA founder Don Duncan wants WeedlyNews
    to stop talking about so much that he sent San Diego ASA leader and NUG Mag
    ASA propaganda Rag (imho) Dion Markgraaf to implore that we bury the story
    about how ASA is most likely the “HIDDEN INVESTOR” of this MEGA-WEEDMART,
    which stands to make 50 million – 100 million per year if they can just get
    the city to close all the stores!
     
    Wow, has greed HIJACKED the medical marijuana movement? Why, YES, it has.
    THE RESTRICTIVE PERMITTING LIE THAT ASA FOUNDER USES TO HIJACK A MOVEMENT
    AND MONOPOLIZE THE MARIJUANA INDUSTRY
     
    A very reputable high ranking INSIDER in Bay Area ASA gives of this inside
    look,
     
    *“They also stand in front of the Oakland CO-op (ID) center and handing
    out Fliers telling people of their store. ASA is funded by Harborside, and
    they treat competition like the mafia, first they are approached and warned
    that they should close, then, comes the cops.”"*
     
    *Today, finally a mainstream news source touches on the story we have been
    covering for over a month*
    Let’s check out some quotes from today’s City Beat article and we will give
    you our take:
     
    1)City Beat on analyzing protecting patients and grower information
    – ”conclusion was grim — collectives seem more interested in protecting
    their product than protecting patient privacy.”
     
    Our Reply: No more so than the new WEEDMART, *ASA invested, controlled and
    arranged (allegedly) MOTHER EARTH HEALING ALTERNATIVE COOPERATIVE in El
    Cajon.*
     
    *_____________________________________________________*
     
    2) from city beat: “”*the biggest question might be who has access to the
    information”"*
     
    *Our reply – “AGREED“*
     
    *____________________________________________________*
     
    * *
     
    *3) From City Beat – *“”*That these collectives aren’t even taking steps to
    disclose their policies and the risks to patients is alarming*. Giving
    patients notice of the policy, Givens says, is the most important policy of
    all.”‘
     
    * *
     
    *our reply, “AGREED“*
     
    *_____________________________________________________*
     
    *4)*From City Beat *- “” all the collective paperwork CityBeat and PRC
    analyzed, Mother Earth’s agreement required the most information, including
    basic medical history, current health problems and other medications taken.”
    ‘”" did not include anything in the way of privacy disclosures”"*
     
    our reply*, “That and MORE. Mother Earth has agreed to make all patient
    and grower records available to LAW ENFORCEMENT UPON REQUEST – No warrant
    needed, no attempts to protect it’s members and growers.*
     
    *______________________________________________________*
     
    *5) from city beat quoting Bob Reidel, frontman for WEEDMART, ““We track how
    many dollars they’ve spent, how many types of medicine they purchased, the
    type of medicine, the quantity of medicine,” Riedel says.”"I need my print-out
    for the last year of what I’ve done with you guys.’ They can give you that.
    We can, too.”‘”*
     
    *our reply, ‘THANKS FOR THAT INFO RIEDEL, YOU FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE
    ADDRESSES OF GROWERS AND PATIENTS THAT YOU ARE SHARING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
    UPON REQUEST AND WITH NO WARRANT NEEDED.*
     
    *And he is.*
     
    *From what we hear, Reidel, the software company have been working with the
    Sheriff to make all the information as accessible and easy to under stand
    as possible, yet Reidel, Davidovich, Don Duncan and others have worked to
    NOT LET YOU BE INFORMED ABOUT THIS SITUATION, in addition remember that NUG
    MAG is an ASA propaganda RAG that is ASA funded and owner Dion Markgraaf is
    the former ASA leader, still pulling strings and friends with Don Duncan by
    at least 1995.*
     
    *OUR OPINION – Things are going to rapidly deteriorate in San Diego’s mmj
    community, as the investors who put big money into Mother Earth expecting
    50-100 million a year, use the information that ASA Davidovich has been
    gathering for the last year and half to close down the stores so they
    can eliminate
    their competion. (By the same unwitting collectives actually spending money
    to adverstise in NUG Magazine which by all appearance is FUNDING THEIR
    DEMISE, in my opinion)*
    *this is from an email about what goes on with Americans for SAFE access in
    the bay area:*“They also stand in front of the Oakland CO-op (ID) center
    and handing out Fliers telling people of their store. ASA is funded by
    Harborside, and they treat competition like the mafia, first they are
    approached and warned that they should close, then, comes the cops.”"
     
    *————————————————————————————————–*
     
    *6) We have attorney Lance Rogers input. Lance Rogers is representing
    this weedmart, ASA linked Investment AND WHAT HE APPEARS TO BE DOING IS
    PURPOSELY NOT LETTING PATIENTS AND GROWERS BE AWARE OF THE RISK THEY ARE
    TAKING WHEN THEY WALK THROUGH THE DOOR OF EL CAJONS MOTHER EARTH
    COOPERATIVE. *
     
    *As far as my person opinion, Lance Rogers got lucky on the first Jovan
    Jackson case b/c all the judges were mad at Bonnie Dumanis for blacklisting
    respected judge Einhorn, at is was judge Cynthia Bashants last criminal
    trial before she was moving on so she did not care about Bonnie’s agenda.
    Judge Bashant allowed the defense to do what they wanted in the first case.*
     
    *By the second trial, the Davidovich inner circle had bullied, harassed and
    assaulted those who normally attend court support, to enable him to be the
    only voice, those who went anyway were harassed by Davidovich and company.
    From what I say, my opinion is that “attorney LANCE ROGERS” HAD HIS HEAD SO
    FAR UP DAVIDOVICH’S ASS THAT HE FAILED TO REPRESENT HIS CLIENT ADEQUATELY.*
     
    *Davidovich made waves in the press about how ASA was going to APPEAL for
    Jovan Jackson, but insiders tell us that as soon as the cameras were gone,
    so was ASA, and another attorney had to write the appeal. ASA should have
    appealed, especially since it was Eugene’s doing that Lance did not bother
    to fight for his client (my opinion) instead, just declaring that they
    would appeal the issue of sales, and (my opinion) allowing his $$
    investment $$ Davidovich – ASA – Mother Earth Coop – Staged Case $$ (my
    opinion) to DISTURB THE COURTROOM to try to draw publicity to HIMSELF, and
    created a situation where the judge had a metal detector installed, by
    which Davidovich then claimed it was the judges fault, when Davidovich and
    Marcus Boyd had stood up and disrupted the courtroom to the point all this
    was necessary, and those in attendance, observed, THAT IT APPEARED LANCE
    ROGERS, THE “ATTORNEY” WAS ACTUALLY TAKING ADVICE ABOUT HOW TO PROCEED FROM
    DAVIDOVICH….(allegedly and in my opinion)*
     
    *Back to the story at hand. The purpose of the above piece of information
    is to tie in attorney Lance Rogers, with Eugene Davidovich who literally it
    is hard to see Lance’s face anymore, b/c it is so far up Davidovichs ASA, I
    mean ASS. *
     
    *Now we know why, don’t we? How much will Lance Rogers make representing
    Mother Earth Cooperative? How much did he make teaching at LCI about how
    you too can open a store, only to be working with the same people….well,
    this goes on….but in our opinion you are intelligent enough to*
     
    *pu**t two*
     
    * and two together.*
     
    *Okay, so here is the quote from Lance Rogers, as taken from the City Beat
    article, “*
    Lance Rogers, the attorney who represents Mother Earth, why its paperwork
    doesn’t disclose the issue of warrantless law-enforcement access to
    records. Rogers responded that the agreement does state that the
    cooperative is “operating in full compliance” with “San Diego County Code
    21.2501,” the ordinance that requires the access.We asked Rogers whether it
    was fair to assume patients know that’s what “full compliance” means.“It’s
    my position that stating the law does put the patient on notice, but if
    there is additional information that would make it more clear, I’m happy to
    review it,” Rogers says.
     
    *_**Our Reply:*

    MONTH AWARD for jeapordizing a medical marijuana community- IMHO and

    ASA has conducted death threats, smear campaigns, group stalking, harassment, intimidation and violence in their efforst to control California's marijuana market. 
     
    You can quote me on that,

    We have all been duped by ASA
    This scam has happened in city after cityASA sponsors schools and shady lawyers to encourage people to open small stores and then goes to the local government to shut you all down and they will help in exchange for a restrictive permit so they can be the only ones to sell marijuana.  ASA front stores are BPG, Harborside, LAPCG, MOTHER EARTH EL CAJON, Desert Organic Solutions store in Palm Springs, Santa Barbara and Venice Beach. Combined these stores bring in an estimate $150 million per year.  As you can see by reading pages 11-17 in the county code briefly cited by shit attorney Lance Rogers, Mother Earth El Cajon had agreed to turn in all growers and their addresses to the law enforcement without their knowledge or consent.  Lance Rogers is an asshole and does not represent this movement.  In fact, if you used him to set up your store you should file a bar complaint to soliciting clients, conflict of interest, advice to conduct illegal business. 
    ASA is nothing more than a lobby that uses people as human cannon fodder to set up RESTRICTIVE PERMITS for their wealthy investors.  Need proof?  We have it.
    Why your collective was really shut down
    TheWeedlyNews.com” has put out extensive information regarding information we had received from numerous other cities which shows a clear blueprint for their creation of their pot monopoly which they are building through restrictive permitting.  It goes like this: They encourage stores to open. Then when enough stores are open, they go to their local government and tell them the way to shut the stores down is to give them a “restrictive permit”. They then use any information they have obtained from you or about you to assist in shutting you down.  PLEASE CHECK THEWEEDLYNEWS.COM FOR FULL STORY
    Mother Earth Cooperative was the reason you were shut down- Full Details in theWeedlyNews
    Legal Cannabis Institute, Crap Attorney Lance Rogers conspired with ASA to set you up and sell you out.  They advertised that you could open a retail store,took your money, you set up, if you are lucky you were not arrested.  The whole point of it was what Lance and ASA (Don Duncan and Eugene Davidovich) were
    working on the entire time which was to offer you up as barter, calling you drug dealers and that the way to SHUT YOU ALL DOWN was to give them a restrictive
    permit.  We have video footage of them lobbying for this at Govt hearings.  THEY GOT THEIR RESTRICTIVE PERMIT with Mother Earth El Cajon and then went
    in and lobbied TO GET ALL THE STORES IN THE CITY SHUT DOWN so they could make $20 million per year.  If I had supported ASA or hired Lance Rogers
    I would hold them accountable for their actions.  Harborside is the nest of ASA Restrictive Permitting Pot Monopoly.  Our research will show both Harborside and
    Mother Earth offer to be Narcs in exchange for their Mega Stores.  They are now whining, because like Al Capone, the Feds finally got tired of them.

    ASA was meeting with FEDS trying to get exclusive Marijuana Distribution rights for ThemselvesPlease read theWeedlyNews article: Asa and the Federal Connection for proof on video. Don Duncan and Steph Sherer making deals with the Federal Government to enact a plan for federal distribution of medical marijuana.  Don Duncan’s next step through the use of A.S.A. was to push for “Restrictive Permitting and Controlled Regulations”, this was gave the cities the right to close down city wide stores while lobbing the county council to allow one or two collectives to open
