homersapien 11,513 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Interesting development.

The former Republican congressional leader — and famed wine-drinker — announced Wednesday he is joining the board of Acreage Holdings, a firm that cultivates, processes and dispenses marijuana in 11 U.S. states......

keoson7 28 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 we all know that as soon as the politicians start getting paid, the wait will be over.. Colorado's state govt is not about to give up that weed tax money.. Right now the only ones profiting from weed in illegal states, are these two bit crooked municipalities.. No reason for these crooks to give up their easy thefts.. Only way to stop their scam is legalization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keoson7 28 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 not enough weed lobbyists paying these P O S's to get it through, the whole thing (senate/congress)is a pay to play scam, these people need to be cycled out with term limits.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKW 86 7,481 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 See I dont believe this anymore... http://money.cnn.com/2018/01/31/news/marijuana-state-of-the-union/index.html 9 hours ago, keoson7 said: not enough weed lobbyists paying these P O S's to get it through, the whole thing (senate/congress)is a pay to play scam, these people need to be cycled out with term limits.. Just read an article that showed that 2 American Corps, ADM? and another were moving to take over Big Marijuana. Folks, trust me on this. I LOOKED AND LOOKED for the article, even went thru browser history. If I find it I will link to it. There are literally hundreds of articles out there on this but this article was in Forbes or some business mag and was printed in the last week. As soon as Big Marijuana forms up...Look out the lobby money will flow and it will be a done deal. https://www.investopedia.com/investing/top-marijuana-stocks/ https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/sites/newyorklawjournal/2018/02/05/whats-next-for-marijuana-legalization-in-ny-lawyers-tell-us/?slreturn=20180321080642 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to change campaign financing laws, not restrict the ability of voters to maintain a representative who is doing a good job. https://globalanticorruptionblog.com/2016/01/11/a-step-in-the-wrong-direction-how-term-limits-could-increase-corruption/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
