Initiative to Legalize Cannabis Placed on November’s Ballot in Berkley, Michigan
An initiative to legalize cannabis in Berkley, Michigan has officially qualified for the November ballot, according to Tim Beck, director of the Safer

If approved by voters this November 4th, the initiative will legalize the possession, use and transfer of up to an ounce of cannabis for adults 21 and older. Similar initiative have been approved in the Michigan cities of Detroit, Lansing, Ferndale, Jackson, Flint and Grand Rapids.

“Berkley is another community in Michigan that’s going to be liberating itself come November”, Beck tells us. “We look forward to at least a dozen other cities doing the same.”

so many can’t understand why our weed is still in chains. The simple reason is Big Pharma will not accept a profit loss of any kind. The first rule of business is to , never do anything thats hurts your bottom line. The second rule is, If compelled to do something that hurts your bottom line, Do it Kicking and Screaming. I’m not making this up. God forbid the money grubbing doggshit running these companies can’t Horsefuck every individual in the country every month for a large portion of their income. Once the older people who are most susceptible to this added cost realize they’ve been fooled by J Edgar Hoover(a degenerate gambler with ties to organized crime) and Willliam Randolph Hearst( only to protect his timber/paper investments), Only when folks realize they can grow their own medicine and save themselves thousands and thousands of dollars growing their own feel good will they finally realize. The Longer one goes perpetuating a lie the Harder it is for one to accept they’ve been wrong al along.
