One thing i forgot to add was a teaser for Pete, namely all the free starbucks coffee that was plentifully supplied throughout the conference.

Right, and “All the world is a Stage.” Sure, it’s not so bad, up until the point where the cops force their way into your house, shoot your dog, maybe shoot you and/or your friends, completely and utterly humiliate you, and lock you in a cage and treat you like an animal, then whip you around like a slave. Up until that point, it’s a lot of fun. Of course, it’s even more fun if you’re the one wearing the uniform, which explains why those people generally don’t support drug reform policies.

Thanks for the inside reports on the Reform Conference. While I am already aware of much of the ideas presented, I was enlightened by much of it as well. The figures on Civil Asset Forfeiture were new to me. There’s another aspect to add to the huge Big Government’s Prohibitionist vulture’s funds. I wonder, does it make the DEA and the Feds proud to be compared to vultures?

There’s a sad tendency for some drug reformers to sorta want to sell marijuana or other drugs in licenced stores, and then again they deep down really, really would truly like to see it, well, not really sold in any efficient way at all.

Debby really did the job that an economist should’ve done at explaining how advertising – at least for MMJ – isn’t alway the evil it’s always made out to be. Some at the panel offered that it had to be an “anonymous” or non-branded products, but frankly – while it’s very PC – it’s utter nonsense and people DO want to know the strain and that sort of thing.
