FYI, in some states (Montana, for one) you CAN vote again. You can vote as soon as you are not in direct custody anymore. this is one of those things that they lie to you about. It's awful really, how they think disenfranchising felons will somehow make them more functional citizens after release. For better clarification on your voting status, call the Secretary of State's office in your state. They actually WANT people to vote, so they'll offer a different and more accurate perspective.

I wouldn't say the 'wind is at our backs'. We have two states with legalization, 16 other states with some sort of medicalization and nearly half of those have not implemented their law at all. After 26 states have full legalization and regulatory programs, THEN we will be on a downhill trend.
Not that Obama has been splendid for marijuana users-quite the opposite, but until CO and WA have been through a Republican presidential term, we can't even say we've won those two states.

Please don't buy any of those stocks. Those guys are pump and dump masters. The best way is to know and trust someone opening in WA or even better in your own state. Also there are investor groups (ArcView and others) who specialize in funding ancillary businesses.

There were nearly 30 simultaneous federal raids in Montana, while that may not sound like a lot, on a population comparison, it would be like 900 raids happening simultaneously in California. The DEA selects the leaders of the industry to take down. It has absolutely nothing to do with who is operating badly, or treating patients badly, or anything of that nature. If your establishment is seen as some kind of leader then you are targeted.

This DEFUNDs any activism in the state, because generally the biggest money makers are funding the most political action. Also, some of our own state legislators worked WITH the feds to assist them in their plans. The raids occurred on the same day as a critical vote on the medical marijuana repeal bill was happening, critically affecting how the legislators would vote, particularly since the Montana Cannabis raid was happening only a mile away.

Why does it matter? Do you ask Planned Parenthood activists if they've ever had an abortion? Do you ask AIDS activists if they are HIV positive? I do agree with the 'coming out of the closet' aspect, but as a filmmaker, that is not her role and frankly she would lose credibility if she said yes.
