Obama's Oakland Visit: Marijuana Lovers Promise To Be There by Chris Roberts
Well this should be interesting!! Obama's reelection campaign chose Oakland as their Bay Area headquarters and the President will arrive in town on Monday at the Fox Theater for a fundraiser. Coincidence or is this Obama's plan of attack? Who knows and who gives a shit it's politics (we will never know the truth), but it surely makes it a little more interesting. As we all know Oaksterdam, a cultural district on the north end of downtown Oakland, offers medical cannabis in a variety of competitively priced smokeable and edible preparations that are available for purchase in multiple cafes, clubs and patient dispensaries. Simply put...Oakland depends on medical marijuana. However, U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag and the federal Justice Department are attempting to close the state's most successful dispensary, Harborside Health Center, as well as many others in the state. Harborside Health Center has been fully compliant with the legalities of their business on a state level, but Melinda Haag claims that they are getting "too large". WTF? Too large? This is business, so a large business is a successful business. So Melinda Haag is basically saying if you are too successful you should be shut down. Isn't this America? Where we promote and encourage success? Anyways I could rant and rave on Melinda Haag all day but back to the point...On Monday hundreds of marijuana activists will be glad to greet Obama with a protest for allowing these dispensary shut downs. So in the meantime stay medicated and stay tuned for an update!
