Marijuana is Huge Business in California, But California Big Business Says Protecting Medical Pot Users is a 'Job Killer'

lamedicalmarijuana

Medical Marijuana is such a large business the south american drug cartels have also chosen to get in on the market !! gasp

BUT people who CALL themselves journalist like Dennis Romero don't dare report on what the narcos are doing

For example in Los Angeles anyone can open up a medical marijuana dispensary so long as they pay the necessary bribes to local officials, police, and DA.

Don't think its true?

go to potlocator weedmaps or weedtracker and look at HOW many pot shops Los Angeles has operating illegally.

According to the LA City ordinance there are supposed to be no more then 100 dispensaries & they are supposed to close at 8 be zoned away from residential areas churches etc

BUT this is not the case....

Why no one reports on all the illegal pot shops in LA is a mystery

I guess the narcos got Dennis romero scared to do some real reporting!

Dennis Romero

Hey lame. Fitting name. You obviously haven't been reading our coverage. We've been all over this for years. Take care.

@Dennis Romero

little Romero won't dare cover the story in LA, SD, SF, San Jose, Oakland with the south american drug cartels taking over the so called medical marijuana dispensaries

Dennis doesn't want to mess with the zetas/narcos/organized crime.....

ain't that right Denny boy? Yea thats right little one keep up the good work & continue doing as your told by your master$

This little fella who calls himself a journalist knows his role in society and he won't dare step outta line.

Dennis has been told to stay in his office by his handlers and he is doing as he is told.

Real Journalist get out in the field and do research on the mega walmart dispensaries that are run by foreign militia-mafia groups.

Dennis Romero knows his role in society and he won't dare report on all the bribery going on in LA and elsewhere

Go fetch Dennis !

I did not expect any research or more substance out of Dennis. I was just adding to your point and expressing my disgust for what gets passed off as journalism. I appreciate your comments and understand what you mean by master$. Unfortunatley nearly most in the industry would rather collect a pay check (of ponzi scheme fiat currency) than tell the truth. We may have different views of the plant and the best solution, but I think that we could agree that things need to change. Please read Smedley Butler's "War is a Racket." It is a short quick read and can be found on the internet for free by typing in his name and the title of the book + "pdf" in a Google search. We need to stop the show for those who have been abusing the constitution, our rights and humanity for far to long. The technology is now availabe to have a truly democratic country. If we are smart we can lead the world by example...not by "do as I say, not as I do."

Dennis. Cover this story then, as I have seen little reported by the Main Stream Media (MSM). Mexico’s other border, Guatemala. Two weeks ago… "assailants thought to be from Los Zetas, a Mexico-based criminal cartel, stormed a ranch in Guatemala's Peten region and killed 27 people, beheading most of them. Guatemala's army raced to cut them off before they could get back across the border, but failed. The lack of security along Mexico's border with Guatemala is triggering concerns in Central America and as far away as Washington. Authorities now think that three Mexican drug groups have moved into the Peten, where they operate virtually unchallenged. Guatemala's president, Alvaro Colom, is voicing alarm. Worse yet, there's evidence that Los Zetas are using the lack of security on the border to smuggle north deserters from a feared Guatemalan army unit known as the Kaibiles to serve as ground troops and enforcers in Mexico's bloody drug conflict."-McClatchyDC If there were no profits to be made, these situations would not exist. Smedley Butler taught us that the way to end the racket of war, you must take the profit out of it. This is a war on drugs, so we must take the profit out of it as well. The Chamber of Commerce has no intentions of taking the profit out of anything !Citizens, please do your own research to understand this world around you. You can find further information on this story at these websites, and I am sure others too, if you look… mcclatchydc (dot) com therealnews (dot) com

JZA do you really expect someone like Dennis to do any research?

Dennis Romero is an essay writer at best.

He does no real research what so ever.

Case and Point

LA has over 1700+ illegal pot shops not paying taxes routinely and blatantly not following the LA City Medical Marijuana Ordinance....

Yet LA City is broke so why aren't taxes being collected on all these pot shops.....

These pot shops bribe local city officials, cops, the DA all while paying no taxes to the city or the government...

There is massive corruption in the major california cities concerning medical marijuana. South American cartels now have protected distribution points where by they sell their outdoor mexican weed in California....

It is only a matter of time before the narcos run more and more aspects of the government and corrupt the american system more and more.

BELIEVE ME I SAW IT HAPPE IN MEXICO and i left because it brought utter chaos and destruction.

the drug lords come in and they will show NO MERCY <--- very real

What about the people who go to work high using prescription drugs? How come the DEA or our government is'nt fighting a drug war against the pharmaceutical Industry?That's where the real drug war should be fought against.But it never will because The FDA is making trillions of dollars from Prescription drugs.Just because the FDA approves pres.Drugs and their legal don't make them Safe.Look at the side effects of deadly,toxic pres.drugs.The drug war is being fought against Marijuana for one reason:Its a Natural Substance,A Natural product that helps people with medical conditions,It is a medicine.The FDA is behind all of these Marijuana raids,Dispensary raids,etc,etc.Marijuana is taking away from their pres.drugs profits.If any product a natural product is beneficial to peoples health,cures illnesses,diseases,etc the FDA will not Approve that product.They will not Approve a Natural Substance.That says it all what The U.S. FDA is all about.They protect their drug dealing operation-The Pharmaceutical Industry.They have it made a legal drug operation.The FDA is Unregulated so they don't answer to anybody.They are above established laws which they break,they don't care what they do to Protect their profits,its all about Money to them.They also have a 4,000 member Task Force.Well funded Largest Legal drug operation in America,Worldwide.FDA $8,000,000,000,000.At their disposal.As a christian it breaks my heart knowing the pain and suffering millions of people go through needlessly because our government is Evil and corrupt.They suppress every Natural product or Substance known,proven to heal,cure illnesses,diseases,cancer.etc.All so they can continue manufacturing prescription drugs to make people sick,to continue making money.A viscous cycle.Pure evil.When the FDA,Pharmaceutical Industry have every available resource to do good to Mankind,they have chosen to do Evil and to harm,Killing for Money.God have mercy,they need it.

its all about money, the DEA will keep arresting people that use medical marijuana just for the dollars. DEA makes sooooooooo much money just from marijuana alone. They are not worried about marijuana being safe or suitable for some people, they are concerned with making the most money they can make.

Any opposition from The Captains of Cali Commerce to Rx for on-the-job use of the galaxy of mood altering drugs from "A" (Ativan) to "Z" (Zoloft)? Oops, I forgot! Those premium profit pacifier pills are manufactured, distributed, hyper aggressively "marketed" (see any "news" program on TV) and sold at primo price$ by the same Fortune 500 Corporations that make up the Cali Chamber of Commerce and their reefer madness fear mongering about anything cannibis (non-profit) related.
