According to this article by ADN Wasilla's city council unanimously voted to ban cannabis businesses within city limits. What the heck Wasillabillies? You already have such a huge underground sales ring going on- legalize it! Monitor it. Regulate it. TAX it! The article says it will take a 100 signatures to begin challenging the ballot. Time to get signing Wasilla folks. |

Amazing how a few select "do gooders" can override a vote that the people approved.
Once again, it shows voting doesn't do a thing IMHO

So much for the will of the people and the economic development of the community. Damn, so much for good jobs in town too.

Logically thinking...seems the city council has more to lose than gain from allowing legal sales in city limits. do i have to spell it out?

Doh! Should be keeping my mouth shut but ehh..
Speculation, i havent the slightest idea who the council members are..
I have heard rumors of political figures whom grow and sell locally. Maybe they dont,.. whos to say they arent being paid off by soon to be black market sellers?
There really isnt a valid reason for denying cannaSales in a valley known for .. Not when the sales and taxes can do soo much. Unless someone stands to lose money..

I do agree that could very well be why, but do keep in mind obstructionist just hate "pot smokers" for no reason at all they are pretty much biggots so any silly laws they are in the position to make against legalization, in their mind its the right thing to do.
Its pretty hard to change your mind at 50 when the government tells you its bad for 70 years and you have no experience yourself,but then again they are on a power trip and going against the will of the people ! And that should be political suicide, so lets see how that pans out in the long run for them. Everyone in the valley needs to get out and vote! or live under the rule of these fools.

I can see what your saying, hard to teach them extremely old dogs new tricks, and they don't like change. Yet I'm tired of the same old, same old, sit back, wait out all the red tape, political pandering, etc.... To end up being hog tied and bowing to their will, and left with scraps, with what was once a fine prime rib. |

These are the same people/same type of ignorance weve been dealing with on many topics... Gay marriage, race issues, etc.. |

I can't even express how much discontent I have over this whole "clusterfuck"
Seems weed won the popular vote, but will never have the electoral vote for the win!!
