Nov. 28 - Last night Seattle and Vancouver joined 5 other west coast cities in planning to shud down ports all along the West Coast on December 12. With this addition it means that every west coast occupation in a city with a port is now participating in the port blockade. Together we are unstoppable.
The city of Los Angeles is contemplating banning medical marijuana facilities. Which means that though the state has set up a way for patients to legally smoke marijuana, the citizens of LA will have no legal way to purchase it.
The city council claims they have no choice because otherwise, “dispensaries will pop up all over the city.” So much for capitalist politicians and they’re love of the free market. Of course, if they ban the dispensaries, people will just go back to getting their drugs from gangs like in the bad-old-days (just like most places in the US).
If you want to let the Los Angeles city council know that you’re opposed to their plan, the article links to a petition.
