In 2016, Pueblo Voted To Become Napa Valley of Marijuana Industry

In the 2016 general election, there were 5 marijuana ballot questions, 3 of them having the potential to shut marijuana industries in Pueblo County & Pueblo City down. A 4.3% tax on marijuana shops in the city failed (Question 2C) & another marijuana ballot initiative limiting 18 plants per parcel of land passed (Question 1C). Question 1C was voted on by all of Pueblo County.

Question 300 & Question 2B could have shut down retail marijuana shops in Pueblo City, & Question 200 could have shut down retail marijuana shops in Pueblo County. All 3 of those Prohibition ballot questions - Question 200, 300, & 2B - were righteously vanquished. Question 2B was not-to-be. The anti-marijuana fascist reactionary haters were handed a resounding defeat. They tried to shut the legalization of marijuana down, but the people of Pueblo doubled down, & voted the legalization of marijuana up, yet once again. What a delicious victory. 

Here's how the numbers breakdown:
Question 2B (City): 24,330 (51.05%) to 23,333 (48.95%), by 997 votes. 

Question 200 (County): 45,728 (58%) to 33,334 (42%), by over 12,394 votes.




Question 300 (City): "No = 29,476 votes" versus "Yes = 18,724 votes" (61.15% to 38.85%), by over 10,752 votes.

The baby boomers have been lying to the younger generation for years. Marijuana is a not a Schedule 1 drug! GTFO here! Marijuana isn't on the same level as heroin, crack, ludes, PCP or acid, hell, marijuana isn't even alcohol. Amerika, you've been lying about marijuana for 46 years! Since 1971! Baby boomers... stop lying to your kids!

The reactionaries tried to shut marijuana down, but the people of Pueblo instead, declared marijuana legal here, again, which opens the door-of-change up for miles. Legalization advocates can breathe a sigh of relief. Marijuana isn't going anywhere. At least not in Pueblo. Pueblo & Marijuana will be happily married until the end of time. Pueblo can be proud that we're now the Napa Valley for the Marijuana Industry. While this is oversimplifying, macroeconomics is fundamentally based on the notion that the more stuff we as a society produce, the better our economy will be. In short, if we produce lots of stuff, then the standard of living will go up. For everybody.

Because of the marijuana industry, the Puebloan people will be filthy rich in no time.

Council-Manager ("Strong City Manager") vs. Mayor-Council ("Strong Mayor")

Image
68% of the people of Pueblo smartly decided to keep Pueblo's progressive & revolutionary 1954 City Charter intact 8 years ago. In 2009, 68% of the people of Pueblo rejected the "Strong Mayor/Weak Council" Amendment. Denver's "strong mayor/weak city council" system is used an example for Pueblo to emulate, but Denver County & Denver City has also been consolidated for 115 years now (since November 15, 1902). I'm in favor of uniting the City of Pueblo with Pueblo County, so if we're trying to be like Denver, then we better hurry up & Consolidate our County & City first. Nicholas Gradisar, a Pueblo lawyer & Water Board Member, is a major force behind the push for the "Mayor-Council" amendment. City Councilmen Bob Schilling (up for reelection) & Chris Nicoll (not up for reelection) both are for overthrowing Pueblo's current legal infrastructure with the "Mayor-Council" Amendment too. Mr. Gradisar reject...

On The 1804 Haitian Declaration of Independence

"Despots and tyrants curse the day that I was born." ~Jean-Jacques Dessalines Dessalines says that the Haitian people fought for 14 years for Freedom. "In the end, we must live independent or die. Independence or death . . . let these sacred words unite us and be the signal of battle and of our reunion." Free or Die. Independence or Death. That's just like Patrick Henry's "Liberty or Death!" Jean-Jacques Dessalines verbally dictated what he wanted written down in the Haitian Declaration of Independence to his secretary Boisrond-Tonnerre (1804). Dessalines was illiterate, so he wasn't able to write anything down. Tonnerre is the actual author of the 1804 Haitian Declaration of Independence. It's rumored that Boisrond-Tonnerre got the job of writing the Haitian Declaration of Independence from Dessalines for suggesting that "we should have the skin of a white man for parchment, his skull for an inkwell, his blood for ink...
