hello good people of the cryptocurrency world!
i've learned a lot in the last few days about what it means when a gangsta calls a shyster a "fa**ot."
turns out in gangsta vernacular, the name has nothing to do with sexuality. it means "weak man." It wasn't slurring homosexuals....he dosen't do that..i know because i AM one....he's slurring a weak man, using old school vernacular....and rightfully so.
Maybe i'm a little too old school, but if there's a fight, i'd rather align on the side of a gangsta telling a truth, than a shyster child abuser, lying.
I am a long time medical cannabis patient in washington state. I've been a "member" on the thumb, since its start in 2011. I don't post much, but i pay attention. I know all you people all over the world think we evolutionaries in Washington State have gone and made cannabis "legal" in washington state, and you want in on the "green rush" free for all..... but you have another think coming...
What we've done in the last 20 years, is force our state to decriminalize medical use of cannabis, and for the first 15 years of those "legal MEDICAL cannabis" years, there were still lots of busts, and we still have patients in jail for medical cannabis charges, even though they were "legal" medical patients. You see...the feds don't give a care what the state's say....the feds still consider cannabis a felony offense, and they have proven in the past over and over again, that they will come in, jack boot down everyone's door, and cart them off to jail for any amount of cannabis, in any form, whenever they feel like it. Five people in washington who were growing medical cannabis together, as a family, for their own use, and as valid medical cannabis patients, are embroilled in a federal trial right now....from an arrest just a few months ago.
then, just a year or so ago, we the people of washington, the state, using the initiative privilege provided in our state constitution, also forced our state government, to ALSO decriminalize and facilitate RECREATIONAL use of cannabis in Washington state, and instructed our state to get it started. But cannabis is felony and illegal in the united states of america...ANY cannabis; the prohibition of cannabis has not been repealed. You think the federal government is going to take lightly an international cryptocurrency intended to be for and about cannabis? Think again. "Canna"coin is about cannaBIS and just might be the door that opens back up all the raids, jailings, beatings and other human abuses, and sets us back to the days of scoring our medicine on the streets, from thugs. Of course it could be!
The kind and loving people on the NWGT, who have done so much to help so many people with their health, happiness and well-being have served the patient community tirelessly, but we KNOW we are on the fringe and we BELIEVE in an adults right to use a plant, without penalty or fear, and we are, to a person, willing and DO take that risk. We are NOT willing to take the risk so cryptocurrency speculators, can profit...and certainly not help a "coin" though the next, critical phase of development by endlessly microtipping each other with it.
I know enough about cannaCOIN (and cryptocurrency) to know that it will bring unneeded and unnecessary attention to our otherwise low-key, chill, and loving community....it already is.....and i understand and respect that the community, itself, is not in favor of this added risk. Particularly, i can see that many of the long-time growers and providers and patients of medical cannabis in Washington State, do not appreciate and will not stay silent about being used (and misrepresented) in a marketing plan for cannacoin. How many of us there are (at NWGT) was grossly misrepresented..intentionally....to the people here and elsewhere, to get YOUR money and buy-in; how many of us (at NWGT) who are ready and eager to uptake cannacoin, has also been grossly misrepresented to fool YOU into thinking cannacoin is a no fail, sure thing. Cannacoin hasn't been honest. We HAVE to speak up. Unfortunately, we have been "silenced" at NWGT.
We also do not appreciate "uncovering" the background marketing strategies that talk about us, as a group of humans, like we are cattle, to be herded into using cannacoin for a newly implemented microtipping feature.....while other places online the developers of cannacoin "dab their meds" on youtube and discuss in other places online, that the NUMBER OF TRANSACTIONS on the coin HAS to be increased at this critical time in cannacoin's development, and without such uptick in the NUMBER of transactions, the coin will not likely prosper.
It is no wonder the community feels "set up" to uptake a cryptocurrency we don't want or need, to provide the needed "Number of Transactions" necessary (by making microtransaction tips between us), so that a sideline, speculative enterprise, can prosper and profit. To us, this feels like abusing sick people.
We are coming here, and will continue to come here, and we will go where-ever this conversation continues, or needs to be raised, until these issues are respectfully recognized and honored. If they are NOT addressed fully, completely, and honestly, we will...and are...leaving. NWGT was formed to provide a safe and secure way for medical patients in need, and medical growers with extras, to connect in safety. If we, the serious medical cannabis community, migrate elsewhere....what the "new thumb" will attract are young, oil-dabbing profiteerg men...like cannacoin....who scheme to make money speculating on sick people...and you can damn well bet not only the state of washington, but the federal goverment, and probably in cahoots.... is gonna come knocking on THAT door. If i were a federale, i would. As a medical cannabis patient who connects with my provider on the thumb, i don't want the two linked.
Medical cannabis patients are people who have end-stage cancer, people with spastic disorders that keep them from functioning in life, adults in chronic pain....the list of maladies is long, and grotesque. It is THEIR safety and security that has been compromised....and i'm NOT talking about cryptocurrency security when i say security...i'm talking HUMAN security....and i'm talking about the security of sick humans and the loving people who risk it all, to help them.
As medical cannabis growers and providers, we are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS strong, we use cannabis to LIVE, and we will NOT be bullied, nor treated as chattel or an asset to be capitalized upon. We are used to being bullied....by federal drug squad goons who hold guns to our children's heads, who trash and pillage our homes, who steal our assets as forfeiture, who terrorize our patients, and who shut us up in cells, like animals, to keep us silent. These federal drug squads have agreed to keep their "hands off" the medical cannabis community in Washington state...for now.....UNLESS and UNTIL minors, cartels, and six other "conditions" are abused.
Those conditions have been abused.....by cannacoin.
Posting a picture of a minor...a picture that was searched for on the internet, and found offsite, then posted on our medical cannabis forums, is about the WORST thing that anyone could ever do in our neck of the woods...and i hope in yours. I hope cannacoin knows this and gets of his righteous power trip to see it is the action of a "fa**ot" ....a weak man in gangsta talk.
You see, we still have to protect ourselves, as if we are gangstas.....and using and manipulating children to harm a fellow adult who disagrees with the "cryptocurrency program" but has otherwise a very valuable, generous and calming "asset" to the community.....is JUST NOT ALLOWED....even if it was an "negligent mistake" as described in the apology. The truth is: I was NOT neglect, nor was it a mistake. It was premeditated and calculated and executed, and WRONG. And the PARENT of the minor was banned for calling the guy who did it, cannacoin, a "fa**ot." Banned...his patients cannot contact him. He cannot contact his patients. He is being silenced and shunned by NWGT admins who then posted and locked a public apology and sent him PM's in an online forum from which is is banned....trying to force the guy into a private meeting, after shunning him in PUBLIC. We all recognize this banning is a "tactic" to "save" cannacoin....and now the world gets to know this cannacoin developer, is the very person...cannacoin....who is asking YOU to participate in his crypto currency scheme.
so.....
Cannacoin, the guy here, needs to make it right. I don't know how....what i do know, is: He isn't even trying. He doesn't give a flip....people can flock away from the patient centered medical cannabis community we've built, he doesn't care....because MORE, fresh, young meat, will soon turn up. Human assets can be churned. Lots of new people now love cannabis...
What Cannacoin IS doing, is spinning stuff, banning people, editing people's posts, threatening the safety and security of our medical cannabis marketplace, and endangering and threatening every single one of the patients that the site was built to accommodate. Including ME and MY patients. For money.
so...these cannacoin guys have:
1. lied to crypto currency customers using intentionally misrepresenting marketing;
2. misrepresented the number and ideals of the "human assets" they "control" in order to achieve the uptick in transaction numbers required at this stage for any cryptocurrency evolution;
3. disregarded and silenced dissenting voices from those "assets" who have valid concerns and questions;
4. abused children and endangered families;
5. violated the standing peace between our state medical cannabis system and the federal gov, threatening medical cannabis as a whole;
5. rolled out their microtransaction tipping system anyway and advised anyone who doesn't like it, to take a hike;
6. isolated and intimidated patients, many of whom are on DEATH'S DOOR.
but wait! there's more!
Here's what poking around on the internet looking for something to post about someone, yields:
These people are ALSO conspiring to ALIGN cannacoin, (after its "successful" uptake and adequate "uptick in transaction numbers" achieved via the rollout of a microtipping system on NWGT), and the medical cannabis community they CLAIM to represent, with a weasel of a self-proclaimed "activist" ...someone most of us would just like to disappear, or at least shut up, because he's that much of a weasel and embarrassment.....and again, they are planning this without asking us, the actual people who built, populate, and keep NWGT alive.
And THEY'RE scheme is to propose changes in the medical cannabis laws in our state, changes we, as patients, don't get to know about or have input on ahead of time, and to link those changes to cannacoin, based on the acceptance and uptake of "16K medical cannabis growers on the Northwest Greenthumb." This weasel, now DEPOSED as head of the Cannabis Action Coalition, is a shyster. He also regularly uses pejorative names on the thumb...like c**t and b**ch, when referring to another human being....and yet he is NOT banned, while a father who calls a shyster "fa**ot after the shyster posts a picture of a child in a forum about a federally illegal substance...and IDENTIFIES the child by name.... gets banned for calling him a "fa**ot."
Bad karma all the way around.
so...cryptocurrency community.....if YOU invest your wealth, energy, future, and karma on a scheme that misrepresents, exploits sick people for profit, abuses children in anger, treats humans as chattel to be used up and eliminated in an unspoken profit plan and undisclosed political agenda, censors free speech, and engages in behind door politicing, YOU will be FEEDING greed.
Not this fella!
Here's a tip for you: you cannacoin speculators in canada, ohio, alabama, and the majority of other states in the usa.... and in countries all around the world...go plant a big crop of cannabis as if your mother's life depended on it....take the REAL risk and put away the carpetbagging lust for wealth. It's disgusting.
END FEDERAL CANNABIS PROHIBITION
