Some Personal Questions

Nobody knows this stuff but you.

Before you begin any exploration of this site I would very much appreciate you stopping for a moment to answer a few quick questions. I just want you to take a good look at yourself. The answers will show just how relevant this blog will be to you and your particular situation.  They will also provide a framework and will focus your attention when you continue your wanderings and consider my arguments for some social networking.

If you got to Number 25 and answered “No” then you should understand that this Goan Smee blog and CASH are my attempt to help end the isolation and frustration. I hope we can make it a central locus for information, fellowship and assistance. Given my obvious distaste for Mr. Harper I am also trying to build a social network to advocate for retention of the Growth Provisions.
The biggest and most important question is whether you and enough of your Fellow Licensees can be concerned enough to try and save the Program. 
Every Licensee out there has the maximum power available to any citizen and that is your vote. Everyone out there is some MP’s constituent and while one e-mail won’t get much attention, it might if it has company from a bunch of buddies that tell him to smarten up. There is strength in numbers but, if nothing else I get a shot at giving Dumbo an Attitude Adjustment.

Please read the following post: A Critical Comment re History. It’s about as straightforward an explanation as to how the Marihuana Medical Access Program got to its current ineffective state as I can give. If nothing else it’s a reasonable explanation for how you screw up so badly.

Please consider joining the club or at least let us know that you are out there and paying attention, just hit reply and say Watching You. I handle paranoia well and that will put you on my mailing list for updates.

If you would like to comment on anything pro or con please do so.

In hope
