Plant Allies: Decriminalize Nature and Lessons I

plant allies: I was part of the process that screwed up our relationship with cannabis, according to MSNBC.

In 2010, I sat at a meeting in Richmond, California lobbying the City Council to allow dispensaries to become permitted. It helped that the unregulated mortgage derivate industry had just sucked trillions of dollars out of the economy, causing de-industrialized towns like Richmond to hemorrhage from their dwindling budgets. My team presented a complex rubric of regulations they could place on the dispensaries to ensure the world would stay safe, and we seduced them with the staggering tax windfalls they'd receive once the dispensaries were fully operational.
