Governor Kim Reynolds has intentionally obstructed marijuana patient civil rights in a multitude of truly repulsive, shady politicking ways.
Through closed door meetings, legislative conspiracies with Linda Upmeyer to set up patients in various entrapments, and expertly defying the laws of communication and shutting down reporters, journalists, and sick patients who attempted to reach Kim about marijuana for an entire year in 2019 — leading The Gazette to write this article asking Does Kim Reynolds care? — has resulted in what will be surely seen as an inevitability: less than 18 months into our still federally illegal program, Iowa marijuana companies simply shuttered their doors and announced it’s not worth the effort and loss of time or money moving forward, taking their business elsewhere, where they can better serve their consumers without Republican restrictions and hypocrisies.
In Iowa, the closure of our pioneering, brutally abused marijuana businesses also happened without any lawfully required notice. Iowa’s non-compassionate fake marijuana law is so contemptible, the company, like a bitter employee, quit without even 24 hours notice — in spite of Iowa law “requiring” a 6 month notice before closing doors to what limited patients care to take part.
According to the state, 2/3 or patients do not return after their first purchase at a dispensary, returning to the black market or worse.
Iowa seems to think it can bully everyone into doing what it wants here, such as THC limits, or the now spit on legal requirements to give six months notice when closing an Iowa marijuana dispensary, but the rest of the world is clearly not stuck in 1952, and is overly justified in telling Iowa to go fuck itself, and, the horse it rode in on.
Hopefully, this culminates in a real political payback: removal of the first in the nation caucus status, so redneck hicks no longer use their ignorance as lost moron sheep as a battering ram by their intellectual superiors, handlers, and influencers on the national stage and stay in the corn where they clearly wanted to never leave in the first place.
If your boss, in this case the State, is incompetent, do they really deserve adequate notice?
And — do they even deserve marijuana at this point?
I’m seriously asking. What is wrong with you? Or did I not ask this question enough over the past ten years since the Iowa Board of Pharmacy unanimously recommend you politicos leave these exempt patients alone?
I know exactly what needs said here, and how: Fuck off.
Really.
That is really all that’s left to say at this point from where I stand. I honestly can’t think of any witticisms, poignant quotes, or even memes. Just, fuck off.
Seriously.
Get the fuck out of here. Maybe even kill yourselves first, then, fuck off. (Understanding that concept’s esoteric implications is just as beyond your capabilities as decent sex positions or a decent cultural contribution to the future). Whatever you people are, I want you far the fuck away from me, because I’m positive, 100% at this point, that you’re not a complete human being.
Which reminds me. Where’s my butane?
While the news about the financial insolvency of Iowa’s marijuana businesses that are now permanently closed first broke without warning yesterday, we could only speculate at WeedPress first broke without warning yesterday, we could only speculate at WeedPress as to what was the cause. Our hunch that it was due to financial concerns has now been confirmed by the Muscatine Journal today:
OWNERS: Have a Heart Compassionate Care dispensaries were not economically feasible to operate
Have a Heart Compassionate Care dispensaries in Davenport had opened in late 2018. Its Council Bluffs location also closed Monday.
Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. said Have a Heart Iowa, LLC, elected to cease operations after determining it was no longer economically feasible to operate.
“Harvest Health & Recreation Inc., through a recently acquired subsidiary, provided support services to Have a Heart Iowa. Harvest’s subsidiary plans to terminate its support services agreement with Have a Heart Iowa following its decision to close the dispensaries,” Harvest Health said.
The closure comes as Iowa legislators continue to debate increasing the THC level of products in the state program. MedPharm has been vocal in that debate for two years.
“This is probably another piece of evidence that we need some improvements to the program for this to survive,” Nelson said. The “long-term sustainability of this program is at risk without improvement … we’ve got to make some improvements if this thing is going to last long-term.”
Andrew Livingston, director of economics and research at Vicente Sederberg LLP in Colorado, is co-host of the “Weed Wonks” podcast and cannabis industry veteran. He said the dispensary closures in Iowa, though rare, is a confluence of factors.
Livingston further said the reduction in assets within the cannabis business segment is something Iowa, and its legislators, need to be cognizant of moving forward.
“Iowans understand business and they understand tight profit margins, because it’s a farming state. And they understand business needs a certain amount of revenue to run and pay its employees, particularly when you’re setting up a new system that’s restrictive,” he said.
“… I would basically encourage them to consider ways to ease the operational burden and increase the potential for revenue for these medical cannabidiol businesses in Iowa so that they can continue to serve patients across the state.”
Iowa state Sen. Joe Bolkcom, D-Iowa City, has been vocal about increasing the THC cap in Iowa for the state’s medical program.
“Iowa has the most bureaucratic, expensive and ineffective program in the country and it just got worse. The medicine is expensive and it’s too hard to get people qualified,” he said Tuesday.
“More evidence is now in with two of our dispensaries essentially going out of business because it’s economically not feasible.”
The Iowa City Democrat points to the low THC cap making it hard to generate revenue for the program to work properly. While the Iowa House had passed a bill further restricting Iowa’s program, the state Senate had only gotten a bill out of committee before things ground to a halt due to COVID-19.
If the Iowa House bill moves forward, Bolkcom said it would be bad for Iowans.
If anyone has a way to cause Kim Reynolds political pain, torture, and hell fire, I’ll be waiting. Email jahkingdomcome23@gmail.com. Let’s get dirty in 2022.
In the meantime follow WeedPress on Facebook. Or don’t. I’ll still get done what I do without you paying attention, but the smarter ones usually do, so if you’re not, be smart, and pay complete attention.
This shit is now an immoral stench in my view, and nothing but perfect hatred is reasonable in response. Un-American cock suckers serving the Devil occupying positions of honor bastardized into tyrannical kings and queens of children of the corn sounds like some kind of stand-up comedy performance in Fairfield filled with mirth laughter and the knowledge that marijuana isn’t worth all this fuss. Mama told you what to do about them Devils, Bobby boy. So either hit em with the elements, or lose. Keep in mind that we are entering a great depression, the system is financially stealing from you through inflation while your politicians rape children on private islands to be blackmailed into submitting to evil later down the road, and also keep in mind, nobody cares…
Maybe we really do deserve a plague after all?
I’m not going to be so nice and silent moving forward, so I’ll give you until the end of next session to file the fucking lawsuit, or I’ll get somebody else to do it for me. Get ready, children…this is the kind of ball game I came to play a decade ago, and I’ve gotten good at it, and will accomplish what have been my goals since day 263: Iowa patients first, and federal law protections to ensure all civil rights.
Let us read between the lines and speak truthfully and not tolerate any more people telling us to fuck off. Turn the tables, before the tables get removed.
