Urgent : The City is starting the process to close our Cannabis Dispensaries

URGENT: If you live in the Los Angeles, CA area, your attention and activism are needed.

LOS ANGELES TO BEGIN MEDICAL MARIJUANA BAN

PROCESS TOMORROW
 Moving with uncustomary speed, and skirting propriety in their haste, the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office will address The Safety Committee in closed session tomorrow, January 13, 2012, to recommend a total ban on Medical Cannabis Facilities.  If the Safety Committee chooses to do so, they may vote for a ban, and send the motion to the City Council for approval. 
 If the City Council acts with the same alacrity the Safety Committee does, all medical cannabis collectives in the City of Los Angeles could be ordered to close within a month.
 The Security Committee has chosen to schedule the meeting to discuss all this at 8:45 A.M. tomorrow, and relevant documents were posted on-line today, giving the public no time to weigh- in on this issue.
 During the recent holiday, in a campaign spearheaded by Americans for Safe Access, medical cannabis patients sent over 16,000 emails to Los Angeles City Council Members, asking them to reject a ban and instead enact reasonable regulations.
The Greater Los Angeles Collective Alliance (GLACA) has collected over a thousand letters from patients and their caregivers, asking the authors of the two motions to ban to withdraw their motions and enact sensible regulations instead. GLACA will present these letters to the Los Angeles City Council tomorrow during the council meeting.
“The City Attorney is moving with such haste that he cannot have possibly considered some very viable alternatives. As a result, the health and safety of the sick and dying in Los Angeles may be at risk, and that is unacceptable to us.  We will be at the Security Committee Meeting tomorrow with our lawyers, in the hopes we can persuade the Safety Committee to delay a vote until this matter is fully briefed,” remarked Yami Bolanos, President and Founder of GLACA.
What:      Public Safety Committee Meeting to Discuss Medical Cannabis Ban
When:     Friday, January 13, 2012
Time:       8:45 AM
Location:  Los AngelesCity Hall
                 200 South Spring Street
                 Los Angeles, Ca 90012
                 Room 1010

The Machines are winning- VIP Records Closes it’s Doors

Posted on by

How sad is this!!!!!! ..Worldfamous VIP Records has been a LANDMARK on the West Coast forever.  I am sure everyone remembers the image of a young Snoop Dogg posted atop the record store  in the “What’s My Name” video.

Kevin Anderson Sr. has had to endure some lean times since 2003 while trying to hold the shop together. He states that now he and his son “can barely pay rent or the utilities”.  This seems impossible but like so many record chains (Virgin, Tower) in LA.  People just don’t care about buying CD’s and Records like that from record shops.  People just want to Download from the comfort of home. Amoeba is the antithesis to this but the majority of shops are closing quickly.

 Itunes and music downloading is convenient but we never stop to think about the small mom and pop record shops we grew up with closing down or going bankrupt.  You know that going into Big Ben’s in LA off La Brea or sitting in VIP Records listening to the latest Con Funk Shun or Eric B and Rakim album was quite different than running to Target to listen to music at one of those little kiosks..

This was more than just a place to buy music and posters,  this was a place which housed the studio from whence Snoop and Warren G first created demos. Sir Jinx had a studio in this building.  The West Coast Gangsta Rap Foundation has bricks with VIP stamps on them.  Technology has given way to so much.  Read more about the demise of a part of history at LA WEEKLY. 

NORML’S Marijuana year in Review…

#1 NORML Sues to Halt Government’s Prosecution of Medical Cannabis Providers
In October, the United States Deputy Attorney General, along with the four US Attorneys from California, announced their intentions to escalate federal efforts targeting the state’s medical cannabis dispensaries and providers. In response, members of the NORML Legal Committee filed suit in November against the federal government arguing that its actions were in violation of the Ninth, Tenth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the US Constitution. Plaintiffs further argued, using the theory of judicial estoppel, that the Justice Department had previously affirmed in federal court that it would no longer use federal resources to prosecute cannabis patients or providers who are compliant with state law. NORML’s lawsuit remains pending.

#2 Members of Congress Introduce First Bill Since 1937 to Legalize Cannabis 
House lawmakers introduced legislation in Congress in June to end the federal criminalization of the personal use of marijuana. The bipartisan measure – HR 2306, the ‘Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011′ – prohibits the federal government from prosecuting adults who use or possess cannabis by removing the plant and its primary psychoactive constituent, THC, from the five schedules of the United States Controlled Substances Act of 1970. The bill awaits Congressional action.

#3 Gallup: Majority of Americans Support Legalizing Cannabis
A record 50 percent of Americans now believe that marijuana ought to be legalized for adult use, according to a nationwide Gallup poll of 1,005 adults published in October. The 2011 survey results mark the first time ever that Gallup has reported that more Americans support legalizing cannabis (50 percent) than oppose it (46 percent).

#4 Over One Million Americans Now Use Cannabis Legally Under State Law
Between one million to one-and-a-half million US citizens are legally authorized by the laws of their state to use marijuana, according to data compiled in May by NORML from state medical marijuana registries and patient estimates. Read the full story here.

See me wit a rag it’s only to wipe the fingerprints..

New video from The Tabernacle MCZ feat. West Coast Classic Aceyalone..

West West…….

These are our brothers here at Bamboobanga420..

Tabernacle MCZ consist of Panama Redd(Deacon Dwindle Duckets)  and Born Allah aka The Apostle, Sweet Daddy Grace . These men of the mic have come to resurrect the vintage bboy and abolish the new school of bullshit to hell LOL..

 

Come join the bredren in freeing your souls from that old rap and bullshit.. Check out the album B-BOY PROPHECIES: THE BOOK OF HIMOTHY on Itunes .

This is a classic with production by Lord Jamar, Sha-Fiq of Sa-Ra Creative Partners, and guest appearances by Aceyalone, Medusa, Big Arch and K.I.T.S.. to name a few..  If you fuck with LA Underground.. This is what you need ..

This is sho nuff a classic.. so download that shit.. and save yourself from the pit of eternal wackness.. .. AMEN and pass the blunt to my nigga on the left..lol

The church of Hip Hop and Financial Prosperity, internalizes this, and proclaims that if in the beginning was the word, that the word had to be uttered by a M.C. That the Supreme Being is the ultimate master of ceremony. They also teach that God gave his only begotten son “The B-Boy”. Who performed the miracles that is known today as the four elements of Hip Hop; Graffiti, Break Dancing, DJ’ing, and MC’ing.

These Prophets and Messengers of Hip Hop feel that they have been brought forth to reveal to the world that the B-Boy has been crucified by poor talented rappers, who have long lost the true meaning of the art form.  Plus the music industry, who is responsible for diminishing the standards of the music for profit.

Expect a full interview with these cats shortly.. SUPPORT INDIE HIP HOP.. seriously..
