TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY AUTHORITIES PREP WEED CRACKDOWN PUSH BACK WITH FEDS & MISSOURI LAW ENFORCEMENT AGAINST MAYOR QUINTON LUCAS MARIJUANA PARDON PLAN!!!



Fun fact that hasn't been unnoticed by the growing subculture of Kansas City stoners . . .

FOR A WHOLE MONTH THIS YEAR IT'LL BE 4/20!!!

Accordingly, Kansas City is in the midst of a weed renaissance that has been sanctioned by voters and elected officials.

Just a quick bit of background:

In 2018, Missouri voted to legalize medical marijuana and there's now a growing effort to not only sanction recreational weed but also expunge penalties for recent weed busts.

The Jackson County Prosecutor says she won't be working to enforce most minor marijuana infractions.

And, as TKC REPORTED FIRST . . . Mayor Quinton Lucas is now touting KCMO marijuana pardon.

Here's his public social media post on the topic that reached more people than most local news reports:



"As I previewed in my State of the City Address last week, I just launched my Mayoral Municipal Marijuana Pardon Initiative. Any Kansas Citian with a non-violent municipal marijuana conviction is eligible to apply at kcmo.gov/MayoralPardon.

"I see this as us giving folks a second chance, and us making sure that folks aren’t sustaining harm long-term for something society has largely now said is acceptable. We’ll continue our work to remove barriers and help give those in our community better opportunities to succeed."

However, physics roughly informs us that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Accordingly . . .

KANSAS CITY STONERS SUSPECT THEY'RE BEING TARGETED FOR AN EPIC UPCOMING MARIJUANA ENFORCEMENT SWEEP!!!

This isn't exactly top secret stuff given that the local weed subculture is pretty good noticing increased police surveillance. Also, whilst stoners are paranoid they're not always stupid . . . Or constantly snarky Like TKC -- Our reply to this tidbit was OF COURSE agreement that refraining from weed smoking is always a good idea along with confirmation that the earth is flat, birds aren't real and bat soup is a cure-all.

Moreover and more seriously . . .

The KCPD Top Cop is on record for his opposition against marijuana clemency and the path toward legalization. KCPD Chief Smith has linked the weed trade with local violence and has vowed to keep enforcing laws prohibiting illicit use and distribution of cannabis.

And so Kansas City stands at a weed crossroads.

Law enforcement can stand down and seem powerless in the face of changing laws. That would suit many activists but this is an election year after all.



And so we share just a bit of free health advice . . .

KANSAS CITY STONERS SHOULD REMEMBER THAT POLICE, FEDS AND STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT AREN'T ON BOARD WITH WEED PARDON AND PUSH BACK CRACKDOWN IS COMING!!!

Hopefully, what we'll see and what we also expect is a strongly worded letter challenging Mayor Lucas and this controversial policy move but there's no denying that fear of a KCMO weed sweep is spreading.

At the very least, it's not so controversial to remind our blog community that smoking weed remains a risky practice with minimal payoff as the sordid politics of power moves continue to arise in 2020.

  1. Marijuana busts are a waste of time. Bernie will remove cannabis from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. End of story. Why ruin people's lives?

    ^^At this point, that's an asinine argument.

    Marijuana was made illegal so federal authorities, & local exploiters of labor, could have a tool to threaten Latino's; just like they use immigration "laws", now.

    Fundamental question: Is this a "free" country, or not.

    It's not free, just because you say it's free, it's free if the people can live without fear of the government, & their official & unofficial goons.

    This "crackdown" would actually be a crackdown on freedom, for no damn reason.

  3. Well..., if morons like George Bush, Dick Cheney and John Bolton were high on the Bubonic Chronic, or Reefer McIntyre instead of dreaming up ways to convince the hearts and minds of Stone Age, dumb-ass, 3rd world aboriginals that they needed to buy Chevy Pick Ups and listen to pop radio then we would be about 15 trillion dollars better off.

    In fact, if the entire crew on the stage tonight for the Democrat Primary Debate were as stoned as pre-rehab Robert Downey and didn't sound like pre-cancer Morton Downey, they might actually have a chance of getting elected.

    I stay off of the Pineapple Express, it makes Johnny a dull boy, but, for some, it is a welcome antidote to the reality that is a life of desperation.

    It can't be any worse than Whiskey.

  8. 11:38 The very definition of dull, is repetition in lieu of creativity.

  9. The die has been cast, it's going to be legalized in the whole country. This is just the parties with a vested interest in keeping it illegal reenacting Custer's last stand.

  10. Chuck-that's really rich coming from you. "The very definition of dull, is repetition in lieu of creativity." You regurgitate the same, asinine tropes ad infinitum, ad litem. "America wants you dead white boy," "de facto Obama brownshirts", "deep state" "flipper-baby" etc. It just is what it is indeed. Fucking tool.

  11. The real issue is making weed legal or not isn't going to change a whole lot of things. You still can't smoke it all day while at work and you can't drive while high on your own supply. You're still subject to being busted for DUI and making weed legal will raise the number of inhabited drivers on the roads. Take a piss test at work and fail you're probably gonna be fired. I have said for years make it legal but so many appear to think by doing so it can now be partyville all the time. Partyville it won't be. Illegal drinking spirits will get you jail time and illegally grown non taxed weed will get you in jail as well.

    So do we take the tax equation out of the picture? Some seem to think so but they more than likely are those who want to eliminate all taxes but bitch when there are no freebies to hand out. Liquor taxes are good and a part of keeping some control on the issue and not getting bottles of stuff at the liquor store that puts you in a coma if you sip 2 oz of it. The same will have to be done with weed.

    I think weed should be legal but only sold from controlled growing environments by licensed growers where the plants are not covered with chemicals or laced with other chemicals to give a more powerful high to people. The plants are then graded and sold much like tobacco is or was.

    The world has enough Zombies walking around in it and we need to be careful that making something legal does not simply increase the number of walking high all the time. I honestly think it can be regulated and controlled where all will benefit from it. But I don't think the price will be cheaper and in fact think the costs will go up and the flow of illegal weed will increase and that increase will be controlled by the criminal based elements.

    Should you be allowed to grow your own? I guess so, you can do some minor home brewing in most areas but many and oh yes I know a few who do grow their own but admit the quality of it isn't the best.

    Making it legal isn't an easy issue to deal with in the end and it isn't going to be for the good of all. People can't control their sugar intake now and along with bad eating habits makes people overweight. Now add the stoned, high sugar intake and bad eating habits people to the mix and our percentage of obese people will skyrocket.

    Making weed legal will just be another legal introduction to society that will do more damage than good in the end. Who ever thought something like a cell phone would divide people, and make them so dependent on such a device? Make weed legal and it will more than likely have that same effect.

    So can weed be made legal and today's society be responsible enough to use it correctly?

    I don't give a shit if they smoke it or shove it up their ass. The problem is that real stoners cause problems like in LA, and everyone else is forced to deal with their useless shit. They contribute nothing, yet they demand social services for which non-stoners have to pay. This thing will turn out to be another nail in this country's leftist coffin, and a massive shit-storm for everyone but the potheads. Mayor selfie needs to work on infrastructure to make this shitty more livable, instead of worrying about these non-productive pricks. There is a huge amount of money up for grabs here, so I don't expect anything other than even more corruption from this democrapic run city, as usual. Whatta you think weird chimpy? Let us know from your basement headquarters.

  13. "America wants you dead white boy," "de facto Obama brownshirts", "deep state" "flipper-baby".

    The new America does want white people dead and those anti-fa pukes in the street, are, in fact, de-facto brown shirt violent Fascist scum.

    Here pajama boy - something new for you to get triggered about.

    All of your heroes on the stage tonight, but, only two really count.

  22. Only Tony, and Blogger/Google can see the IP addresses in here. 1:59 is full of crap people and is a troll so ignore them To bad Blogger won't allow us to block certain people on here like so many other discussion and social media sites do so we could eliminate this troll.

  23. When the dipshits about argue for pot. Not realizing the majority of murders and violent crime are (drum roll) pot related. Only because they have spent more of their lives blabbing than learning. Legalization will not save society from crime. Look up alcohol for reference #1.

  25. Opening up marijuana use poses a free will problem. Yes, people should be free to fuck themselves up as much as they want and enjoy the high, but with an ever increasing nanny state, they will end up billing the public treasury for their profligacy.

    People don't have to internalize the cost of their decisions when other people subsidize their irresponsibility.

  26. Yea @2:29, I agree! I wish we could black chuck and stupid dave so we wouldn't be subjected to their racist stupidity. Can you see what we can do about that? Those are two trolls who need to go!

  28. I agree, we should look into blocking stupor dave and chuck.

  29. If people want to be potheads, that's their choice. But we should not legalize it until someone develops a reliable way to test for driving while MJ impaired.

  31. Pardons for weeds? Shameful.

    If those pardons were issued for white collar crimes that involved millions of dollars to unrepentant swamp cronies that made big political donations, it would A-OK!

  32. 1:00, 1:47, 1:59 3:13, and 3:51 is same tired troll we all dislike. Claiming to be offended is a great way to elevate yourself at the expense of others: “Look at me! I'm a much better person than you! And I judge you! I condemn you! Shame! Shame! SHAME! I shame you for being a bad person. That means I'm a good person! Look at how really really offended I am! That means I'm a really really good person!

    According to the bible, Jesus said "let he who is without sin throw the first rock." But a lot of people seem to think he said: "If you throw rocks at someone else, it proves that you're without sin.”
