Vineland Today

[Robin Landseadel]

Altered State: California's Pot Economy
Sasha Abramsky, from "The Nation"

	. . . some of the most vocal opponents of Prop 19 weren't
	politicians opposed to marijuana use but small growers and
	medical marijuana advocates, many of them elderly, who felt
	that the initiative was intended to corporatize marijuana, a
	Trojan horse that would pave the way for a market takeover by
	the "Oakland oligarchs." Windows to their Linux, Budweiser to
	their microbrews. Richard Lee is as loathed by many growers
	today as were the Campaign Against Marijuana Planting (
	CAMP) enforcers of the Reagan era, so brilliantly portrayed by
	Thomas Pynchon in his book Vineland.
