Industrial Marijuana Farming Approved In Oakland
Trintech writes "According to MSNBC: 'The city of Oakland, California on Tuesday legalized large-scale marijuana cultivation for medical use and will issue up to four permits for "industrial" cultivation starting next year.
The move by the San Francisco Bay Area city aims to bring medical marijuana cultivation into the open and allow the city to profit by taxing those who grow it.
The resolution passed the city council easily after a nearly four-hour debate that pitted small-scale "garden" growers against advocates of a bigger, industrial system that would become a "Silicon Valley" of pot.' Yes, you read that right. MSNBC just compared computer chip fabrication to pot cultivation."
You know how those wacky developers are with their marijuana!
With all the violence and protests in Oakland, a lot of pot is needed to help everyone just mellow out, man.
Now who's coming to the Phish concert with me?
There's no -1 for "I don't get it."
I once smoked an Intel chip, all it did was make me cry. ;)
No, no, flamethrowers is the Bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms and the Drug Enforcement Agency. The FBI doesn't do the heavy stuff anymore unless its the Hostage Rescue Team. You can't get the napalm smell out of those nice suits.
You fly back to school now, little Starling. Fly, Fly, Fly.
What would Richard Feynman do, if he were here right now? He'd do some math and he'd follow through!

Both industries go through a lot of chips.
I work for the Department of Redundancy Department.
If so i plan on holding a LAN party down wind... make sure you bring nachos!
flamethrowers and pot farms. Boy, the city downwind of that is going to have a nice day.
Where is the mod rating for "scary"? Also,
...a revenue source that has thus been untapped.
Wrong word; prostitution is a revenue source that is untapped (in the U.S.A., except for Nevada).
Marijuana, on the other hand, is a revenue source that hasn't been hit.
I'm just waiting for a press release from Snoop Dogg - btw I did check his twitter account before posting this - nothing ...... yet!!!.
FOR PRESS RELEASE. Oakland, CA - Acclaimed rap star Snoop Dogg, a multi-platinum record seller, has today announced that he is moving to Oakland, California. Snoop would like to tell his fans - "the shizzle is more growing opportunities for my rap in Oaktown. Ain't nothing growin' where I am. You know, I need more green for my raps.". Snoop hopes his fans can support him while he waits for the growing opportunities in Oakland to help him record his next album.
Bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms
If you add prostitution to the mix, that's the best Bureau *ever*!
From, uh...
Where am I, exactly, man?

I have a little routine that I love:
Save all the seeds, then randomly throw them into the air at inappropriate locations (churches, the grounds of government buildings, into people's flower beds, random roadside ditches, etc). The odds of anything growing are tiny, but I make up for it with volume. I'm sure anything that did grow would be garbage, but it makes me smile every time I think of someone finding a plant at the state capitol building.

Because of the children. Won't you think of the children? And the terrorists. And the way black men ply white women with jazz and marijuana then have their dastardly way with them.(And why yes, that is exactly what some clown in the federal government said a few decades ago about pot as a reason it should be made illegal.)
No but they probably have plenty of chips.
I'm waiting for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Blackjack, and Hookers.
No they are still wet. Wet plants don't burn well. That's why you don't see wildfires in southern Louisiana. Usually during busts marijuana plants are up rooted, put in a pile, and use some fire source.
WHOOSH... bubble....

In fact, forget the Bureau!

I think you've smoked that already. I can't wrap my head around that many dimensions.
Think of the poor birds downwind! No tern will be left unstoned.
