Which vote is the really the best vote for the cannabis cause? If you’re a single issue voter (meaning the only thing you care about is using cannabis legally “because it heals people”) then you need to listen up and read this entire article.<\/p>\n

If you’re not a single issue voter don’t go away either. You might want to know about this information anyways because it directly affects the “big picture” (more details on that towards the end of the article).<\/p>\n

So let’s look at the 3 choices (and we’re gonna leave Jill Stein of the Green Party that is running, off this list because her running for office is a complete joke and she’s only doing it to get “street cred” among her party. She’s not even on the ballot in all 50 States)….<\/p>\n

The ones that actually matter are…<\/p>\n

Gary Johnson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donald Trump<\/strong><\/p>\n

…let’s take a look at these 3…<\/p>\n

\"3a10207fe3a14ec23a2b9e925ec59fbc\"

Gary Johnson ( Libertarian Presidential Candidate )<\/p><\/div>\n

Gary Johnson<\/strong><\/h1>\n

– On paper, he’s the most favorable for the legalization of cannabis. And since we all know that Bernie Sanders is out of the race (since he was the king of the hill in the cannabis community for Presidential nominee) it would seem an obvious choice that you should vote for Gary.<\/p>\n

There is just one problem…<\/p>\n

Gary Johnson has zero chance of winning.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…there I said it. A bunch of Gary Johnson supporters are probably now planning a “social media attack move” with some rebuttals. Like “why if everyone would just not feel like they have to vote Trump Or Hillary and just vote Johnson he would win”<\/em> but the reality is people aren’t going to do that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, right now at this moment, we have a 2 party system.<\/strong> This is why Ron Paul ran as Republican (and his son Rand tried to do the same) even though most of his beliefs totally line up with the Libertarians. He ran as a republican because he knows that with the social and political climate that we live in that it’s the only way you can actually get anything done. Right now things are so bad (especially with the injustices towards cannabis) that if you want to make things happen faster than it would take\u00a0\u00a0you to “eliminate the 2 party system” sometimes you have to fib a little and just tell people you’re “a Republican”. It’s totally corrupt And against everything you stand for I know, but cannabis needs to be approved in all 50 states sooner rather than later.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This means that if you want your vote to actually matter then Johnson is not only waste of your vote but an even bigger waste of your time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Read that one again Johnson supporters because I said it. Your candidate isn’t going to win and the reason is not because he’s not a good guy or have good values. It’s because he’s not a good speaker, a good interview and he’s a horrible marketer. He’ll never win.<\/p>\n

He does try though so I’ll give him that.<\/p>\n

Let’s move on to choice #2…<\/p>\n

\"Hillary

Hillary Clinton ( Democratic Presidential Candidate )<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Quite a bit of the cannabis community that was “feeling the Bern” before felt a bit betrayed when Bernie would be preaching his message of the “corrupt people at Wall Street that support Billionaires” (which was probably his most used line during his entire campaign) and then Bernie lost and then turned right around and endorsed the very thing he was speaking against…<\/p>\n

He endorsed Hillary Clinton.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…a woman with a track record of taking money and bowing down to the very same special interest that Bernie said he was against.<\/p>\n

I feel bad for poor little Bernie. He really tried to make a difference and was probably put under a lot of pressure since he was pretending to be a Democrat when he’s actually a Socialist (much like what Ron Paul did but as a Libertarian pretending to be a Republican). He probably had to endorse Hillary for the good of the party even though they completely betrayed him and his supporters by rigging certain parts of the election (the person in charge of the Democratic Party got fired over it do to the wiki leaks emails that were released) because he doesn’t want to be in fear of his life. I’m sure the house that he just paid cash for (this actually happened) doesn’t have good security against the Clinton assassins. (I’m just kidding about the whole assassin thing… just please don’t hurt me Hillary).<\/p>\n

But assuming you can get past all that maybe Hillary is a good choice for Cannabis?<\/p>\n

After all, a lot of your good friends who are Democrat are voting for Hillary and they believe in Cannabis legalization right?<\/p>\n

Wrong.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although the Clinton machine has gone on record saying they are for medicinal cannabis officially here below …<\/p>\n
