Would you join NORML if it meant a discount on meds?

Well would you?

I've been toying around with this idea all day and would appreciate some feedback.
If a person and/or dispensary who normally sells you meds at $35 an 1/8 suddenly raised the price to $40 and offered it to you back at $35 if you join NORML, would you? This is just hypothetical, I know most of us grow our own but if you were in that position, would you feel that the discounts would be a good enough incentive?

I've been trying to find better ways to bring more people to help the cause, besides asking them to join. Many of us are for joining, but we just never get around to it.

Who's willing to donate a dollar of every med sale to NORML PAC?

So what do you guys/girls think? Do you like it, hate it? Tell me why either way.

Thanks

I'd tell that dispensary to shove those five dollars up their fucking asses. Yes, that's why I grow. Joining should be a choice, and that's manipulation.

However, I do support the work NORML does. Just feel it shouldn't be forced on people.

So you wouldn't support discounts for card carrying NORML members?

I would not just for the fact the sellers went bitch on me and could still sell it at 35 but won't cause they don't wanna unless you are in their group.

I would not join, if anything it would piss me off for what them babies are trying to pull on me. Bow Down? nope

That's like me telling my wife I will do the dishes if she will suck my dick. What assholes! cut em off of your companionship as punishment.lol

Maybe the whole raising the price to give a discount scenario was a bad example.

What if the price doesn't raise and they offer discounts?

What would it cost me to join norml? Why would I want to join? What do they do? Who is their leader? That is what I would want to know the price of the meds then and would be a totally nother topic.

I would not be happy to be sold on norml. I would like norml to be sold on me.

Basic membership is $25. To support the reform of marijuana laws. They lobby the government to support marijuana friendly legislation and work to put initiatives on the ballot. Not quite sure

It isn't a discount if you jack up the price, then offer to sell it back for the normal price for joining, so no.

So glad I grow my own fucking pot.

So they get like $25 dollars a month or a year?

i joined NORML the first year and got a cool tshirt and an annoying letter in the mail every month and the constant solicitation for more money and for my time as a volunteer. I send them a letter asking when they were going to be in this next of the woods and they came back and said it was too far to go, fuck them.
grow your own and dont worry about going to an illegal* dispensary.



* illegal because the AG says they are.

Yes sir. The dispensaries are rip-offs anyway. If I didn't grow, I could still pay less on the streets for same quality shit as they offer in the dispensaries around here.

It really depends on which dispensary you go to, and they're not all rip offs. I grow my own too, but sometimes it's nice to have a wide selection and a wide variety, as opposed to the few different strains I grow at I time.

And I would much rather spend my money at a dispensary which goes back to the state of Michigan than buy from some low life on the street.. this state is in fucking crisis and dispensaries are helping out immensely.

Im already a 'Citizen advocate', but yeah a discount would be nice

I would rather a good man sell the product then a low life dispensary owner. The state does not yet deserve any money. If they wanted money they could build wind turbines all along lake michigan but are yet to dumb for yet such a simple task and would rather take handouts from the people just as always.

Why give the state the money? We bitch about people on welfare for too long of time but our state is the biggest moocher of em all. What has the satae done for me beside try to rule my life? Not a fucking thing.

Most of those people are on welfare because the state has made the rules of life. It is not because they wanna be on welfare. Yet the state is the complete opposite it wants all the free shit it can have forever.

I would rather buy my pot from a father of 2, then any of them.

So I take it you don't ever drive on those state built roads, since the states never done anything for you. And you surely don't benefit from the absence of mob rule that would exist without the police. And of course you built your house out of fire proof space age material, so you will never have a need for a fire department. The rest of us aren't as awesome as you, so we use our civic services, that's why we pay taxes.

The US has the 2nd lowest Corporate tax rate in the developed world, along with one of the lowest personal tax rates. If you don't like paying taxes, give up the amenities of civilized culture and move to some third world hell hole. You won't have 911 when armed militants run up in your house to rob and kill you, but hey at least no taxes! Liberty or death right?

NORML needs to just get more funding to promote the positive things going on in the MMJ community, if NORML had their own magazine like "HIGHTIMES" I would be much more curious to find out what's going on state by state that is involved with NORML. If a dispensary told me they were altering prices to help support NORML I would tell them what ricky, julian, or bubbles would tell them..."that's f*#kd"

That's called taking the piss. If it were $35 and they dropped it to $25 for membership, maybe, but they've done nothing but raise the price and pretend that you're saving money by joining when in fact it's a load of bollocks.

Oh, and i thought you had guns to defend yourself and yoru home, so why do you need the police all of a sudden? Our lives have been custom crafted to make us think there is no other option than state intervention. I Know plenty of areas that have their own private volunteer fire departments that are nothing to do with government, i know plenty of areas that police their own streets on a volunteer basis, you know what, they get along just perfectly Not sure why we're discussing this though Essentially though, if he is so great that he doesn't need these civic services then why should he pay for them, don't blame him for other peoples inability to stay alive and functional without a requirement of government.

You can't be serious... You have to be trolling me. You can't honestly believe a civilized nation can survive without police, regardless of how you feel toward them they're a necessary evil. Let's leave the wild west in the movies where it belongs. Sure people have guns, and sure they can defend their own, and without police they would have to on a regular basis. I hope you got some big guns when Folk Nation, Latin Kings, Aryan Nation, etc etc etc shows up with the AKs demanding your stuff.

Oh, and where do you think those volunteer fireman get their money for their equipment? You don't think they get state money?

Look though, this is the land of the free. So as I said before if you don't want the amenities of a civilized culture, a proper primary education system, universities, police, fire dept, hospitals, paved roads, no hoards of homeless, etc, you are more than free to leave. There are 3rd world countries where you won't have those services so you won't have to pay for them. To quote something I was told a few years back, "Love it or leave it." Taxes are a requirement for the services that the majority of the American people want and use. That's how a democracy is suppose to work, the majority rule not a loud minority rule.

To answer the op, so not to totally derail, yes I would if I wasn't already a member. Really though they should lower the price for NORML members, instead of raising it for everyone else. And really really, everyone should already be a member of NORML without a carrot being waved in front of your nose. They are the biggest group with the most influence trying to push sensible legislation.
