Here's who to primarily blame for blocking Prop 205.
Please boycott these business and individuals . . .
Prop 205 was an initiative to legalize marijuana in Arizona in 2016.
While most people think Prop 205 would have legalized marijuana, the basic goal of Prop 205 was to give the existing medical marijuana dispensaries a monopoly on selling recreational marijuana in Arizona.
A large percent of the marijuana community was against this phoney baloney initiative to legalize marijuana in Arizona, because it didn't really legalize marijuana.
Prop 205 let almost all of the laws making marijuana a felony on the Arizona law books.
Prop 205 was written by MPP or the Marijuana Policy Project, which is a phoney baloney group that claims to want to legalize marijuana, but whose main goal is to make the businessmen behind it millionaires by giving them a monopoly on recreational marijuana sales.
