  • Testimony of Chris Wright, Grassroots Party, Submitted to the Committee on Commerce, Finance and Policy Minnesota House of Representatives February 17, 2021
    Testimony of Chris Wright, Grassroots Party, Submitted to the Committee on Commerce, Finance and Policy Minnesota House of Representatives February 17, 2021 Chairman Stephenson, members of the Commerce, Finance and Policy Committee, thank you for considering my testimony on HF600. When it comes to defending our fragile democracy, restoring citizen control of government and reigning in corporate power we are in the fight of our lives. I want to thank House Majority Leader, Ryan Winkler, for his extensive work on this bill. The town hall forums Rep. Winkler named “Be heard on Cannabis,” were well attended. I attended all but one. Throughout the state, when called upon, I turned and asked locals, ”All in favor of growing as much cannabis as you want in your backyard garden without a license as guaranteed in the Minnesota Constitution? raise your hand,” virtually all hands were raised in favor. When asked, “Those opposed, raise your hand,” perhaps a few hands were raised in opposition. Will you ask your constituents the same question? Will they be “Heard on Cannabis?” I fundamentally disagree with Representative Winkler’s denial of our Constitutional rights in this bill, however, I agree with the vast majority of what is contained in it. Up to now, there have been futile efforts to craft a bill to legalize adult-use cannabis. Unfortunately, little time and legislative labor has been used in a detailed examination of the historic “criminalization by fraud” of cannabis. It says in Article 13, Section 7 [A13,S7], of the Minnesota Constitution, “No license required to peddle. Any person may sell or peddle the products of the farm or garden occupied and cultivated by him without obtaining a license therefor.” In 1935, the same year Minnesota legalized liquor, Governor Floyd Olson and the legislature criminalized cannabis by requiring a pharmacy license.

    NITE LIGHT Natural Health Quarterly Herbs Etc NITE NCC Spring 2019 Wayne Weiseman Courses in Permaculture CBD vs. Marijuana Spring Cleanses Healthy Eating Classes Sweat Lodge Saturday Seminars Neuropathy As 2019 is underway, we have either resolved our resolutions into habit, or we have abandoned them for the familiar. Keep your momentum. Beginnings compel us to look forward, move forward, and give shape and life to this year and the possibilities it opens. Remember, if you want things in your life to change, then you have to make changes in your life. What is your vision for health in 2019? Physically, on what are your eyes focused? Computer screens, phone screens, TV screens? This does not support health for a multitude of reasons (read Exposing the Dangers of Blue Light in this edition for the multitude). Take a moment to really evaluate how much screen time you are getting every day. Your eyes take in light, convert the light into electrical signals, and the brain processes this information for you to “see.” What are you seeing? What kind of light, information, and images are your eyes and brain processing? As you move toward your personal vision of health in 2019, perhaps it is time to revise what you are looking at and see things that are more supportive of your health. The quality of light in what we see also affects how we feel and how we perceive things from a greater understanding. If your eyes spend most of their time focused on man-made, artificial light that conveys negative information, then guess how you are going to feel.

  • Testimony of Chris Wright, Grassroots Party, Submitted to the Judiciary, Finance & Civil Law Minnesota House of Representatives Wednesday, April 14, 2021
    Testimony of Chris Wright, Grassroots Party, Submitted to the Judiciary, Finance & Civil Law Minnesota House of Representatives Wednesday, April 14, 2021 Madam Chair and Committee Members, the only reason why I urge you to support HF600 is because we get more justice from the Legalization by Fraud than Criminalization by Fraud, but fraud is fraud. Article 13, Section 7, of the Minnesota Constitution, says, “Any person may sell or peddle the products of the farm or garden occupied and cultivated by him without obtaining a license therefore.” Indeed, Section 8, of this bill is illegal and unconstitutional. While artificial entities may be licensed, natural persons cannot. To jail farmers, Governor Floyd Olson, and the Legislature of 1935, defrauded Minnesotans of this right by requiring an illegal pharmacy license. This historic injustice usurped and defrauded us of our freedom to cultivate without a license. They destroyed public safety; solicited & monetized crime; caused murder, false imprisonment, systemic racism, trigger-happy police and then they had the nerve to call us ‘criminals?’ And now you want us to reward this criminal act by giving you police power to defraud us again? And we’re just supposed to let you get away with it? Cannabis makes you cough, but politics makes you gag! Please, those with integrity, restore our rights, reform our laws and, with any luck, reveal to a doubting world what Minnesota still can be? Thank you Please consider these extended remarks: Article 1, Section 2, Cannabis Management Board? Why are we duplicating effort when we could save the taxpayers more money if it were placed this inside the Department of Public Safety’s – Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division? Section 2, 7d, opens the revolving door by allowing members of the Cannabis Advisory Board to take lobbying jobs after only two years.
