Identity - Noboa

http://www.dellwyn.com/thoughts/identity...

Let them be as flowers,
always watered, fed, guarded, admired,
but harnessed to a pot of dirt.
I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed,
clinging on cliffs, like an eagle
wind-wavering above high, jagged rocks.
To have broken through the surface of stone,
to live, to feel exposed to the madness
of the vast, eternal sky.
To be swayed by the breezes of an ancient sea,
carrying my soul, my seed, beyond the mountains of time
or into the abyss of the bizarre
I'd rather be unseen, and if
then shunned by everyone,
than to be a pleasant-smelling flower,
growing in clusters in the fertile valleys,
where they're praised, handled, and plucked
by greedy, human hands.
I'd rather smell of musty, green stench
than of sweet, fragrant lilac.
If I could stand alone, strong and free,
I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed

The extended metaphor is really compelling, I think. I think it's about preferring to overcome a lot and thus being able to be independently rather than to be safe and locked up.

Medical Marijuana MLM just launched, Interview with "King of Pot" Inside

Medical marijuana is about to hit the big time and one thing is for certain: if meth-heads can master rocket science, then potheads can master social science.

It was only a matter of time before someone would find a way to harness two exploding industries: medical marijuana and network marketing.  That time has arrived.

Banking on the explosive growth potential and legitimacy of the network marketing distribution model, Mary Jane now has her very own Multi-Level Marketing company: MJNA.

MJNA, doing business as The Hemp Network (not to be confused with the Trump Network) is a division of  Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA)

MMI, an Oregon Corporation, was originally founded in March 2009 for the purpose of providing advanced business solutions to the rapidly expanding Medical Marijuana industry.

The Hemp Network "soft launched" on 4/20/2010 and is currently in pre-launch until June 1, 2010.  For a $100 enrollment fee, new distributors will receive $100 worth of hemp products.  

For an Inside The Hemp Network conversation with CEO Bruce Perlowin, visit  http://rodalbers.com/inside-the-hemp-network.

Whether this news leaves you red hot with outrage, or fist-pumping and 'high'-fiving, set your emotions aside for a moment and consider the mechanics of this decision.  It is sure to spark a blaze that will leave both industries abuzz.   

The network marketing industry clearly doesn't need another start-up company to legitimize the industry, even though that is happening on a seemingly daily basis.  

While the traditional "corporate America" is failing people at an alarming rate, network marketing is exploding.  

Network marketing is simply the most viable vehicle to realize the "American Dream", which most think is dead, but in reality has just been misplaced for many by the chatter of those who proclaim, "That's just the way it has always been."  

That's NOT the way it is today, and Medical Marijuana knows it.  

The Medical Marijuana industry needs validation.  They understand, as do many other companies in many other industries, the network marketing model to be the most effective and efficient business model to bring products and services to market.

The Hemp Network is poised to create a "pipeline" wave that will surely take the network marketing industry by storm.  The medical marijuana industry is booming.  Network marketing is booming.

The marriage between the two could be a most magical recipe.

Facts:
- baby boomers have set every buying trend for the last 50 years.  

- baby boomers grew up in the 60's and 70's, where marijuana use was at it's height in the United States.

- doctor's are recommending it (and prescribing its pill form, Marinol) every day.

Many boomers recognize marijuana as the natural, non-pharmaceutical solution for pain relief and stress.  

The boomer voting block speaks loudly: 14 states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana: Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington and as of January 18, New Jersey.  Illinois and New York are reportedly close.

There has also been a radical shift toward decriminalization of marijuana in recent years.  Barack Obama even supports decriminalization of marijuana.  "I inhaled.  Frequently.  That was the point." - Barack Obama

Medical Marijuana Inc. gets it.  In fact, here's how much they get it: The Hemp Network's compensation plan is based off of the most powerful compensation methodology in the network marketing industry today - the binary.

More people make more money more quickly in the binary compensation model than any other - uni-level and matrix comp plans get smoked by binaries (no pun intended.)  

With The Hemp Network, you will be able to build your tree and smoke it at the same time.

All kidding aside, if you are involved in a company that does not utilize a binary compensation plan, chances are that you are getting smoked, too.  

Momentum, the the most critical aspect of a network marketing compensation plan, sets a binary plan far ahead of the pack.  

The momentum in a binary, especially for a company during its pre-launch and launch phases, is unmatched in the industry and it's not even close.  After all, this is 2010, not 1910.  Not 1958.  Not 1998.

If someone is trying to convince you differently, kindly ask them to roll up a little of what they're smoking and pass it over.  

The optimal time to get involved in any network marketing company is during the pre-launch/launch phases.  You want to be in front of the wave, not behind it.  If someone mentions "ground floor opportunity" to you, make sure you can see the wave is still to come and not already gone.

The Hemp Network is a legitimate way to potentially create an extra income stream, which may one day become very lucrative.

I don't know anyone who couldn't use an extra income stream.  The U.S. government certainly does, and once they figure out how to make the marijuana industry a primary income stream, The Hemp Network could be the largest millionaire factory the world has ever seen.
