Marijuana to be Legalised for ANYONE in California

[Weed Guy]

As the title suggest, Weed will be in the same category as alcohol and tobbaco, and ou wont need to go get a phony doctors not for anxiety. You will be able to buy the weed anywhere anonymously.

"They need 694,354 signatures by September, 5, 2008. I think it's totally do-able. Its been over a decade since Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, was passed with over 5 million votes in favor."

Wish they would do that everywhere!!!!

 

[Weed Guy]

Hopefully other states will follow suit, and may even happen on a federal level.

The highlited portion is a stretch, it will be available where alcohol is already sold and I'm guessing liquor. I don't know how Cali is but where I am we can only buy at a state store and not on Sundays.

we can buy booze anywhere, everyday of the week. not between the hours of 2am and 6am though. they sell it at the gas stations.

This would be totally awesome, im meant to be coming over to America this August (califonia mainly) and might just put it off till next year lol.

 

[tyeee]

I totally support this, i honestly think it's bullshit they way the classify bud, like we are some kind of tweakers, it's an herb, the government just needs to get the fuck over themselves, if i lose my med card, i'll pay tax to continue to smoke my herb....hopefully more states will adapt to this....and it's about fucking time....

 

[exmortis]

yes, more states or federal law adapting to this, would of course be great.

Good job finding the info.

 

[shamegame]

That would be nice. Where do I sign ?- it may fail due to the stipulation of no taxers being payed.

It will be taxed though "Marijuana will be taxed through a system of stamps and licenses--a $5 stamp will be required for the sale of an eighth ounce of marijuana and a $50 annual license will be required for the growth of one marijuana plant"

Californian government will make a shitload of cash....$50 per plant.

 

[exmortis]

yea that's a buckload....

 

[Njsurf14]

Its probly going to happen in california than in Vermont, than washington, and everywhere else where medical mara is legalised... I'd give it acouple more years intil all the states are legalised

Not so in California! NO such thing as a state store, and depending on your city, SURE, buy it on a Sunday. Yay California!

Oh yeah, forgot about that bit. It's been too long since I was even up during those hours...

i couldn't remember if it was 5am or 6. i guessed. i don't really drink. maybe a few beers during fall harvest but that's about it. i have but a bottle of wine in the house.

 

[Seamaiden]

I've got more than that, but also miss Dave's home brew. Now see? That's something that we're allowed to do legally, and just pay for the kit. We could grow our own hops, barley, do the malting, etc., and I don't think we'd pay a tax on it unless we tried to sell it. Either way, even if the wording isn't exactly what I'd like to see, it's better than nothing. Dan Lungren is gonna hear from me AGAIN.

 

[Weed Guy]

Does anyone know what age you will have to be? 16, 18 or 21? How old is it for MM?

 

[exmortis]

I would defo say 18 to 21, more so along the lines of 21 I would guess.

Yes, the final P.O.S. will have the stamp, but it's this that I am talking about:

Amends constitution to legalize marijuana and hemp within California and to provide for broad individual constitutional rights, including rights to food, shelter, medical care, and to be free from “unreasonable” taxation. Allows marijuana to be sold in any store that sells alcohol. Establishes local boards with expansive powers, including powers to regulate and tax marijuana. Requires marijuana tax revenues support specified programs. Exempts marijuana sales profits from income tax. Forbids most testing for marijuana used outside the workplace. Prohibits most marijuana, alcohol, and tobacco advertisements. Immunizes marijuana growers and sellers from liability. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Potential savings of up to several tens of millions of dollars annually to state and local governments, which would no longer incur the costs of incarcerating and supervising certain marijuana offenders. Potential costs of up to the tens of millions of dollars to state and local governments to fund the one-time start-up costs of the local boards. A potentially significant increase in state and local spending on substance abuse treatment services that could possibly be partially or fully offset by revenues from this measure. Potential increased revenues in the tens of millions to low hundreds of millions of dollars annually from marijuana stamps and licenses to support specified programs and the local boards. Unknown but potentially significant increase in state and local revenues from collection of sales and use taxes on the sale of Marijuana. Unknown but potentially significant decrease in state and local revenues from taxes on tobacco and alcohol due to a prohibition of advertising for these goods that would likely result in a decline in sales.

That is the part that may kill this thing.
