TL;DR - She don't care, weed is legal and she's not going anywhere.

This has turned into a fight over home rule- Chaffetz steeped in it

As it is so far all you can do is consume in your home and grow up to 6 plants, 12 if 2 or more people live in the household. That about where it stops though, we don't really know if they will eventually go for legal dispensary's, or just keep us locked up in our home. IMHO they would be crazy not to, I live nearby DC, and all that tax revenue coming in from the surrounding states, Jesus It would force the surrounding states to consider legalization or medicinal at the very least, or miss out on a huge part of the cake.

It would be cool if we could get a referendum on the ballot in MD in time for the next election....hell, it's the second-most liberal Dem state in the Union, only Massachusetts is lefter.

Of course, it is also a big-time nanny state, so that doesn't help any......
