Legal but not to grow

[Antitheist]

My home state of Illinois voted to end cannabis prohibition January 1st. The original bill would have allowed us 5 plants per household. The bill that passed allows us 0 unless a medical patient. I was so happy yesterday I didn't think too much about it. This morning my cheerios seem extra soggy.

So close yet so far away.

Still though how much effort are the law men going to put into screwing a guy over for growing a plant that is now legal?
Better than nothing. Hopefully they will amend the laws further in time.

I assume you can just become a medical patient , everyone's got a bad back !

Not everybody can have a medical card and still keep their job. That's why the black market will never die.

How much prison time for growing a few plants? I assume Illinois jails are as full as other jails, no room for herb growers any more.

Finding a doctor here that will set you up can be kinda difficult. I know 2 guys that have one. One got hit by a train and the other has a huge list of medical problems glaucoma being one.

$40,000 a year for a Craft cultivation license. Total bunk.

A lot of the bill didn't go they way I thought it should. Personally I would have liked to have seen all the state's growers/ distributors be nonprofit/ co-op. I would have liked to have kept big money out of it. Without big money and Madigan we never would have got here though.

I guess you can't win them all.

Though the state is broke and needs additional revenue. I agree the cost is ridiculous. That price is gonna put it out of reach for many "craft" growers.

The problem is, you're right. They won't go hard after MOST people for growing a plant, they'll just fine them and get their money.

They also will go hard after people they want to fuck over, political dissidents, minorities and dirty hippies that pissed the cop or prosecutor off.

This kind of "legalization", is a win-win for the police state. Fuck them.

Hopefully people in Illinois will learn about juror nullification and use it.

Craft license Is very doable tho

Knowing this crooked state. They'll asign a task force to monitor electricity and pick and choose who to target smh. Seen it my entire life living here smh

$5000 to apply then $40,000 for the license once you're approved.

That's not what we call "very doable" in the fly-over portion of the state. We call it a years salary... if we are lucky.

Cannabis has always been a moneymaker for governments.

Holy crap. Just grow it. Been growing it somehow and somewhere since 64 and back then in Texas you got hard time for even a joint. Just keep your mouth shut about it. Loose lips sink ships. These cops don’t just suddenly receive this knowledge by osmosis. Just keep it to yourself. I know it’s disappointing. One reason I pulled from Washington quickly. Because the licensed people rat out the black market growers.
