California may legalize cannabis

[......]

no it won't. why the hell would you want it to.. funny how most of you actully think legalizing it is going to make it better, well it not..

well said,if i ived there I would vote no.

one bad apple runins a bunch and cali is going to start or has already.. i don't sell but all i know is if and when oregon follows us medical patiants will be fucked from growing.. mark my words

Do you make your own pills? Do you grow all of your own food? Do you brew your own beer? Do you distill your own liquor? Do you grow your own tobacco?...

You know why? Cause it is cheaper / easier to run to the store.

No one has ever put a stop to home-brewed beer, so I fail to see how they're going to put a stop to home-grown weed, once legalization occurs, if it does indeed occur. Of course, there is a bit of a precedence with still-produced alcohol, but alcohol is to beer like opium is to weed, IMO. Sure, you don't want just anyone making their own opium or liquor, but what's wrong with people making their own beer and/or weed? Plenty of people would still buy billions of dollars worth of commercially grown MJ that they bought in authorized locations, legally. Those of us who enjoy and are well-versed in growing our own would still do so without creating much of a dent in the commercial market.

Your anology is off. Liquor is to Beer as Hash is to Cannabis. Heroin is to Opium

How many home brewers do you know? Out of all of the beer made in the US a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of 1% is made at home. I know a few home brewers and none of them rely EXCLUSIVELY on the beer they brew. They all buy commercial beers and wines. Home growing would become almost non-existent except for the few purists.

I agree with you. My analogy was a bit addled, but it was the best I could come up with on the spur of the moment. Of course, all the home brewers I know drink commercial beer, also. That wasn't really the point I was trying to make. I was really just trying to refute a previous poster's assertion that if MJ was legalized there would subsequently be laws passed that wouldn't allow people to continue growing their own at home. I just fail to see how this would automatically happen after legalization. Hence, the home brew analogy.

Honestly, I would continue to grow if it was legalized. My plants might actually turn out a bit nicer cause I wouldnt have to snip here or there to tide me over. I'm done buying weed from dealers. Sad fact to come to these forums and watch people willing to vote no to what most have only dared to dream for no other reason than loss of profit. People like that have forgotten what side they're on IMO.

I agree with you. This site disgusts me at times. They would rather make money and be criminals and risk losing their freedom than have freedom.

Does anyone know with this law if medical users could still buy from dispensaries or could you not be prescribed until 21? It won't effect me, but my younger cousin who I'm real tight with plans to move out west with me after I graduate from KU next spring and he'll be graduating high school and moving in with me while he goes to school out there, and it will be a total bummer if the hammer of the law came hard down on him, but really it probably wouldn't stop anything, cause I'd be smart about smoking with him like I am now whenever were together. Idk I think the age should be 18 personally but I guess once I get in my older twenties and thirties it won't make a difference once everyone I know will be older, but for now I still would just prefer the age to be 18 like other smoking products, you only have to be 18 to buy legal highs and things like salvia, which can be intense as hell, or even only 18 for K2 which gives a very similar high as some weeds give, so why not 18 for weed too?

Cheers. I see what you meant. They cant stop growing now - why anyone would be MORE afraid of prosecution after legalization blows my mind.

There are people in prison and families that are ruined by prohibition and these selfish pricks oppose legalization because they are worried about preserving their profit margins.

$5500 a lb???? lol where are you at? I do not think it will pass either, not the 1st time around anyway. I will be voting NO....

350/oz for high quality stuff in California at a legal collective.

Goddamn I couldn't put it better... all of you voting no are in my opinion, selfish assholes. Plenty of people brew their own beer, yes there might be some rules and guidelines to follow, so be it, that's the way of the world, there are guidelines to everything. But to say NO to legalizing pot because you're worried about the price drop, is dead on selfish and wrong to inflict upon our fellow smokers.

Should be ashamed of yourselves.

Now, shall it become legal... I've got a good many acres in rural farm land, anyone up to be a part of my new company, Hazy Acres LLC?

 

[Dirty Harry]

I also agree. So sad that greed makes one willing to risk everything instead of working out a balance.

Hell, I only live on an acre, but I'll rent sharecropper every square foot I have. I provide the land, they do all the work.

They already have restrictions on how many plants a medical marijuana patient can grow so is it so crazy to think they will put restrictions on growing if it is completely legalized? And that that may affect medical patients?

 

[SuperSneaky]

The law excludes mmj dumbasses. Don't worry your still gna get your "meds" as you like to conveiently call them.

 

[stupidclown]

So far the powers that be say there isn't enough support to actually pass it.

Most people I know are voting 'no' to keep the price high. 5500/lb would go to ~3000/lb if it legalizes from what I understand.

ha ha thats a joke right? 5500 a lb? boy have i got a deal for you only 5000 a lb as many as you want.

btw this prop is crap you are much better off with a med card than this prop.

no one in their right mind would buy a pound at a time at $350 a zip. Also when it is sold to the collective they buy it at a "wholesale" price and sell it at "retail" price. No grower is getting $350 a zip out here when selling by the LB.

 

[indy kuh]

Heres how i see it, i am totally for the legalization of pot. For starters if it does become legal, id bet that all the hype about the illicit drug "marijuana" would drop. I w

Voteing no is like voteing against the freedom of choice.... are you such slaves to coins?

 

[grow plenty]

all you fuckin lazy dope dealers better get off your ass and get a real job cuz when its legal...and it will be (cuz stoners out number dealers about agazillion to one) aint nobody gonna buy your dope cuz they can get it from me for free! just like i give my tomatos to friends, i will give that shit away, so learn a trade...or take the loss! as for all you med patients....you should just chill and vote yes....LEGAL weed is just as good and affective as the shit your paying out the ass for now. and for all the other no-voters...go do about 2 or 3 years in one of the many fine correction instutitutions in this country, FOR POSSESION, and then vote no! Chicken shit lazy ass losers.................

 

[gumball]

And yall selling it worried about losing money, listen. If it becomes legal, some of you may be in a position to become legitimate business men and women (if you are not already) selling this stuff or working with the government or someone else to cultivate it. Just remember this can give as many opportunities as it can take away. You must look through the bad to see the good though...
