i did read the law. i can get you a copy. i don't live in california anyways. i'm just interested in all the bs being spread. because it's just that, BS.
it does not have ANYTHING to do with medicinal marijuana boy. the sentence you are reading is found in the PURPOSE section of the law document. the word medical is only found two times, both in the PURPOSE section of the law. read ahead:
the PURPOSE and INTENT sections are meant to give JUDGES an idea of the spirit of the law. it does not include the text of the law itself.
let's look at the two times medical appears in the prop:
Purpose #6: Provide easier, safer access for patients who need cannabis for medical purposes.
so, it does not say that it's purpose is to make access for patients any harder. any provision within the law tha would contradict this purpose, would make the law contradictory to itself, redundant, and would not be put up for a vote.
PURPOSE 12: Make cannabis available for scientific, medical, industrial and research purposes.
once again. any provision within the law that goes against this purpose makes the law contradictory to itself, and it would not have gotten to this level. you know, the ballot.
if i wasn't clear, the actual LAW part of this, and EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF LEGISLATION YOU EVER READ, starts out something like:
Article 23 of Chapter 2 of Division IV of the Health code, commencing in Article 1200 added to read:
Article 1200- Blah BLah Blah.
The actual law portion of any law/bill/proposition clearly states what volume/chapter/article/division/part/ of wherever the law is to be written, and that it starts at article XXXX reading as follows.... something like that.
in the case of prop 19, the changes in law that will occur are introduced like this:
Article 5 of Chapter 5 of Division 10 of the Health and Safety Code, commencing with section 11300 is added to read:
the changes in law that will occur start with the following line. all those lines before it?? it's the findings, purpose, intent.... but not the law itself......
