Fuck that idea! You sound like a cop. I want to smoke and grow my own, i'm not hurting anybody so leave me in peace. Let me grow a few and leave me alone.
Nope not a cop. grow your own welfare weed, nobody cares
That is an extremely ignorant statement. If you reasearch you will find that this is how the system is currently run. There is a federal law that states you can posses and distribute mj with a tax stamp but the problem is a stamp has and will never be issued. So your ideal system is already in place. Thanks for the contribution.
Actually the system i described is not in place. The system i described would allow people to smoke marijuana on their private property without worrying about the cops. However they couldn't roll around town with an open government package of weed, it'd have to be sealed and unopened with a government stamp. I don't know why pot smokers actually think they government would let them grow weed, the feds have to get their money... like everything else you buy. Prop 19 fails to address that issue and leaves a gaping hole for cartel influence. Proposition 19 = Cartel-WINS Government-LOSES Smoker-WINS .... My Solution = Cartels-LOSE Government-WINS Smoker-WINS... and it's actually a solution the Federal Government would CONSIDER ... Prop 19 ISN'T
1) cannabis is not a toxin. you can not die from consuming too much of it. That is a medical and scientific fact, not an opinion. If you disagree, you're just wrong.
2) Ending prohibition across the country will severely weaken the power of drug cartels. Prop 19 is the first step towards that goal. And yes, if we stop waging war on drugs, it will stop the drug war by definition.
3) There have been many studies done that say cannabis is easier for highschool kids to buy than beer. This is because cannabis is generally sold on the black market which does not ask for ID's. It will be harder for kids to buy bud if it's sold in stores rather than on street corners.
Let me go at this
1) Cannabis is full of hundreds of toxins, you actually CAN overdose from it but it would take a lot. But that was not what i was talking about. I was talking about the countless auto fatalities attributed to Marijuana
2) So long as there is no government regulation (which proposition 19 has none) then you are giving the Cartels a free pass to sell their weed. Which by my math will be at 1/10th of the price that the stores are going to be selling theirs at.
3) Now High School kids have 2 options.... black market or the store.... So they'll double their chances to cop weed. Shit we all were in high school and knew the guy who'd buy you beer in exchange for a 40 Oz
