Another great thing about this bill is that it states that counties and cities can implement it however they want... meaning that they don't have to follow prop19 if they don't want to. There are still counties/cities that REFUSE prop215 patients and don't allow it in there counties. Hell prop215 was passed 14 years ago.... You can ask all the patients and the clubs that just got raided a month ago BY LOCAL & STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT up in Butte County and Chico how well they think this bill is going to protect them, when their city doesn't even want to recognize prop215, let alone the cities that don't recognize prop215 AT ALL.
This is directly from the CANorml website under Local Cultivation Guidelines:
Despite supposed protections of SB 420 and Prop 215, patients may still be arrested if law enforcement suspects they are outside the law, for example, by being involved in illegal sales or distribution, or growing plants with excessive yields.
In general, the state Attorney General has given local authorities discretion in how they enforce Prop. 215, as explained in a letter to local law enforcement officials.
Wow, since there is so much confusion over prop215 and counties, I can't WAIT to have all the counties also deciding for themselves what they want to do with this!
Also, since its a constitutional amendment, once its in, ITS IN! No more "fixing it afterwards". And don't use the Supreme Court excuse for changing the law like one person did with me, trying to use Prop8 as an example that amendment's can be changed. Prop8 was a CIVIL RIGHTS issue, therefore it was no doubt that it was going to be THROWN OUT, not CHANGED. You CANT create a constitutional amendment that TAKES rights away from a MINORITY (for the person stating that bills are written for "the masses", when in fact, most constitutional amendements are written for minorities...), because that in itself is unconstutional. The Supreme Court saw that, knew it was bullshit, and so they COMPLETELY THREW OUT PROP8, nothing was amended to it. Once a bill is voted in by the people, it either a) Stays in or b) gets thrown out. There is no changing it, as pro-prop19 would want you to believe. SB420 being thrown out is all the proof you need of this...
Also, for anyone that wants to use the bullshit excuse of that I'm somehow making $ off of prop19 failing, that is complete bullshit, because I STRICTLY grow for PERSONAL between my wife & I, and I have NEVER profited off of cannabis in ANYWAY. I just see how much of a bullshit bill this is.
This will be the last time that I post this argument, because I've posted it 3 times in this thread already, and NONE of the pro-19 people even responded to it, they would rather ignore it I guess, and continue to think that prop19 is some great bill that is going to make cali a weed haven for all cannabis related prisoners, and we will be dancing in the streets as the STATE & LOCAL cops continue to raid LAW ABIDING citizens (like is what happening with 215 currently).
