Before you collect signatures the wording on the petition has to be approved then printed according to the rules.
Exactly right, these are the Conservative republican judges- the people (us) have political recourse. We vote these turkeys outta there and vote in someone who supports our cause. We also have a republican majority in the state house and senate. You guys can't be passive your voices all need to be heard and you must exert your influence to effect change, otherwise you can't be mad when shit like this happens and we face another setback from the conservatives.
The people in Colorado can buy permits to do Commercial grows, recreational dispensaries and testing facilities. Very similar to how the alcohol industry is set up. It's going to work just going to take a little time just like it did when prohibition was ended.their just fukin with everyone like they did in Oregon.....cats out of the bag here--just like there...
evr try and put a cat back into a bag???
how you guys out there thinking about the whole 'legalization' thing?? .....I think Oregon is as smart as Cali in their efforts-jmo
.....now that you have to buy it from state stores in Washington and the legalize effort in Colorado you can 'only' have 6 plants and 1oz now---restricted home grows thru legalization--
come on weigh in on this ....some folks here think legalization is the best approach....?.....
what say Oregonians? personally I believe decrim is the best approach--
Yes Repeal Today was a huge failure for us in 2012.
we can gather all the sigs you want but when it comes time to vote it will be the special interest groups that will determine the outcome just like they have for quite some time now, when a really good voting day turnout is only in the upper 50 percent of us . the norm is lower 40's its not hard for them to defeat almost anything and its them passing RIGHT TO WORK and NON SMOKING and any NON RIGHTS they can create for a vote. I will be on of the 500k you speak of AND i will vote on it, but MOST won't THAT is the reality of politics they know most of us are just sheep waiting to be shown where to go next.
it's too bad too i think they were headed in the right direction with that
I wasn't the most happy with the wording but sometimes you have to go with what you have. It wasn't difficult at all collecting the 4000 signatures for them i promise you. We did learn some things though and we have that knowledge going for us this time.
I can appreciate your sentiment^^^^^^
worked fine for the last 40+ yrs!
i think we caught them off guard in 2008 an it took them this long to throw the noose back around our throats and NOW they can start to pull on it a little at a time. so i will give you that there are more our there on our side but there are still ALOT of the NOT IN MY LIFETIME folks around to stand up to it. however there dying off fast haaaahhh..
I don't see how decrim keeps people out of jail. Maybe sometimes but you are still vulnerable if they really want you. I want to see it legal across the board. I think many of us don't give ourselves enough credit. We have been rolling with the punches thus far and are still here surviving in a tough game. Even if we have to pool our efforts after the chips fall we might still do way better than you think. I wouldn't mind being a partner in a large commercial op. I also wouldn't mind having competition from smaller ops. Of course there would be other large ops that didn't think the same way.I can appreciate your sentiment^^^^^^
but here in Michigan we have medical use.....that's not going anywhere--
i think watch Colorado closely....I don't think there is as much room for the little guys as some think....just likeliquor license
how many will each area allow? and to who...? for how much$$$$$$$$???
as far as decrim..? Ohio is Ohio .......in Ann arbor it's
thats the model I would support--it's also decrim in Cali for oz or less now....as per the last 'failed' legalization effort--
the best thing I like about decrim is it allows most anyone to possess and still keeps people out of jailandkeeps big $$ from controlling the effects....
if your not smart enough to follow the rules laid out you get 'violated' (fined$$) like most biker clubs do to their members or bloods and crips if you step outside of their allready illegal activities....jm2c
I wouldn't say it was more than was needed but the flaunting may have been. On the other hand some shops were quite discrete.
There is a link to the actual bills on my website.
I'm sure if there were you'd be letting me know wouldn't you?
Believe it or not some of those Christians will vote to legalize if we show them some respect....
You were just one of a couple, nothing directed at you.
