The attitude of "I'll only support this" is what is going to hamper this movement. Med users are a minority and if this is going to work you'll need to get people on board who don't use pot. If you tell them how much money the proposal is going to raise for whatever (schools, roads, etc.) they'll be much more likely to sign your petition and vote in your favor. This isn't going to be about industrial hemp either. It's about consumable cannabis and money associated with it.
If you look only at the surface, sure you would be right. But one just can not look at the surface and say, "GEE, Looks fine and dandy to me.".
Who here is aware of WHY Proposition 19 failed in Cali in the 2010 election? I mean it was Legalizing Cannabis, and it was California, WHO thought it could even fail, let alone would have, right?.
Looking at the surface of this scenario, it makes no sense that it failed. the State must of just messed with the vote many would say. But the fact of the matter is it failed because it was a BAD Proposition, and would of made a TERRIBLE Law. Who here is aware that prop 19, had it passed in 2010, would of made it illegal for anyone but a Fully Accredited and State Sanctioned and Authorized Grow facility to cultivate cannabis. All personal grows would of been outlawed per prop 19. Of course this Prop was backed by none other than George Soros of Monsanto Fame. Now who here has the belief that had Prop 19 passed, as worded, that George Soros would not be pretty much the ONLY person with the financial ability to work with the State of Cali to run the STATE GROW Facility, for a cost at the counter of course.....
Just like the original introduction of the dubbed "Dispensary Bill" here, HB-5580. There is language inserted into 5580, that exclaims only State Sanction Facilities can Grow Cannabis, and then has another section that specifically states, this New Bill, if passed, will Trump all other Older laws in terms of Who has Authorization to Grow, and while HB 5580 does state it is meant to work in conjunction with the MMM Act, Without an exclusion for the 08 MMMA written in the "Dispensary Bill", there is a very real chance if the Disp Bill Passes (or was passed as originally introduced) Michigan would be on it ways to the New Jersey Conundrum of Legalized Dispensaries, but 7 years later, the State STILL Has no Dispensaries (New Jersey legalized Medical Cannabis in 2006), and our Loving AG Bull SchuItte would just let it pass that the right to personal grows was made illegal, in lieu of State Sanctioned Facilities that will only take the state a decade or more to implement....
Dont fool yourselves, and fudge the rest of us in the process.
One must NOT allow themselves to be lulled into thinking they are doing ANYTHING for your Benefit, whether you are a Pt, a CG, or just a Citizen. The SYSTEM IS NOT HERE TO HELP YOU, but ONLY TO EXPLOIT YOU.
Taking the Prohibition Status away from State Control, and then turning right around and giving it back to the State to Control is a FOOL's Quest.
Thanks folks!
