The only real bad part to the bill that is proposed is the 25 sq. ft. maximum limit for space to grow in, I mean I literally have single plants that cover more space than that. The more and more I hear about it, I think I will be voting no ont the upcoming ballot, I have my medical liscense and as long as you have a little cash anyone can basicly get their liscense, I like it the way it is, especially now with the new supreme court ruling. Sorry to all those that will disagree, but I believe the full legalization would not be an entirely good thing. I mean 25sq ft to grow in outdoors, that is a joke, Im still undecided but leaning towards voting no, which is funny because a few months ago I was all for complete legalization. Peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should try reading the bill at TaxCannabis.org. Medical patients won't be affected. That means that you get
two gardens. One medical and one personal. The bad part about the size of the grow is the 1oz. possession limit. I can only assume they're looking at a perpetual system since this bill is coming out of Oakland.
its not fair those the growers who have put in the work. its really not. think of places like humboldt county who make a living out of this...and it stimulates their local economy...
make it legal and they are out of work and the government is back in business. not fair. the market is more open now that its illegal than if it were legal...
once its legal the camel's and newports of weed will take over...all the little people out of work or getting jobs with said companies not making nearly the $ they could have on their own.
prop 215 is a medicinal cannabis program. i agree. however its not very hard to fake insomnia or migraines...or anxiety (whatever it may be).
half of these places just ask you what you're problems are if you have one that mj treats you're in business. lets not be so square and worry about "committing fraud".
their are plenty of frauds in this world and claiming a false or half true illness to legally obtain cannabis is the least of anyones worries. its not hurting anyone...
im not saying everyone should go and lie but lets be honest you can get a card very easily.
taxes is the fast track to legitimacy but the fast track isnt always the best path.
im against anything that makes the growers/buyers give up their money...
It's not fair to the growers? How about it's not fair to the smokers who get to sit in prison so the growers can make six figure incomes? That's just pure greed. Those growers are only out of work if they aren't intelligent enough to adapt with the market,
like every other market.
As far as the big companies coming in. Of course they will. Think about beer and all of the microbrews. The companies that make good product are able to compete on some level, from local to national. What we're going to see are a lot of local specialty brands with the best going regional and possibly statewide. Of course, those growers will have to dig their heads out of the sand and invest in getting legal.
Some people have this thing called "character". That means that they don't want to commit fraud or add to the growing national joke that is our MMJ system. When NJ legalized MMJ they flat out that their laws weren't going to be a joke like California's. It's really hard defending the legitimacy of MMJ for people
that actually need it when there are people that see no problem with abusing the system. This will eventually backfire on the entire MMJ community as the public gets tired of the abuse of the system.
Legalization for taxation is the only
legitimate way to go. Alcohol and tobacco are taxed so why shouldn't marijuana be taxed? You're free to brew your own beer, grow your own tobacco, and you'll be free to grow your own weed. You'll even get good at it with experience.
