California to Legalize Weed for Everyone

[Sabin]

Well, it is $50. annual the word ANNUAL permit for the GROWTH of one plant, but you could get two in a years time...lol the freedom to grow one and to buy anytime is a good feeling. I agree also, still Federal it's a crime. State can say all it wants, still a crime until off a Federal list.

All I know is this, I can grow 6 mature, 6 vegi state and I am allowed 8 oz in one jar 8 freaking oz!!! Even if the laws fight back and forth forever, weed goes on and on and will never die.

Now if we could get everyone to stop drinking beer, and alcohol for say a week can you imagine the impact on that industry. That would teach them. :)

$5 stamp will be required for the sale of an eighth ounce of marijuana and a $50 annual license will be required for the growth of one marijuana plant. To protect participants and encourage participation in the system, such licenses and stamps will be available anonymously in stores where marijuana is sold.

This is a great foot in the door for us. We can hope that this will spread to other states as well. I know for me and my back and my wife with RA this would be a great help.
We live in Tn you get the 3 degree here for even wanting a friggin asprin. Part of the reason we are moving the hell out.

As a med can user here in Cal all I can say is, "It makes an awful lot of sense outta all this nonsense".

[Sabin]

I hear the both of you. And yes, the rest of the nation does fall in place whenever Calif. passes something. Two important things in America Money & Oil. Calif passes weed laws, it will be based on the fact Calif. has money. Even in the red, Calif. can bounce back. 17.5 Billion in the red.

We passes Gay Marriage for now till Nov. Ballot, $85.00 a pop for a Lic. per couple, times that at over 100.000 if not more couples $85.00 x 100.000.00 = $85.000.000 million. Now add in taxes on hotels, food, cakes, tuxes and so on and Calif. gets back in the black.

I could see gays getting Calif. in the black only to vote NO in Nov. and Calif. was saved. Calif. and this Nation would be foolish not to allow freedoms, because after all, what has being Conservative done for us? I'd still be dressing like in the 1500 or 17 century. Change must come.

Change is all of us growing. Bible belt, what a joke. They can all wait for the 2nd coming and find out it's hum, huh, just a book, only to never ever know. Or we can come together and create a peace an open society and follow your own dreams and interpretations.

I wish every state would follow Cali's lead on Cannabis laws. Unfortunately, in 12 years there are only 12 (?) states with a law for MMJ. One a year. For some reason, many people in my state seem to hates Californians, so anything they do is anathema.

The good news is that there are more states with initiatives in the works.

[Sabin]

Yup, I hope we all come together like the 60's and stand together to fight for our country, our rights. They used to protest, and now, today.....dunno???

It takes one (1) to lead the many. Where there's a will, there's a way.

i remember growing up in las vegas and a roach was a felony or even a seed. i saw friends get felonys for seeds or roaches. its come a long way. I hope and pray for any change for the better. It should be decriminalized.

[Sabin]

Hey LAS VEGAS still in 1990 had sodomy laws still on the books....in VEGAS? Sodomy the most sexual & Sensual place in America with Mustang clubs and Brothels....lol, well, up until kids were allowed, then they cooled it. I think the law came off the books in 1994 or 1996 Yet, Texas still had it till 1999 or so but, Texas is Texas we don't care about Texas...lol

Even though our tax dollars pay for the grow, the Gov't still finds it necessary to charge us $5/g. If one needs 5g/daily then you're looking at $750/mo. For many this is their total monthly income.
Only the cannabis purchased from the Gov't can be used as a medical expense on your income tax return. If your purchased elsewhere, i.e. Compassion Club, your can't use it as a medical expense.
The Gov't has no compassion. I say NIX ANY TAX ON CANNABIS, NIX ANY GOV'T ATTEMPT TO CONTROL THE GROWING, DISTRIBUTION OR QUALITY OF CANNABIS.

I don't need any Gov't interference in my life, especially when it comes to my health. My doctor would rather I take morphin but I say NO WAY. Cannabis is the way for me.

The bill Oregon is trying to pass is WAY better, totaly unregulated for personal use, and tax on the sale of Marijuana. The way it should be. Way to go for Vermont legalizing hemp too. Now we just need to be able to grow seeded hemp (for the hempseed oil), and use it as a biofuel (the oil, and the biomass as ethanol approx 1300 gallons could be harvested per an acre). Hemp is the largest producer of bio fuel on the planet, it is over 4 times more efficient than corn, sugar beets, sunflowers, soy, etc. They estimate that if we grew hemp on 6% of the US that we could supply all of the power to the county, industrial, domestic, etc.. The US currently pays farmers to let 90 million acres of land stay fallow, 90 million acres is 6% of the US. Kind of funny, also we have 500 million acres of farm land that has been deemed less than worth to grow crops on, hemp would grow on much of this land. Using bio fuels would create a balanced CO2 level in our atmosphere, they take in as much CO2 while growing as they release when burned. Also, the best way to do it would be to have farmers growing hemp locally, you would purchase your fuel directly from the farmers, keeping the money in your local economy, instead of sending it over seas. This would stimulate the economy, create jobs, etc. in the process of saving the world. Why is our government against using the most usefull plant on the Earth, especially when our country was practically founded on growing hemp. G.W. (Washington not Bush), said "sow the indian hemp seed everywhere", T Jefferson, "Hemp is nessicary for the wealth and protection of our country". Henry Ford one of the top econimists ever, was all about growing hemp. He made a car that was 80% hemp, and ran on hemp, and he asked why we kept drilling for oil and cutting down old growth forests instead of annually growing a completely sustainable resource. End the lies, Educate, Inform, be a catalyst for change!!!!
