There would have been a far better response to the proposition if they had included in it absolutely concrete wording such as ' This proposition does not in any way effect medical marijuana patients or there caregivers, The purpose of this proposition is to establish legislation to tax and regulate the recreational use of Marijuana aka Cannabis sativa , Cannabis Indica and Cannabis ruderalis ." If it had straight out said that this proposition is in regards to recreational cannabis use for adults that would have done a lot more also The proposition needs to cover people 18 and older as well people have said that because we are treating it like alcohol that it has to be regulated the same but the thing is we know its not anywhere near the danger level of alcohol and lowering the age while controversial can easily be answered by just showing how In canada the legal age of consent to drink is 19 and our senate in 2002 reccomended that cannabis be legalized for person 16 and older. Also there has to be regulations added to protect people from drugged driving such as having burnt cannabis in the car i.e a roach or paraphenalia even and anyone who is caught with these things would be treated like a driver with an open package in the car. Also there needs to be a set tax rate and not leaving it up to the individual counties or municipalities to determine there own tax rate , well at least for commercial sales I do however believe that depending on the county the taxes that a commercial operation would pay on there property should be increased as well as forcing any grow operation that operates in an industrial zone should be required to have a trained and fully equipped fire fighting crew on site 24/7. But the main thing it needs to include these things and spell out exactly how it will work with no wriggle room.
