[Markass]

I actually believe it was the michigan coalition for compassionate care that got out and gathered signatures...They're the ones that did the hard work, but it paid off and congrats michiganers....:thumbsup:

We did well yesterday in MA! Blaze one for freedom, folks! You earned it! :jointsmile:

[Esoteric416]

The snowball has built up enough mass that it is now visably rolling.
Congrats MA and MI, roll and smoke in health you've earned it.

Now we need states to start legalizing industrial hemp, then we will truly benefit.

This is awesome news. :D

[Gatekeeper777]

We are indeed living in glorious times. I hope i live to see the day when its decriminalized all over the USA Like OBAMA said he would do.

[chongman420]

I want to move!!!! I'm jealous but congrats! I guarantee IL will be the last state to legalize. :(

try the state of nazi ism otherwise known as Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania isn't even a state. Its a commonwealth so the residents there won't vote on it the govenor will.

true, but MPP was kinda like the national coordinator, creating media word, donating HUGE amount of money for campaign from out of state

anyways, its proven that it works and not even marginally, BY FAR!!!! I'm actually more happy about these 2 bills getting a yes than I am about Obama's election.

I'm quite certain these 2 measures were and are crucial to the fate of the current 2 pro-marijuana house bills. I'm crossing my fingers tighter now:thumbsup::D

Mass is a commonwealth too. Our governor stated when he was elected that he was in favor of decrim and MMJ but 'it is not a priority'. This came directly from the People. You PA folks can do it! Go for it!

[Esoteric416]

^^ seriously ^^ dont let your govenor tell you how it's going to be You are his/her boss, the people of PA call the shots. If you choose to.

signatures and ballots is the way to go man. and u guys better start NOW, since we got the momentum, its easier to catch people's attention and rally the supporters and pro-mj crowd

Deep South will be the only place where such a measure would not have much chance of passage because of all the misinformed people and incredible numbers of hardened minds. also due to having a much larger rural population.

u cannot compare PA with LA or TX man, it takes a whole lot of effort for the latter 2 than for PA. go for it, it starts with u, and it aint all that hard

[boaz]

congrats! missouri next? whos with me? :D

LOL, Never lived in tx or la but These were the places that came to mind when someone said that their state would be last. No LA and Texas will be last. cant you still get 20 yrs in LA for a joint, unless you know some people!

not sure what part of texas you are from, but in a couple of counties up north it's a misdemeanor possesion ticket (or taken to jail, officers discretion) to posses up to 2 0z. it's obviously not decriminaliztion or MMJ but it's getting better. and i do agree, we probably will be last!

up here they are also trying to make every road a toll road (which is bs because the state/county makes money from the NTTA and the people get screwed. i'd much rather pay a state income tax and have them calm the f down. legalize weed and pay for roads and education in texas with the tax money.

harris county kinda sucks man, we dont have such a law in effect to the best of my knowledge but i heard about this discretion thing u r talking about a while ago on local news, but then im sure they said its not enacted in harris county, however it was something both county DA candidates supported as a proposed law that is yet to be approved... however i got no updates since then... it was more like august i think

and i hear ya on this tollroad problem, i rather pay a tax on my weed, as long as it remains within reasonable limits, get it legally and support the state and communities without being charged up to throat with toll fees, what good are they for... when u gotta wait so long in the line, u lose all the time saved goin just 15 miles faster than the access road, hittin no lights, sitting in the long ass lines, getting smugged!!!

and then they go and raise the toll on a road that's been done for years to pay for other new roads....WTF!!! sorry, not trying to thread jack. i hope texas will legalize at least MMJ! come on willie, work some magic!

[flyingimam]

we should probably lobby MPP to lobby TX ;)

in fact i believe we do have a lot of smokers and a lot of anti-pot people around here, with our hiphop culture booming in the last few years and with austin as a student town, along with all the mexican bricks passing thru, i would assume a such a measure can get signatures n go on ballot, but as far as votes, i really cant say anything, more likely it will not get a yes since there are a lot of really traditionalistic conservative or religious ppl around the state not to mentioned lack of public education and information in regards to MMJ or generally marijuana

plus its very easy here to target such a measure: illegal immigrants linked to marijuana and drugs... u see where im goin with this

[dooobster]

Congrats Michigan & Massachusetts... hopefully the domino effect will begin & start knocking the rest of the states down! :D

[Sandm4n]

im in North carolina we have amazing pot but terrible prices :( i think my state is towards the bottom near Texas when it comes to legalization :mad: even though every one smokes here under the age of 30 and i mean every one we still have closed narrow minds controlling our laws come on obama do something!! :hippy:

[kpz352]

I know down here in florida my buddy is doin a year for gettin caught with a bag. I mean a bag less than 20, I dont care if it is the 9th time he's got caught it aint right.I had another buddy get 11/29 for sellin 2-0s to an undercover then he got out 3 mounths later gets hit by a car and killed. wtf. they took away a year of a 21year olds life over 2 fckn 0s . wtf. He was ridein his street bike goin to get somethin happend right in front of me. Like they couldnt have gave him probation or somethin? just so ya know he was never offerd anythingelese besides the 11/29 for sellin to a snitch.
I know this shit ain't right. been smokin my whole life and it's never hurt anybody.

Dont get discourged if it dosent pass. In Michigan MMJ was on the ballot in 2006 and it didnt pass. But we didnt give up and in 2008 we got it back on the ballot and passed it this time.

I helped get signatures to get it on the ballot this year, and when it passed i felt so great. Putting the effort into something you beleive in gets the best payoff ever.

Decrim for Michigan is Next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Demeter]

Keep the pressure on, kids- we can't afford to be complacent. If you want to see it legalized in this lifetime, please cut and paste the "Effective Arguments for Advocates of Taxing and Regulating Marijuana" from the MPP Homepage (http://www.mpp.org) website and forward it to every government official you know. The arguments are well-reasoned and quite persuasive.
:hippy:

[dlocal]

I'll be happy the day I can legally buy some herb like I can a six pack of bud.;)

[stupids]

Yeah...it pass fairly convincingly...like 70% approved the ballot question.
