legal pot?

[verizon]

hi im from the east cost and it will be a while before we are smokin legally but im curious as to how easy is it to get a doctors reccomendation to buy and use legal marijuana get back at me im very interested?

[GROWxMOREx420]

It's as easy as saying you have aches and pains. I medicate for insomnia and ADD. Hope that helps.....

[budlover13]

It is that easy. I medicate for Fibromyalgia, depression, and insomnia. Things are great just like they are here in California(refering ONLY to the MMJ laws, the rest of it isn't quite so good). I don't understand why so many people are for complete legalization (AKA Prop. 19). All that would do is open up the market to big tobacco. Phillip-Morris and RJReynolds are reported to own a combined 50,000+ acres bought here in Ca. in the last 5 years. I don't trust them. They will grow inferior quality medicine and add preservatives and chemicals to get you addicted. I have smoked both cigarettes and mj since high school. I have quit mj several times in my life for various reasons and resumed when circumstances allowed. I've never been able to quit cigarettes for more than a few days at a time. Keep the laws the same. Vote no on Prop. 19!

Keep smoking naturally! Peace!:bigsmoke:

I don't live in Cali but I've heard Big Tobacco has already been trying to buy dispenseries and shit. Heard Philip Morris offered 300 mil for a few but were told to go f yourself. Rumors? I hope so. But if not, I hope they all tell them to "get out! We don't need ya." I can see it happening though since the gov't is taxing ciggies so much. They'd need to make money somehow. They probably would put chems in it to make it addictive.

[Gelco1990]

300 million dollars for a few dispenseries? I am a business student at Wharton...and that is the most insane thing I've ever heard. I can't see anyone offering that kind of money for a dispenery ever.

[Gelco1990]

And more to the point, let's say they did add a substance such as nicotine to the marijuana they sell. They would have to disclose that information.

You, as the consumer, have the choice whether or not to purchase the product. You either support them or you don't. This is one of the many benefits to free exchange of goods. The market will quickly show that there is a larger demand for additive free marijuana.

And ofcourse, no one company can hold a monopoly on an industry. It would quickly be broken apart just as MANY monopolys have been in this country.

Obviously this is a snipet of what could turn into a huge debate. Any economics major will tell you that you have nothing to worry about when legalization comes. In fact, you'll have a lot to gain in the form of more avaliability, higher quality, and lower prices.

As far as growing your own when it is illegal...I don't see this being a big trend either. Case and point: the distilling of grain into alchohol is a process much simpler than growing, harvesting, and producing marijauana. Yet, virtually no one distills their own alchohol. Why? Because it isn't cost effective.

Anyways...that's about enough for now.

I still say the system is working just fine as it is, on the state level. There is a LOT of money involved here. Not only with sales and taxes on cannabis, but has anyone thought about the fact that the feds can stop ALL federal funding to Ca. if they deem that the state is defying federal law? I'm still voting no on 19, I'm legally growing right now.:rasta:

NO on 19!!!

If we vote yes it will go to big corps so fast your head will spin.

The last thing we need are a bunch of uninformed stoners voting yes simply because they want to smoke pot!!

NO ONE GOES TO JAIL FOR SMOKING POT IN CA!!!

It's a $60 fine!!!!!!!!

Budlover,

Growing marijuana, selling marijuana through a dispensery or or other outlet, smoking marijuana, is still considered illegal on a federal level. The federal government will not stop funding programs in California just because the DEA has a problem with the Medical Marijuana statutes.

The issue of government vs. states right & government vs. state law is MUCH more complicated that anyone on this forum is qualified to discuss...so you should probably not say things like that.

[Gelco1990]

And yes, when legalization comes....big business and big money will be knocking at your door. That is a good thing...and I'll be right there with them.

[budlover13]

I just don't see any good in letting the gov't have any part in thewhole thing. When was the last time they did something and did it right? I've worked for the US government and saw their "logic" first hand.

[Gelco1990]

I completly agree. The government and most of its employees are incompetent losers. That is why they work for them in the first place....they couldnt find a job in the private sector. Thats what I think anyways. No offense to you personally.

but the government wasnt established to grow and sell pot. Its not what they do (nor do they WANT to do this)They will turn it over to private industry.

[middieman440]

you know what, we been doing what we have been doing before it was medical,obviosly whatever happens people will still be doing what they are doing now..plain and simple so who cares what happens because im pretty sure your going to be still smoking/growing it.with what ever the outcome is :thumbsup:

no matter what we the people vote on,the goverment still owns all of us and will do anything they can to control us with what we do it will never change untill we die then its over and done with....

i personally dont care if it becomes legal or not.either way i will still be smoking some of my weed in my home minding my own buisness watching cops on trutv...:stoned: off my ass....

[Gelco1990]

^^^ You are the wisest of us all! That really cheered me up...thank you :)

[budlover13]

This is true, this is true. I just don't want to see big tobacco come in and screw it up. I worked for the Census for two phases. It was the most excruciating job I ever held, but it helped pay bills. I hate having to draw unemployment.:420thought:

[Gelco1990]

me either man. I REALLY dont want to see big tobacco come in. I would love to start a "big marijuana" and do it right...but that requires alot of funds. Maybe ill be able to one day soon.

[mikeyman]

yea wonder what the new Governor will have to say about the pot law if it passes.:)
we will see the alcohol and the tobacco industry into it big time.Remember if more folks smoke pot the less the will drink and smoke cigarettes.So they will be out for money and they will compete for a good product just like beer
