how does this differf rom the existing prop 36? I am personallyu being screwed (in my eyes) by prop 36. I have a ridiculous felony hash possession charge and due to prop 36, instead of jail time (which I wouldn't get 1st time offender and iots just hash) I have to do their stupid drug court thing. thius souynds like more drug court. drug court sucks.. they screw up your healthcare and override wjhat ytou and your doctirs have decided is best for you. i suffer from a rare form of cancer affecting the adrenal system.. I have to smoke pot to eat and keep my blood pressure under control. I have several doctors who have gone as far as saying I may actually die (of a stroke due to extreme spikes in arterial blood pressure) if i am forced to quit smoking pot as this evil judge is trying to say I have to do. apparently if ytou medical reccomendation expires and you get caught wiht hash all the sudden ypou become a felonious drug offender.. andyways due to prop 36 the diversion program is set in stone, and quite strict requiring weekly UAs and three times weekely "self help" in addition to a weekly drug treatment therapy bullshit time and a weekly probabation meeting not to mention the completwe lack of rights to privacy ANYWHERE while on probation in CA. so fuck prop 36 and unless this is gonna stop sick medical users who for whatever reason do not have a medical reccomendation from being sent through freaking rehab programs to hell with it to. I moved to california to avoid prosecution and have ended up with it worse than I would in many places where there are no medical programs. So as soon as they get me back into court I will have to quit my job so I can somewho make it to 3 freaking na meetingsa a week, because I travel everyweek and work in the field 8 days at a time and then come back home for 6 days off, during which these clowns would like me to spend 100% of my time going to theire meetings and pissing in cups, but since I will be gone for more than a one week period at a time they will not even let me keep working in my salaried benefited career position. these peoples goal is to ruin your life, and they will stop at nothing to take your time from you. i would rather sit in jail for like 30 days then put iup with ridiculously intrusive shit for 3 years.
