Leagilization/Decriminalization

[Gatekeeper777]

I thought it would be interesting to ask what members wanted and what they wanted as far as regulation.
I can start.

Decriminilization. no penalty for amounts up to 400 DRIED grams in the home and 56 on said person for personal use with no more then 10 plants per household.
No one under the age of 18 to possess/ Unless prescribed by a doctor.
sale or transfer of MJ of amounts less then 1 pound is leagle.
Sale to minors(under 18) from street venders is punishable for 5 years mandatory. I know flames are comming)
Minors with a MJ med card can get their script filled at a grow op.
States can regulate sale and taxes.
Federal tax of 5% per gram ( we have to pay off the bail out somehow.)

Anyone else have ides?

what's it matter man the gov is always gonna shoot us down they make more money with their fake war on terror and their fake war on drugs that they dont sell, that's what it should be called war on drugs we havent got paid for.we gotta find a new way to beat um at their own game somehow hopefully someone smarter than me will figure it out and let me know.

Just like the peeps in MI and MA did. They stood up and said wht they wanted.
Every plan has a starting point.
This is a starting point for talks for Leagilization/Decriminalization and hopefully standardization.
It isn't goona happen as long as peeps say it wont.
So you have choice sit at home and whine or do something.

obviously you knew it was coming, but why the 5 years mandatory? Just for weed? damn dude, thats kinda ridiculous.

I think if you want it Leagilized or Decriminalized you will need to start somewhere.
The American public has been fed bullshit for almost 100 years. if you leagize it then the pushers will target second graders. they used all kinds of scare tactics. So a harsh punishment will need to be offered in order to squash public fears about MJ and minors. Just like they have for Alcohol.
Once the public is past the baby in the crib hitting the hooka then the laws can be adjusted.

legalize it, same way as alcohol was legalized and regulated, u dont see alcohol companies pushing it on kids, nore legally selling it to non-adults

even tobacco companies are barred from advertising

yet i think mj has enough of a market to be an incentive for some people to create business

but sound regulation is VERY IMPORTANT if we dont want a backlash from such a move. already those who smoke it, find it or grow it rather easily and keep on smoking, use drug-test kits to dodge all the control and the world goes on as usual if all of this was done legally!!

we would just stop ruining lives and save big money and even make tax revenues

no matter how u look at it, except from the "moral" way of sending the wrong message to kids pov (like tobacco ads and alcohol ads are not the wrong message sent to kids, or do we want sober nation alltogether, just cant ban these 2 anymore???) its a win-win-win-win for everyone

Legalization:

Legal home growing for personal use without the need for a license - I would say 15 plants or fewer (this is a generous limit to allow for a few varieties of mother plants, small scale hobby breeding, etc.)

Licensed growing for sale - This would be similar to the licensing requirements for micro-breweries. This should require annual/bi-annual license renewal. These grow operations would be subject to health and safety inspections to avoid such dangers as mold, unsafe fungicides/insecticides used during bloom, and etc.

Legal sale at licensed stores with a system similar to current liquor licenses. Any coffee house, grocery store, liquor store, etc. should be able to apply for a license and sell Marijuana over the counter to adults. These licenses should be granted by the municipality just as current liquor licenses are.

As far as weight limits, why? Is there currently a limit on how much alcohol you can possess in your home? As long as anyone can purchase over the counter from local retailers then we don't need to worry about how much is personal use and how much is intent to distribute. I've never heard of anyone being busted for having too much Budweiser in their home without a license.

I make wine at home as a hobby. I am able to make 500 gallons per adult over 21 in my house per year.
Now why is it leagle for me to make an adictive drug like alcohol in mass quantity but yet illeagle for me to grow one benificial plant? CANYOU SAY "Pharma!"

But still it is just plain BS!
