better read that bill thoroughly before supporting it.



edit: I agree with you imagereaper, that's one problem I have with it being criminal too. however, having the GOV control, manufacture, tax, and regulate my favorite flower doesn't sound like a good option either.

can someone convince me that legalization is a good thing?
that is great question. i was born in Cali but don't live there anymore so i'll try to stay out of the debate, but . . . :jointsmile: i tend to agree with the Mayor that the local growers will be the winners if this passes. the way this bill is worded it allows counties but does not force them to legalize sales, so the change over should be fairly limited at first. Probably just SF and Oaksterdam for a while. It would still take some serious cajone's for the counties and cities to basically tell the feds to f' themselves with their stupid little cannabis laws.

but i could be wrong. maybe the status quo is best for the growers and the patients.

as an outsider, i support this if it means i can hop a plane to Oaksterdam and legally purchase cannabis, being an adult and all. I'm not sure if this new law would only apply to Cali citizens but I would think the counties and cities could hammer out all those details later. :smokin:

but, to answer the question from mrchanger, I don't live in Cali and I'm not an attorney but yes, you must be a Californian to qualify for Prop 215. I don't think there are any legal ways around that but others with medical and/or legal backgrounds would know better than me. I would hope that there is some sort of emergency allowance for people with, for example, cancer who need it for chemo or something, but I'm not even really sure about that. Someone from California would know a lot more than me.
