Californiaâ??s Prop 19: A Word-for-Word Analysis

[WillyNilly]

Prop 19 changes none of that. but, i think you guys really know that already. :twocents:

It's VERY clear that 19 does NOT affect medical users and growers. Why do people continue to think it does?

Here is the exact wording of the prop:

6. Provide easier, safer access for patients who need cannabis for medical purposes.

7. Ensure that if a city decides not to tax and regulate the sale of cannabis, that buying and selling cannabis within that cityâ??s limits remain illegal, but that the cityâ??s citizens still have the right to possess and consume small amounts, except as permitted under Health and Safety Sections 11362.5 and 11362.7 through 11362.9.
8. Ensure that if a city decides it does want to tax and regulate the buying and selling of cannabis (to and from adults only), that a strictly controlled legal system is implemented to oversee and regulate cultivation, distribution, and sales, and that the city will have control over how and how much cannabis can be bought and sold, except as permitted under Health and Safety Sections 11362.5 and 11362.7 through 11362.9.

------------
Even if your community decides to NOT allow commercial sales, ALL the rules that exist now under 215 and 420 remain in place, and all the growers, co-ops, etc., will do business as usual.

You'll also be able to grow a 5x5 patch for personal consumption that you can share with (but not sell to) any other adult. No more busts for having a joint, or passing one around at your next party, or having a bong in your car.

How is that not a major improvement over the laws we have now?
