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

[StoneMeadow]

nowadays everyone has to pay to play.....curently its a card

No, it's not just the card. Which-oh-by-the-way is a $60 to $100+ a year "tax" that was never voted on. It's also the ongoing artificially high prices patients and everyone else has to pay every time they buy.

your going to be paying the marijuana machine ....the government will become that:thumbsup: thats a fact.

No...it is NOT a fact. Read the actual verbiage of the Proposition: "Allows people 21 years old or older to possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use. Permits local governments to regulate and tax commercial production and sale of marijuana to people 21 years old or older." See that part of allowing the regulation and taxation of COMMERCIAL production and sale of marijuana? That is NOT a license to regulate the private production and use of mj by adults.

Why do you think the commercialization of marijuana is even becoming an option the money ...you have a poor state that needs money....the government needs money

Prop 19 was not a government initiative. In fact the State Gov't opposes it and will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into it by the voters. The commercialization clause was put in there because the backers of the bill want to do commercial grow ops without the local po-po getting their knickers in a knot. They're prepared to pay taxes as the quid-pro-quo, but nobody thinks taxes from commercial pot are going to make any significant difference to our fiscal woes.

That's a topic for another thread on another forum...

These â??Stoners Against Legalizationâ?� blogs confound me; they remind me of Sam Kinisonâ??s line comparing â??Rock Against Drugsâ?� to â??Christians Against Christâ?�. Rating: 5
