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

[leadmagnet]

Cultivation is one such law that is noticeably non-exempt.

In spite of the fact that the tax cannabis Web site says otherwise, the only medical marijuana exemptions that the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Initiative actually makes are with regard to possession, consumption and purchase limits, which only ensure that patients would still be allowed to buy medicine at dispensaries.

The word â??cultivateâ?� is conspicuously absent. Whereas today a person with a doctorâ??s recommendation has the right to grow up to an unlimited number of plants, the initiative would drastically reduce that number to whatever can fit in a 5â??x5â?? footprint (around 3-6 plantsâ??per property, not per person).

This will force many patients to resort to buying instead of growing their own medicine, because of the inconvenience caused by producing multiple grows a year rather than growing a yearâ??s supply of medicine at one time, as many patients currently do outdoors. And growing indoorsâ??which typically requires special grow lights, an increase in hydro use, and a lot of time and attentionâ??is a comparatively expensive endeavor.

The initiative would further impact medical marijuana patients by banning medicating in the privacy of their own homes if there are minors present, as well as in public (currently perfectly legal[18])â??an invaluable liberty to those with painful diseases who would otherwise have to suffer until they got home to relieve their pain.

Finally, the medical marijuana laws that are exempted from this initiative apparently only apply to cities. For medical marijuana patients who live in an area that has county or local government jurisdiction, according to a strict reading of the initiative, medical marijuana laws are not exempt


Medical Marijuana patients should have different laws that apply to the medical patients

Recreational users should have their own set of laws governing their use

Medical Marijuana patients have a need for weed

Recreational users have a want for weed

All I see is a bunch of recreatioanl users using medical people as a steping stone.....make it legal at all cost.....insted of a stepping stone... you all wanna step all over us

Lol, dude that didn't make your case. You're not familiar with reading these kinds of things are you?

I'm not going to repeat what numerous people have been telling you already braham.

You've worn out my patience. Vote your conscience.

You want to keep waging this war against our people you just keep on doing so. Eventually WE WILL have our justice.

Vote YES on 19!
